[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I don’t have kids and this worries me for sure. But I did not want to spend twenty years of my life raising kids and pregnancy sounds terrifying to me. So I opted out. I am terrified for old age, but I did not think it was a good idea to have kids just do that reason.

That said, practically everyone I know just puts their parents in a nursing home anyway. How many people - well, white Americans anyway - do you know who live with their parents, or nearby enough and go by a few times a week? I don’t know anyone who does that.[/quote]

Ps. My the tentative plan is to move into assisted living and literally pay each of my seven nieces and nephews to come visit me once or twice a year to help prevent or spot elder abuse. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. [/quote]

I hate to say it but if they are also doing elder care for their own parents, this probably won’t happen.[/quote]

I have a net worth of fifteen million dollars, so they might.[/quote]

I don’t think you understand the burden of being sandwiched between caring for your own parents and caring for your own children.  If you’re going to disinherit some nieces and nephews because they don’t have the bandwidth to add another adult to their caregiving list, that says all we need to know about you.[/quote]
