Actually mouth breather, my wife's parents are extremely well off and with no siblings, she stands to inherit a small fortune. But I retired in my mid 30's on my own ability and hard work. I don't measure my success by how much fortune OTHERS may shower upon me, that's your game. Unlike you, I paid a ridiculous amount of taxes over the 20 years I was in the workforce. If my earlier statement doesn't apply to you and yours, well then, lucky you. But, plenty of the dolts that voted for increases in taxation in all of it's many forms, increased government spending and "necessarily skyrocketing" energy prices, won't be so lucky.
