Of course we are all living longer and folk will have to save longer and harder if they want to enjoy a good retirement.It was no different really years ago only retirement meant one stopped work and very often did not last long afterwards. I always remember three men talking one was my father. 'We shall be sixty-five in seven years time and be able to draw the pension. Not one of them made it.

Re: RPresta
It is nice if parents can stay with children, my mother pleaded with me not to put her in a home. Some older people do not mind or say they do not. I am glad you liked the poem.

Re: Taps
I think your sons will look after you whatever happens. You leave the love that is worth
more than money.

Re: FS

Life can be a very chaotic journey. One never knows what to expect next.

Your poem is wonderful.
About the rest, I keep hoping I will go suddenly and while I'm still able to take care of myself, and that there will be something left to leave to my sons. But, I know whatever will be, will be.

I remember my mother being "evicted" from a convalescent hospital after the insurance funds ceased. But then, the level of care, though not low end at the time, was less than desirable. She was at home for the remainder of her time here. Oh, and a beautiful, beautiful poem.

No matter which country we're in, if we get old and disabled, then it's
gonna cost dearly for our upkeep, whether we sell off our worldly goods to cover it or let the taxpayers pick up the tab - and even in some high end facilities, the level of care and concern can be less than it ought to be. So, keeping my fingers crossed that none of us or our loved ones run into anything but the optimum level...
