>Be my father 10 years ago >Own two rental properties and a personal house and works full time job. >Says "Son, when I pass away I'm leaving all of this to you" >5 years ago - Sells all rental houses, lives in his personal house renting out the upstairs. >Spends thousands to remodel the house, brand new kitchen/laundry appliances (he doesn't cook, just uses the microwave) >2 years ago - retires, starts making beautiful pieces of art in his garage. Nearly 100 pieces of high quality hand painted art, hand framed. Self promotes and some end up in local galleries, coffee shops, and office buildings.

The country is so beautiful, I just want to drive around until it's my time"
Anyone else dealing with shitty lying boomer parents? Am I selfish to have expected at least a portion of what was promised to me or should I just accept that he now wants to exhaust every penny that he's ever earned on end-of-life hedonistic pleasure instead of leaving a nest egg to posterity like he promised?
Accidents happen, you know. Maybe your father doesn't make it to his road trip. Such a tragedy it would be. I'm sure his memory will live on in those paintings. Remember, artwork is worth more when the artist no longer inhabits the mortal plane.
Joseph Ross
Nothing wrong with doing your father a few favours here and there. Just don't take away from your own time doing it. The next time he needs your help do it with the expectation of no reward (or refuse to do it).
Jordan Davis
Have these fucking idiots never heard of generational wealth
Luke Kelly
You’re father sounds like the type of person to donate all his money away to chairty when he dies. Good luck OP, you’re on your own.
Parker Barnes
Lesson 1 - never trust anyone build your own future/capital. Lesson 2 - Disregard anything someone that got lucky says, they are delusional, might have survivor bias. Lesson 3 - Do not trust anyone but do not go full flat earther either
Joshua Perez
U have plenty of time to manipulate him when he gets older and dementia starts setting in.
Landon Bennett
Based and redpilled
Aaron Jenkins
He's going to sell everything and then live a homeless nomadic lifestyle on the road in his new gentrified van until all of his funds are gone or he dies. Whichever comes first.
I'm not angry about having done website work for him for his artwork. I am, however, kind of annoyed that he broke every single promise that he ever made to me and for seemingly selfish reasons. He is heartless and has turned his back on his immediate family, he won't even talk to his siblings. I just don't understand his mentality.
He literally gives no fucks about anyone but himself. Used to be extremely political and patriotic, now he doesn't give a shit about the direction that the country goes because even if it descends into "total chaos" he won't have to deal with it because "he's too old and on his way out".
Wouldn't surprise me. But what is more likely is that he would spend every penny that he can on hedonistic pleasure before his death.
I feel you, I wasn't depending on any of his shit for my personal financial stability, I just expected him to follow through with familial inheritance promises that he's been making for decades now.
He and I are like opposites when it comes to money. I am extremely frugal and barely spend money whereas he loves to spend money and surround himself with materialism which he views as a representation of success despite not having a practical use for any of it.
Anything that he would have left me would have been passed on to my children and their children.
I won't though. He's talking about selling everything now, getting pennies for his artwork, and living this homeless nomadic lifestyle starting THIS YEAR.
By the time he has dementia, he will have nothing but his social security income.
Ryder Reyes
Tell him to pull himself up by the bootstraps and get a fucking job
Jackson Morris
NEVER going to happen. He's already set his mind to planning his hedonistic end-of-life adventure. He is stubborn and could care less about the opinion of anyone else on this planet.
Brody Bailey

