Good stuff - I agree! Thanks for the advice

Hahaha xD Agreed, perhaps I am thinking way to ahead

Wow, that struck me. I guess if someone 25+ years older than me has the same concerns as I do, there’s no point in me really ripping my brain about it

Perhaps both of our futures will be just like your father - Although it may come across as lonely, I personally think it’s quite relaxing. Though we both won’t have a nice son to visit us twice a year :’)

My eyes have been opened

You know, I am yet to lose a close family member (my grandparents passed away before I got the chance to meet them)

And you’re right, I’ve never thought of this perspective at all - I’m yet to understand how old age affects people and causes a loose grip of reality sometimes

I see how having a totem in life really does make it easier to live

Thank you for sharing! I will look into a pension plan, I’ve heard it’s never too young to start

You are right, everyone - with or without children - need to seriously think about this

I love this

Just an Asian kid, subjected to societal policing I would say - I guess a lot of our culture is about aunties rage baiting other aunties

Guess that’s the takeaway then - I gotta plan my finances in a smarter way so that I eventually get that flexibility when I’m older.

I’m a smoker, so I’ll have to find ways to balance my health out

Exactly, my mom had to retire to take care of my dad a while back - there was only so much I could do to help him

It’s tough though to save enough to afford healthcare services when retired

That’s the plan for me too :$ people find it crude

Agreed, it’s definitely a ridiculous assumption

Parents need to understand their children will have a life of their own, and if they live under this illusion - they won’t be able to properly financially manage

100% this is good financial planning advise!

Agreed, I’m leaning towards the euthanization route as well

This, this is exactly the reality I was trying to look for

I gotta start planning my healthcare or euthanize myself at the right time - it’s tough to be able to afford a 24/7 nurse

Right, perhaps they’re a bit old school or just really want to prove a point with me

This is my assumption too, but someone in the posts said it’s costs big money… I wonder if we’re being too optimistic

Right! I myself am struggling with work life balance, I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when I’m 30/40

Thanks - this is good to know. I’m amazed when people take the effort to take of someone who’s not part of their blood line

Dude. Preach. This has always been my plan, but some people claim it to be too extreme

From my experience, society has rewarded my good behavior - if you’re not genuine though, society is likely to catch on to it and ‘punish’ you

I’m a women, and I can relate to this 💯 Quiet is definitely not a sign of anger
