Publisher's Synopsis
This tongue-in-cheek guide to spending the kids' inheritance, or SKI-ing, aims to expand the minds and shrink the nest eggs of millions of baby boomers. Arguing that SKI-ing innoculates children against the debilitating effects of affluenza -- making it the finest expression of love parents can offer -- the book provides parents with eclectic and amusing alternatives for how to blow their bank wad: baubles and bling, exotic travel, the family home, high-end automobiles, luxury yachts, to-die-for gadgets, and much more. Sidebar tips woven throughout the book highlight the many funny, fascinating, and frightening aspects of inheritance, estate planning, and unbridled indulgence.
