Power and influence, setting up your kids for that life, your grandkids for that life, or they just enjoy it.

The kids blow the wealth more often than not and the grandkids spend every last dime of what the kids couldn't.

(That's ignoring the fact that people who grow up 'set for life' tend to be truly terrible human beings)

well if i were in that situation, the way i would see it is "i did my part; my grandkids got money and i showed them how to use it." if they blow it all on cars and drugs, that's on them