Ayden Richardson
I have four grandparents and they all have either; reversed mortgaged their homes, bought shitty tech (cars, tvs, high grade laptops), or blew all of their money at casinos. My parents are getting nothing.
Why are boomers so bent on destroying the country with pensions and then wasting their wealth on meme tech companies? Where did this mentality of fuck the future come from?
>"It's alright dad, I will be taking care of you during your last years when you are too weak to move out of your bed :)" >leave him shitting and rotting in his bed are you a baby OP? he's obviously shitting on you
Blake Lee
>could care less you deserve to be poor
Zachary Scott
Yeah I realize this. I don't hate the guy but at this point I wouldn't give him a wet bale of hay to sleep on if he needed it. He had better not ask me for a damn thing before it's all over.
>He's going to sell everything and then live a homeless nomadic lifestyle on the road in his new gentrified van until all of his funds are gone or he dies. Whichever comes first.
He's going to develop some chronic old age illness in a few years and then expect you to be his 24 hr nurse. Start looking into Medicaid and nursing homes now.
Nathaniel Young
You're probably not far from the truth. He's already had major health issues in his life and from what he tells me he's been gorging himself at all-you-can-eat buffets. He might even have health issues now that he's not telling me about. I can't say for sure, I haven't seen him in 6 years since I flew out to see him.
He never came out to visit me a single time since I moved away almost 10 years ago. Go figure.
He would probably jump off of a cliff at one of the National Parks that he plans on parking at before going to a nursing home though.
this. when he runs out of money, which he will, he will expect to be able to move into your house.
Lincoln Morgan
boomers are subhumans.
Jason Wilson
Hmm jump off a cliff you say? Hey have you ever gone hiking with him?
Hudson Ward
Was told by at a boomer interview he needs someone with more experience. Ventured into off topic talk. I asked him how he got into the business. After college an older gentleman took him under his wing. Wtf is wrong with society.
Hunter Phillips
They've all abandoned their faith to worship the false god of consumerism before their ticket is up.
Why do millennials think they are entitled to inheritances? Your parents don't owe you shit when they die.
Benjamin Evans
It's different if they keep boasting: This is all yours soon.
Jose Johnson
If it wasn't so difficult to get away with murder today thanks to forensics, I'd agree that a hiking trip is due. But it is so I suggest you confront him. If he acts like a bitch or tried to turn it on you, just cut off contact with him.
When he's dying from liver cancer and wants to reconcile so he can die in peace or smooch off of you, tell him to fuck off. It's the only satisfaction you'll get from a boomer.
If you do start/have a family, just use him as a cautionary tale about how shitty the boomers were.
Charles Evans
If he would have never promised an inheritance to me I would have been like "whatever". But he's literally been mind-fucking me with promises of inheritance for nearly 15 years for purposes of manipulation.
A man's word is his bond. Boomers have zero honor and deserve to be treated as such.
They do if they don't want to spend their last years in a miserable nursing home
Isaiah Young
Yeah, I guess their parents weren't wrong about them being children of Satan because they listened to rock music.
They really were, just for different reasons.
William Hughes
They're actually worse than Islam, gays, and Jews. Because none of those get a fraction of power unless the boomer spreads his asshole wide.
Gabriel Martinez
So just stop talking to him. If he doesn't give a shit, why should you care about him. You are not a pet.
Carson Evans
>boohoo im not getting a free handout Youve been leeching off him long enough. Get a job
Angel Brown
it made me realize that my previous employers, also boomers, were also unwilling to teach me their ((trade secrets)). Granted they have no right to. But there's a feeling that boomers are less willing to teach or pass down skills to future generations, for their sake of accumulating for their soon to be non existent retirement funds. Hopefully this is a bad streak of boomer employers.
Tyler Nelson
>my father should give ME everything he’s worked for instead of using it to enjoy his own life! Fuck off
Jordan Price
Maybe learn to work hard zomies No you'll protest guns now I guess and cry cause there are poor people and you cant find a fun job to pay off your student loans
>downloadfile-1 >Facebook memes Just suffocate him with a pillow, OP. It's really all they deserve for being objectively the worst members of any blood line.
Hunter Ross
how old is he?
Adrian Watson
What you don't realize is that the man making you that promise from 10 years ago is not the same man today. People's mental faculties decline with age, and their desires change. Either way your parents don't owe you shit. Make your own way
Adam Adams
I haven't leeched off of him whatsoever. I haven't lived under his roof during my entire adult life. I paid for my own college degree by taking loans and paying them off. He offered nothing. I've been working since age 14 and am in early 30's now. I have never asked him for a dime and have only helped him with his art business out of support for my own immediate family; something he would never do.
Family should not make promises that they do not intend to keep for the purposes of manipulation.
>Family should not make promises that they do not intend to keep for the purposes of manipulation. Sounds like he’s just a flaky person who changes his mind a lot, you should know this already after growing up with him. Not exactly a great quality but he doesn’t owe you any of the things you claim he does.
Aiden Nguyen
I've already paid off my student loans, boomer. If I made a promise to my son, I would keep my word because I am a man of honor unlike most boomers.
I have two things in this life-- My word and my balls.. and I don't break them for nobody.
He's been pretty consistent. The whole homeless nomadic living in a van lifestyle is way out of fucking character. I'm not sure what's going on in his head.
Joshua Miller
Baby Doomers have been told that their whole lives that The World is ending, and why just look at everything get worse! As surely as I will die!
This is all it took to get Baby Doomers to throw western civilization out with the fluoridated, estrogenic, radioactive bathwater.
Andrew Sullivan
No one said he owed him anything. We're just recognizing the fact that he's a shit person and father. OP doesn't owe him a bed, medical bills, or a burial service either.
Tyler Thompson
>work hard I forgot to mention that he promised the rental property inheritance while I was helping him gut and remodel the rental properties in my early 20's. Backbreaking labor which he never paid me a dime for.
>thinking you're entitled to the profits of others democrat detected. get thrown from a helicopter commie

