Article in news.com.au today.
We don't have children so kind of not an issue for us. However we do have family members adjacent, nephews/neices and whatnot.
Our personal idea is to continue to build wealth even in retirement, and that's an idea of self preservation financially. It's so that we do not end our lives totally destitute.
All being well, we will have sizable lump to leave to said nephews/nieces.
They have no idea and will be a pleasant surprise for them. That said, apart from occasional lip service, they don't give us the time of day.
So what do people think about this? Our feeling is that well, they are family so, happy to do so.
Equally we could blow the freaking lot. living large and trying to time our demise to the end of our funds. It does seem selfish to us, as the article says and it is at the cost of us and having some totally selfish enjoyment.
... and for a bit of context those kids are doing well for themselves.
