[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Food, medicine, heat for parents is too much of an inconvenience? This is hardly establishing an extravagant lifestyle. I understand not throwing money into a deteriorating house (although assisting with basic housing expenses is another issue). How is it that we have become a society that feels no obligation to our elderly relatives?[/quote] I think since elderly chose to be independent. Families used to live all together or close to each other, as a community. In Eastern cultures elders live in the family. In Western culture they want to be independently - live on their own, often miles away from the other family members, keep their own house, drive their own car, etc. So the assumption is - if you're independent, you should be able to pay for yourself financially, because other people should not be financing your lifestyle. If you just want food and shelter - move in with other relatives.[/quote]
