>Be my father 10 years ago
>Own two rental properties and a personal house and works full time job.
>Says "Son, when I pass away I'm leaving all of this to you"
>5 years ago - Sells all rental houses, lives in his personal house renting out the upstairs.
>Spends thousands to remodel the house, brand new kitchen/laundry appliances (he doesn't cook, just uses the microwave)
>2 years ago - retires, starts making beautiful pieces of art in his garage. Nearly 100 pieces of high quality hand painted art, hand framed. Self promotes and some end up in local galleries, coffee shops, and office buildings. I spend countless hours building and maintaining a website (he has no computer skills) to upload pics and display all of his paintings on a personal website for promotion.
>Says "Son, when I die, all of these paintings will be left to you" Cool, they'll be family heirlooms for many generations, thanks dad!
>2018 - Buys a van, spends thousands on luxury upgrades for long road-trips (hasn't gone anywhere yet).
>2019 - Says "I'm going to be taking all of the paintings to an auction house and getting what I can for them, then get rid of everything I own in the house (not going to rent a storage unit) and then sell the house and live in the van for my remaining years. The country is so beautiful, I just want to drive around until it's my time"

Anyone else dealing with shitty lying boomer parents?
Am I selfish to have expected at least a portion of what was promised to me or should I just accept that he now wants to exhaust every penny that he's ever earned on end-of-life hedonistic pleasure instead of leaving a nest egg to posterity like he promised?

Pic related kind of looks like him.
