My Grandfather in Germany was adamant about blowing every penny before he died. His philosophy was he wanted to be around to see people enjoy it.

My Grandmother was the exact opposite. She squeaked although in later years she did loosen up.

My mom, she'd give you her last penny.

My Uncle, my mom's brother was filthy stinking rich on his own. He was a prominent dentist that also owned dental labs. Once tried to charge his own mother for dentures till my grandfather "had a conversation" with him. Told both my cousins that he was responsible for them till they turned 18 and that he expected their bags to be packed and them gone. None of us know if my Uncle is still alive. He talked/talks to no one.

You get all kinds within a family.
