The country in general is going backwards in regards to taking care of the older generation..... Yeah, I get it about planning for the future... But for some people it just didn't go as planned. And then there is the flip side where people make smart and lucky ( luck can go a long ways) and poverty will never be in their cards as they age. Unfortunately it's a short conversation and to each his own.
Just remember everyone can end up in the same situation. Let's hope not but that's reality. Then your rare musclecar won't compare to having a warm bed. And if by chance this was a person of the services that just another level of where things are at....
