[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our family, people save for this eventuality and hope it doesn't happen. If it does, they have the money for it, and if it doesn't then that money goes to their kids. Same with deaths - my cemetery plot and headstone were paid for when I was a baby. My nephew and niece are 7 and 3 and theirs' are too. [/quote]

You are petty, petty, petty. People can work hard their whole lives and still not have enough money for "this eventuality," especially if they live long lives.

Fortunately, OP has plenty of people here to support her and not engage in your shaming.[/quote]

NP. My dad is in this position and it’s entirely his own doing. It often is. [/quote]

PP, yes, this can be the case. FWIW, the petty PP was making a blanket statement and I was responding directly to that.

It must be very hard to see a parent do this. What is his status now?[/quote]

Thank you for your post and I apologize if I misunderstood. We sibling and I were able to find a great low-income independent living facility. Low rent, so he pays for that…we cover other expenses. If he can’t care for himself he’ll have to go to a Medicaid facility. [/quote]
