    I’m an only child. My parents are in their late 60s. When they sell their lakefront house they’ll make over $2 million. They have a will that says I get pretty much everything, with certain assets that go to my cousins (We’re a rather small family overall).

    Unless something catastrophic happens, I’m not seeing that any time soon. They’re both very healthy people. But they helped my partner and I move across the country and buy a homestead a number of years ago.

    While I am not expecting a substantial amount of money being transferred into my bank account, they’re helping in other ways.

    It probably helps that I don’t live in the USA where if anything medical did happen they’d be sucked dry. And I thank God every day for that.

    Shit, my married partner and I are working on getting them (my partner) gender affirming surgeries set up, which both surgeries are 100% covered by our provincial healthcare. It’ll cost us gas money and that’s it. Maybe private parking for like $20 or something.
