I read an article recently about Warren Buffett and all the money he's leaving to Bill Gates. Buffett said something about how his kids will not be left so much that they'll never have to work. He didn't go into why, but I know it's something about how work builds "character" or whatever.
And then I remember several years ago hearing on the radio that Melanie Griffith was talking about why she was working so much, and she said it was to have enough money that her kids would never have to work. Which most likely means that her kids will turn out to be very Paris Hilton-like.
What about you? If you're ever wealthy, would you leave your kids enough money that they could be complete goof-offs the rest of their lives and still be comfortable? Or are you one of those who thinks work builds "character" or whatever?
Me personally? Well I don't like kids and have no interest in ever having any, so this question doesn't apply to me. But as to which I'd want to happen to me if my parents were filthy rich, I realize I'm extremely shallow and superficial. As long as I was having a good time, I'd have no interest in working, or doing anything for that matter. Give me a PS2 and a computer and I don't care if I ever see another human being again.![]()
