[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Your kids won't be supporting me in old age. Mine will. They're my priority, other kids come last.[/quote]

Why are you planning in advance to be a burden to your children in your old age? How about working hard and saving and investing now so you can give your adult children the gift of not having to worry about you as you age?

Sure, bad things can happen and anyone can become dependent on their children, but I don’t understand why someone would deliberately plan in advance to be a burden to others. That seems irresponsible, a character trait we certainly don’t want our children to learn.

You invest in different ways.

One way is to fight for other people's children, and give your money to others, outside of your bloodline, and make them rich/er.

The other way to invest, is in your kids. Invest time and money in your kids, and help them grow better, while expecting their help in later years. Their help doesn't mean that they have to carry you on their shoulders. It can be, but not necessarily.

The problem with most of you people who fight for this equity issue, is that you didn't get the right care from your own families, and are trying to oblige society to take care of you. [/quote]

You can “invest” in your children by making sure they get a good education, while still doing the financial savings and investment you need to do to be self-supporting in your old age. It is irresponsible to spend all your money on your children with the expectation that you will be financially dependent on them when you are old.

Save and invest for retirement so you can take care of yourself and not be a burden. Give your children the gift of a good education so that they can be self- supporting adults who only need to take care of their children and not be worried about their financially dependent parents.

Be responsible and smart with your money so others will never be burdened with your care. Your children will love you and respect you in your old age because they will know that you gave them love and respect when they were growing up.
