It's a completely foreign idea to me, too. Even if I did talk to my mother (I don't really like her, so I don't bother. She still gives me inexplicable Christmas gifts through my sister, which annoys me, but I haven't figured out a way of getting her to stop without being rude to my sister.), I wouldn't expect inheritance because she's very poor. I assume she still has a job as a social worker, but last time I checked was like ten years ago.
I think one of my fathers (my mother's ex-husband) is better off, but not significantly. I hear from him occasionally via e-mail and holiday card. The other one (my biological father) I haven't talked to since I was 13, so I have absolutely no idea what his situation is.
Anyway, my weird details are irrelevant. The point is: yes, I'm poor too, my family is poor, and the idea of inheritance is a thing that happens to other people.
