And now this... higher education is obviously wasted on them when they are without the intelligence to understand the riches already bequeathed to them. How sad. I'd be ashamed to approach my parents with such a thought had the same predicament come to my attention.

I recently learned from my grandparents that when I was younger they gave my parents several thousand pounds intended to be the start of long-term savings for myself.
My parents have never mentioned the money to me. I'm now 19 and studying at university, so need all funds available.
My parents have in the past battled with debts, which is where I think the money has gone. Although they are now financially more secure, they still have a mortgage and other financial commitments.
Should I bring it up with them, or ask my grandparents to? Or should I just accept that I must write this money off?"

Did you ever get the potato your granddad left for you on his deathbed?
