[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents never needed financial support from me. This whole idea that kids need to support their parents is very foreign to me. I’ve heard it only about far flung places like Africa and India. I didn’t know this was a thing in the US. It certainly isn’t in Europe. It’s quite unheard of there, in fact.[/quote] Yes here in America, most middle class and up parents aim to not be a financial or health burden on their adult kids’ families. They pay off their house, they keep working, they save & invest, the turn on Medicare at late as possible, they have a long-term health insurance policy, the downsize homes, they exercise and eat healthily. They are not aiming to live in multi-generational homes for decades or collect $500/months from their adult sons, or move in with one of their adult kiss’s families. They are trying to stay healthy, independent and enjoy themselves a bit.[/quote]
