Many of my clients dislike the idea of being dependant on the state or on their own children for their care.
Also
"This used to be called children, but that was before every generation..."
Previous generations had larger families and most everyone lived close by.
Today's boomers usually have 2-3 kids and it's not uncommon for them to be more spread out.
Many of mine dislike the idea of being dependent on God. It is called the sin of pride.
