We go up to the Lake District quite regularly to a holiday cottage, and we&#8217;re planning to go to Norfolk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The couple, who live in the Yorkshire Dales, go on holiday four or five times a year, spending hundreds of pounds each time because, in Sarah&#8217;s view, &#8220;you only have one opportunity at life&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">They did recently sell their vintage Sunbeam Alpine sports car. But only so they could replace it with a more modern, sporty two-seater convertible, a Mazda MX-5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;m of an age where I&#8217;m going to friends&#8217; and acquaintances&#8217; funerals, and I think you just need to live life and enjoy it while you can, because it&#8217;s a very precious commodity,&#8221; says Sarah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Sarah and Geoff are part of a global personal finance phenomenon that has been dubbed &#8220;skiing&#8221;, which stands for spending the kids&#8217; inheritance. It is challenging the notion that assets will get handed down to the next generation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">One in seven UK parents of children of all ages (15%) now plan to prioritise enjoying their money in their retirement over leaving an inheritance, according to a March report<span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">, <!-- -->external<\/span> by pension provider Standard Life. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And in the US, the number of people expecting to get an inheritance from their parents dropped to 20% last year, from 25% in 2024, according to a study<span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">, <!-- -->external<\/span> by financial services firm Northwestern Mutual. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
