Thank you for the appreciation😍😘💖💞💕

I’m always surprised and a bit disgusted about how people react to an inheritance. Why should surviving family members think they are entitled to receive something? I suppose in older times an inheritance was a way out of poverty.

People had different values in those days.The very existence of the ruling classes revolved around inherited wealth and property passed on from one generation to the next.

What is wrong with these people? 😏😆 It had potential but apparently the author didn’t know it. 🙎🏻‍♀️ Ty just the same.