Fuuuuuuckkk youuuu. Go make your own goddamn money. Fuck your nest egg to posterity, fag boi. There's nothing I hate more than inherited money. I know too many fucktards who have their lives set up for them despite their utter incompetence because they're goddamn parents made something of themselves.
Your dad is still a douche for breaking promises tho.
Ryder Richardson

This board has become so repetitive and predictable. Same shit every day.
Juan Roberts
>I can't have it so nobody should Your parents failed you by not starting you off in life. They failed you. It's not other children being spoiled by their parents. Its your stinky retarded selfish shitty parents who failed you. You don't want to hate them, so you hate others instead.
That said inheritance tax should be significant (at least 10%) on sums above ~4m USD.
Logan Davis
But I have mixed my personal labor into all of the ventures that produced the profits for nothing other than the promise of being a beneficiary which was subsequently relinquished.
You can write however the fuck you want, but "could care less" is just retarded.
Austin Butler
Welcome to life as an accessory. You are not actually family member to a boomer, just a novelty that they tire of and feel no responsibility for.
The concept of generational wealth and helping your children be successful has been purged from our society by socialist faggots and jews, and of course boomers own intense greed.
I was lucky enough to see this truth when I was kicked out of the house at 16, so I never expected anything.
Samuel Lopez
Except the boomer is not fulfilling his promise in order to pursue his retarded boomer fantasy of living in a van like the degenerate flower child he always wanted to be.
Christopher Robinson
Ask your gay boomer dad for help buying a house. Point out that your spending habits had reflected his promise to you that you would inherit a living place, and now that he changed his mind (lol) you are in a worse position.
If he says no, then knock him unconscious, and bury him alive in his gay boomer van using a bobcat backhoe.
William Jackson
You can rent a bobcat for like $200 a day where I live.
Only costs maybe $200 to bury your gay boomer dad alive. $500 to pour some concrete and make a nice patio on top of him.
Tell him sorry you weren't going to kill him, but then you changed your mind.
Why do you feel entitled to the fruits of another man's labor? Are you some kind of socialist?
Xavier Gomez
What about boomer-murder-as-a-service? These old fucks do nothing but sit around wasting their cash they didn't do anything to get. Their dreams boiled down to sitting in a shitty boomer box mcmansion getting drunk and watching niggerball until they die.
I propose that we begin offing boomers on behalf of their children, for a reasonable fee.
Is there any functional difference between a gay boomer watching niggerball for one year then dying of a heart attack, and one sticking around for 10, yelling at the niggers then perishing?
We can make a new crypto to track boomer massacre on a distributed ledger.
Anthony Moore
Why don't you make a bullet point list of approx years and promises made at each milestone? Then show him the list, prefaced with the fact that you don't want anything but would like to know what's changed so much in his life for a man like himself to make you X amount of promises and if he ever intended to keep them
Angel Cox
I'm going to call it Dead Boomer Coin (DBMC). You buy dbmc with eth then pay for boomer hit on our platform using dbmc. Also offer other services like boomer kidnapping or simple maiming.
Lucas Jones
this has literally been how power and wealth has been transferred for millennia. I would mostly be dissapointed in my father for being such a cuck he doesn't want to establish a legacy
Jackson Morris
OP your dad sounds alot like mine. Im 28 and just met mine maybe 5 months ago. He pulled the exact same type of shit.
Luke Clark

Logan Lopez
oh and if you want some advice, just focus on yourself. If your website is getting views put ads on them.
Ayden Perez
then you sue for detrimental reliance. if in fact he did promise you those things and your work was to ensure that happened (that would be your "consideration" in the contract - doing something you're not legally obligated to do that has more than nominal value), you could prevent him from selling the properties or, in the alternative, request that you get the value of what you were set to receive (fair market value today or when sold - likely when sold because you'd just waste money on an expert witness for the latter).
Colton James
Based and redpilled. There's no reason to work in 2019. You'll just get cucked by everyone. The government, your employer, your boomer parents, the welfare class, liberals, cuckservative RINOs, the state, any institution for higher education. I can keep going on but I think I've made my point.
