250 sats \ 7 replies \ @Aardvark 7 Jul \ on: What plan do you have for when you are old? AskSN

Let me flip that question. Why are people with children planning on being a burden to their children in their old age? Having kids isn't a guarantee of having a caretaker when your older. As somone who doesn't have children, and isn't going to, I'm doing what everyone SHOULD be doing who has kids. I'm planning my future responsibly.

This is the answer. Don’t plan to place that burden on your children. Plan accordingly

Meaning if you have the funds you can buy care?

Yes? That's literally everyone though. Have money, or rely on government money. Your children aren't going to administer medical care as you die. It has nothing to do with children.

Your children will treat you exactly the same way you treated them when they were kids and depending on you...

Not always. I wouldn't have children with any expectations.
