Ever watch HGTV? A good percentage of younger couples in the market for a new home are buying so their dog/dogs have a nice yard....no kids, of course. Do they think those dogs are going to take care of them in their old age?
ObamaCare Death Panelists will take care of that.
Re your post #2, have you considered the possibility that one could save and invest enough money to have no need for someone to take care of you in your old age?
I’ve never understood that plan to use your offspring to care for you. It’s using them for your own selfish good.
That always makes me shudder when they say”oh,the dogs will love this”.
I have a big back yard and the dog spends most of the time in his bed or taking the over the lounge chair when I get up.
So much for the big back yard that he loves.
yup that’s why i had kids, so they could take care of me when i was old. yuppers.
