Proverbs 13:22 seems to be the verse in question. It says, "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just."

I haven't noticed that second clause happening a lot in regards to this world, so I suspect that the whole verse may be primarily about something besides money. I think Snuffy is saying he wants to teach his family what is really important in life, and it's not money. I can attest to the fact that Snuffy is a generous man who tries to live out his faith, and will never forget the time he sent me money for a homeless couple he had never met.

I've noticed that kids that know they are gonna get a large trust fund at age 21 often don't turn out so well, but passing on things like a family farm or business is something I think most of us would like to do.

The sad thing is it's becoming increasingly hard to do it. It's likely that the only way my grandchildren inherit our farm is if my wife and I both die quickly. If we linger the way most do it will eventually be owned by the nursing home.

Ok, this thread has gotten too morbid, and a lot of it is my fault. How about this - I have paid a deposit for a combo duck and quail hunt in OK in December. I've never been on a good, legal, duck hunt, so I am gonna waste a bunch of money that my kids will not get to inherit. smile
