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.
WAKAAAANDAAAAA

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.
