Not where I work. It's fun lol. Everyone who works there is awesome and the people we ring were customers in the past, so they don't have any issues talking to us.

As for inheritance - I don't plan on or expect that I'll be receiving anything from any member of my family. I'm not close enough to my extended family, and my immediate family is poor. So no death money for me!

Meh. Don't care much anyway lol.

That's the irony of life. Your parents/grandparents work hard so their children/grandchildren can have a better life. After they have made it you enjoy a more privilegedr life: bmw vs an old hyundai; private school vs public school; overseas holidays vs working at maccas etc etc. Then if you are dumb your money quickly get used up in all those indulgences of life: a porche, overseas holidays, .. you're not good enough to find a good enough job to support the lifesyle you have grown accustomed to.

Of course not every rich kid ends up this way.

If you need someone to manage your finances when you get to 18, pm me. If you are unwise you'd blow your $400k+ in no time flat. But I believe your folks are money-smart - so you will be well-guided provided you are not dumb and think you know better.

Credentials in Money Management: - I've made so many expensive mistakes over the years!
