w/e they choose to buy with it doesnt matter

So it's like "hey you get an extra million but you leave no genetic legacy and will spend all your wealth on your nursing home!" having no kids just seems super grim and pointless.

unless you choose to keep working and pay for a full time nanny

eh only if that matters to you bro

i never really got the whole "youre going to have a shitty life and die alone if you dont have kids" angle

you dont need to justify your choice of having kids by ripping on those who dont

I've seen a lot of people die alone full of regrets from working in a nursing home. Like if you don't want kids, absolutely please do not, but it will come at a cost.

the error is assuming that cost is true generally

regarding nursing homes, having kids will not keep you out of one. theyre full of old ppl who have families that dump there there

having a good retirement fund will do more than banking on your kids taking care of you when youre old.

maybe in other cultures like japan, but not here in america.

I guess we live in different Americas, because when our grandparents could no longer live on their own they moved in with us until they died, just like most other folks I know. Every old person I know who died (excluding sudden stuff like heart attacks, accidents etc.) and had children spent their final years/months in or near one of their children's homes. But I was part of the Baptist, and now the Anglican church so that probably effects what part of society I see.

I'm sure it would depend on how close the family is

Imagine, for a moment, what's going to happen to Lena Dunham's parents when they can't take care of themselves any longer

College is generally worth it.
¿University? Not unless you're a doctor, lawyer, or engineer.

lmao

JUST heard about that

so stupid

Ok. That makes me love America more because our government respects our right to blow crap up.

@DueyBear if its a tight nit church community like you said, then sure. But this is not "two different americas", but rather a simple fact that having kids in america does not ensure you will be taken care of by your kids, instead of being relegated to a nursing home. There are some communities where it is more likely that you will be taken care of, such as some latino and asian immigrant communities. Overall I argue that if you want to ensure you are taken care of in your old age, plan your retirement well.

not to mention that it is a large burden on your children to expect them to take care of you, especially if youre incontinent and senile. it just ends up being a waiting game til you die and they can move on.

I had a job managing my company's Salesforce a few years ago. Having used their software I can see why they wouldn't want to be paid based on their merit.

Best chance of survival is to not use alcohol

Use something else instead
