    Id just count my blessings that my parents can take care of themselves in retirement and beyond and not have to count on family to come in and take care of them, which is an unfortunate truth for a lot of families in the states.

    I dont expect shit, and it almost seems morally bankrupt to expect a generational handout. You get something or you dont, thats life.

      I agree with your point with the corollary that if they make that choice, they had better not come knocking on my door if they run into trouble.
