    Never really thought of this.
    I guess an option would be to look into a few good perspectives of adopting.
    And then, if I still don't like it, I'll donate my money to charity?

    Hmm... I have to think about this now :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I don't want kids so there are three possibilities.

    1) To my closest friends.

    If I don't have any (likely), then:

    2) To charity.

    If I'm really mad at the world, then:

    3) I'd like all of it to be spent in my funerary stuff, just so that no one gets it. Mwahahaha.

    I hope I die as poor as I can(im not saying I wont have tonnes of money, because I want to be rich an famous), money means nothing really, enough to live is all I need, it wont make me happy to have money I dont need...

    I will probably use it to pay for my brother's grandchildrens university tuitions

    I'd have it split amongst my siblings, my nieces and nephews, and perhaps some to charity.

    Assuming I have a fortune to leave, I'd leave a modest stipend for my niece, and then donate to a couple charities of my choice.

    I don't really want kids, but I have a younger sister who deserves it. If I'm still childless by the time I die, she can decide where it goes.

    I'd probably leave it to younger relatives, friends, or charity... that or I'll go on a totally amazing vacation once I'm old and retired and spend all my money on that. :lol:

    I don't have kids/family - and at this stage of my life I don't really forsee having a partner - but I do have two GodChildren. The youngest child of one of my closest friends and the only child of the other. So, basically, I decided to split the majority between all four of their kids - with the balance to charity.

    Mine goes to Markie as first choice. If he's not around it goes to my sister and her kids, and if they aren't around it goes to charity. It's all set out in my will.

    My Family first off.

    My Partner, my best friend?

    This made me think, you guys ever see that show Fact or Fiction?

    They had a story on there, about a lady who was at a church taking pictures for something, and she stumbled across someone's funeral. She didn't know the person, but no one was in attendance, and she felt sorry for the person, so she sat down and prayed for him. A few minutes later, the priest (or whatever u call that person) came up to her and said "Thank you for coming." And then proceeded to tell her about the guy, he was a rich person, with no living family (or did they hate him too.. can't remember), and everyone else hated him, due to being rich and snobby. In his will, he wrote that his fortune would be split between anyone who attended the funeral. The lady got all of his money and didn't even know the guy. And it ended up being one of the Fact stories :astonished:
