[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like a lot of millennials refuse to do the math. When I was small, my grandma was in her 50s. People complaining about lack of help when “my parents’ parents helped them”: how old are your parents? My guess is, substantially older than their parents were when you were born. It’s nobody’s fault. It’s just a societal change. Complaining won’t help. [/quote] For some people, sure, but the average age of a first time grandparent is 50. I grew up living near a retirement community; all of my family members had jobs catering to residents in the community. People even in their 60's are still often in great shape. Nearing 70 and into the 70's is where things start to diverge. Most people are slower, but still fairly healthy whereas others are affected more significantly, it seems.[/quote]
