Never considered the who would support you in advanced age argument. But I live in the US and any children I have would end up as probably the poorest generation to ever exist in this country, so not them I suppose.

Like I said, I view the financial aspect of my responsibility. It's more like I'd be worried about not really being able to make my own decisions and not having someone there to help me out. Someone to help pick what retirement home or elder care facility I end up in. Someone to check on me and make sure those places aren't doing elder abuse. That sort of stuff.

I’d be worried about not really being able to make my own decisions and not having someone there to help me out.

I don't know about you, but I sure hope I'd be able to check out before that time comes for me. Before my mind and body becomes too feeble, I'd like to be able to just nope out.

I agree, but I also don't know if I'll have that opinion in the future...
