[aarp.org] while many here are still young and this thought is pretty far from their minds, it's something that we all are going to have to think about as we grow older. I found this kind of interesting. It's basically an alternative to putting yourself into a retirement home. I think people without children need to explore non-traditional support systems as they age. Anyone else have any other ideas?

My dad's parents can't do a fucking thing by themselves other than grocery shopping. My dad has to schedule all their doctor's appointments and any house maintenance that needs doing. And they demand that they see only other Polish people for anything.
I am already doing this. Thank goodness for us boomers who upset the 1950's proper apple cart. Such as a legal document for tax & other marriage benefits or not while living in SIN. Woodstock generation passes the torch to the next. Legalize cannabis before I die & I will be 10-0 on winning my issues.
