That's exactly how I feel. My parents are pretty well-off as well and I told them the exact same thing. I don't really want to think about their cash. They should be enjoying it.
There will never be the same appreciation for money or wealth between kids who have worked for everything they have, and kids who have received everything. Sting is wise to require that his children are successful and satisfied by their own accomplishments.
