On the contrary, we should normalize the concept of the greater family again. Having grandparents help with our young kids solves a lot of modern issues for a family where both parents work, and I will of course do everything to aid my elderly parents as they now age.
We built a house for them on our property in preparation for this. When the time comes (soon), they won't need to rely on shitty gov workers.
This would have been possible if boomers hadn’t decided to destroy human civilization instead.
I'm in Sweden. Human civilization is all good here.
Show off.
Please. It’s not about boomers as you can see that most people are not recycling, etc. etc. etc. and haven’t been since pretty much forever to this day.
Remember, please, that this is a war between the billionaires and the rest of us. Don’t let them win.
I hear you and agree, but the generational component to wealth disparity continues to worsen and is impossible to ignore.
Instead I would use this as evidence to focus messaging toward Millennials, Gen Z, and Alpha. We don't need to succumb to their "fuck you, got mine" mentality, but without drastic change we'll just keep making it worse for each subsequent generation.
Yep.
3 kids. They each and all want us.
Life isn't linear. One can't make 'plans', as this expertise keeps insisting. One may be aware of 'options', but one never knows until one is faced with it, irl.
You don't need a gazillion dollars in retirement savings, either. You won't be sailing on personal yachts meeting your friends for afternoon tea on Easter Island.
That happens after wealth redistribution.
Families gathered around their wealth, not each other.
