For
A. He is wasting all of the money his parents have saved their entire life.
B. He is wasting all of the money his parents have saved for their entire life.
1. I know A is right. Could you tell me whether B is right and natural?
2. If B is right, what are differences between A and B?
3. Why we do not need 'for' in the sentence A? In terms of meaning, I think there must be 'for' in front of 'their entire life?'
