The U.S. already has its own version of “Amah rules.” It’s called Social Security and Medicare, and it’s ultimately going to drain the resources of every taxpayer in the nation.
That was largesse for the previous generation. It could be said that “It’s dead already, Jim.” While the next generation is to be given the bill for it, they will get nothing out of the deal.
However, baby boomer wealth remains, as such, unless it is wiped out by inflation in which there are no investments to keep pace. With no other way for the children of many to support themselves, and more than adequate resources for their own retirements, many will conclude that such relationships are better than starving.
Baby boomers may even find solace that their own quality of life will remain by having young hands around to do the lifting, driving, cooking and maintenance.
