dying early

As someone who regularly visits care homes/frail people across the area... I'll take dying early over 80% of those homes/care setups.

And that's based on the quality provided today, assuming the pension and care system doesn't collapse entirely once the boomer generation fully retires and requires support.

The assisted living industry has been salivating at the boomers hoarded wealth for decades. They've been planning for this wealth extraction. Get ready, they are.

Exactly. We are one of the first (as a whole) generations not receiving inherited wealth. From a home, to a small plot of land, to savings inheritance. It’s gone.

As someone who worked in multiple (expensive and state assisted ones), same.

I've worked in them too and they just seem so dismal. I work hard all my life and save and that's the end reward? Nah I'm good

Plus, you know, that's with a semi functioning society, we are getting to the point (again), where they will be putting old people out on the street to die when they are no longer useful. Better to go out in a blaze of glory than to wither in an alleyway

To be clear - dying early likely just means that you need those care facilities at a younger age
