[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, it takes incredible resolve to think “oh, I suddenly can’t remember why I walked into this room - I’d better go blow my brains out.”

It’s very easy to talk a big game about how you would never allow yourself to end up like that.[/quote]

[b]You're looking at boomers who have no idea because they didn't live it. [/b]Believe me the Caretakers/Gen X / Millennials are not so unprepared. But you can't expect people to put their failsafes and full plans on an internet forum. Just know they're there.

You are sorely ignorant on the history of elder care. FWIW, many "boomers" did indeed live it because they had their elderly parents IN THEIR OWN HOMES because full-time nursing care was prohibitively expensive. Most of their parents did not have the kind of insurance that covered it. Entire families pitched in and helped. [/quote]

Then they should know not to be a burden. But not many of them planned. [/quote]

presumably you are making plans so that you are not a burden when the time comes that you need care.[/quote]
