Definitely a bonus. My dad doesn't have much to do with us to keep the peace with his wife (cos she hates the lot of us) and said that he would rather not get divorced so he can keep his money and leave it to us when he dies.

I told him "**** the money dad, I'd rather have a relationship with you NOW than tell my kids that they did have a poppy that they didn't see much but hey, here's $20 from his grave"

As far as I'm concerned, we get by on our own means, whether they be limited or not. We shouldn't rely on our parents to provide us anything when they die, because I'd rather them live it up while they can.
