[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this thread offended some people by shifting to what the current elderly have done wrong.

I think in light of OP's original question, I have been downsizing even though my kids are young teens. I needed an emergency overnight stay at a hospital to realize I wasn't going to live forever and thankfully everything resolved, but I was lying in the hospital bed partially stressed about what would happen if something happened to me. I'd be leaving a large amount of STUFF for DH and my kids to deal with.

So since then I've been working to be ready for the next time.[/quote]

I am one of the people offended by the talk about what old people have done wrong, and yes - that's exctly it.

I love hearing what people are choosing to do themselves, because they want to do it.

As the kid of silent generation parents, now in their 80s, it makes my blood boil when people talk about people that age, and even younger, as if they are monsters for daring to still be alive.[/quote]
