This is because they're retired so while they don't necessarily have a tight budget, it is a fixed income. So there won't be any "I put you through school and now you make X amount of money."
I know they worked on it for a really long time.  They seem happy with it, so I'm happy with it. None of that stuff is "mine" anyway - my dad already gave me a lot of things that were my mom's that hold more sentimental value than her life insurance payout. :P That was for him. |
Makes sense!
Pre-nups; separate accounts; and separate investments all protect oneself or family/kids (for those who have family/kids to protect). Protection is protection regardless of who is being protected and where the resources are coming from. That's what Centaur1963 was saying.
