Jeff Goldblum Is Going Way Too Far

Jeff Goldblum has joined the growing list of celebrities who have announced that they won’t just throw money at their kids - and they expect them to learn to support and fend for themselves. There's some wisdom to this, but this can be taken to an extreme. I think he's going way too far.

All I can say is that my wife and I knew pretty early that neither one of us were going to inherit much of anything, so it was a great motivator knowing that if we wanted a good investable income & lifestyle and a comfortable retirement it was going to have to come from our own hard work, and many years later that worked out very well for us.

Goldblum's not saying he's leaving nothing to his kids - he's saying he wants to find the balance that will make them richer without sapping them of all drive and sense of personal responsibility. You are also correct, though: raising non-spoiled, driven, responsible kids has to come before the money, not with it. I think Goldblum's perspective is as a wealthy 71-yo man with two little kids whose teenage years he may never live to see, which is a perspective most of us do not have. So I am going to cut him some slack here. Absolutely do not spoil your kids. But leaving them nothing, _in addition to leaving them without you,_ is almost certainly handicapping them, not helping them. I say this, no lie, as a private wealth, estate and trust attorney who has lost both of his parents since 2022 and now is in the middle of selling his childhood home (in New Hampshire in fact. No, I am not making this up.) Burying a parent, and administering their estate, are massive, depressing pains in the ass. Show me someone who not leaving money to the people who have to do that, and I will show you someone who never did it himself. Since the 20th century, when extended families stopped living together in the same house or neighborhood, the death process has become a lot heavier because so much more of it falls on just a few people. I'm quite lucky to have had excellent parents and a close relationship with my little sister, and an attorney in the area I trust, because even as someone who does this stuff professionally, I could not have done this situation on my own. And yes, Mom and Dad left us something - which we'd both happily throw in the fire to bring them back for ten more years. If you die with any kind of money, _someone_ is going to get that money. You probably want it to be your family (by one means or another) even if you don't love your family all that much. Because the real practical alternative "beneficiaries" are lawyers, 501(c)(3) executives, and the government. Sudden wealth causes problems, but nothing like the problems sudden loss causes. Remember the law of Unintended Consequences; as Tom Sowell says, there are no solutions - only tradeoffs.

[@flarnnetwork2952]

This makes me feel so glad that I grew up poor. I learned the value of money and hard work. I learned to live on a lot less than other people feel they need and be happy. As a result, totally debt free and I'm in a position to help my parents and teach my kids the importance to living with in your means and staying out of debt. My kids WILL get an inheritance some day, but when they do, I know I will have raised them well enough that they will be able to handle wealth properly.

What’s wrong with what Jeff Goldblum said? Think of the vast numbers of people who never receive an inheritance just because there is none. It’s not a setback which requires being corrected. Goldblum is requiring his kid to not rely on his wealth, but to learn about real life and make their own way. I disagree with any premise which suggests that rich kids deserve to know they have money they didn’t earn coming to them. I think Jeff is spot on. And he’ll probably leave them something anyway. He just doesn’t have any obligation to tell them.

My immigrant parents never gave me a red cent, even when I was struggling. On TOP of that, I was 19, working a FT job and commuting 30 miles each way to college holding down 13 units, and they still charged me $150/mo. rent to live at home. That was in the early 90's. Needless to say, I had a tough decision to make to drop out of school because it was way too big a load. By their "tough love/good intentions", they caused more damage because I never finished my degree. They could have helped me a little bit. I never asked for much. I had to buy my own school clothes and supplies by age 14 (9th grade). Sometimes that type of mentality actually hurts the child more than it helps. And they were diehard anti-Communism because they'd escaped the Iron Curtain. So it has little to do with left-wing thinking. They despised liberalism.

My dad did fairly well with this strategy considering he worked for the state. And when he passed 5 years ago, he left all the money to my mom. Now she's waffling about what to do with the money. Now I find myself annoyed. I busted my tail and was "responsible" and now the plan has changed?!? And all of us kids turned out fairly successful... and this is what we get?

As they grew we taught them to evaluate the charity for how many cents per dollar actually goes to helping the cause. We raised two fine philanthropic children. Must one be wealthy to do this? Heavens no. It is a philosophy of doing good with the dollars one has.

I think this is good. The best way to do it is say you're getting nothing but then in the end still give them your money. Kids get spoiled and sometimes they have to rough it before they can appreciate money.

You gotta realizetheir idea of "making in you own"is WAAAAY different then ours. Those kids will still inherit tremendous wealth, property , investments art, etc, he's just not giving them the Malibu house and 50K a month allowance like this peers do.

[@hannibalhobbes4289]

Being able to allow for your children to have the safety of being financially secure is the best gift someone can give. That doesn’t mean letting them sit at home for decades and pampering them. Make them pave their own way in life, but give them the best tools to do. Provide the equipment, don’t make them have to formulate the concrete and build the machines themselves (using the pavement/road analogy).

I love it! Dont leave them chit. They will be so strong in life!!!

[@tedberwick3186]

An inheritance is good thing.

[@Carrera6rennsport]

There was a time I thought my parents were loaded and i'd be living on easy street. My parents left me and two siblings nothing. They were self-made millonaires when a million bucks meant something. Im pleased to say it was the best thing they did for us. We're all self-made and living a happy life with everything we'll ever need/want. call it the right gene pool, i call it "school of hard knocks"

Selfishness .. uh .... uh ... finds a way.

Gordon Ramsey is doing the same he’s not leaving anything for his kids

[@user-jy2vd2em6v]

@@CW-bw7pv if I’m not mistaken I think he is gonna leave it to his wife.

[@elleniasiello6271]

Yea, Jeff you give it to someone that never new or loved you . Way to go lefty !!!!!!!!

[@ka9202]

He didn't explicitly say he wasn't leaving them anything though.

[@GiaBlinks]

My guess is that he leaves it all to his wife, she's only 40 years old, and possibly family members. But, the kids will eventually get some if she manages it well. He's probably hoping that his kids don't grow up like the crazy youths in L.A. Realistically, he's only got about 15-20 years left to live. His wife and kids are very young.

[@Fantasyremix]

If you aren’t going to leave money to your kids because you don’t want them to live life on easy mode, then you should be spending it on your family while you’re here on trips and things like this can can enrich them without spoiling them. Don’t give it all to strangers after you’re done.

Jeff Goldblum is a grandpa daddy. All middle-age(40+) men(biological) who have kids(naturally or artificially) are grandpa daddies.
