Neither of my parents have any kind of savings at all, they basically only ever made enough to get by. My mom gets a very meager stipend from being a teacher. They both retired this past year and are drawing social security. It's already really tight for them. I know when they get older I'm gonna have to sell their houses to make sure they have enough money to live on and the medical care they deserve. No idea where they will live at that point. Isn't America great? Work hard your whole life to struggle to make it when you're too old to work...
I live with my parent, Iv not had much luck in life job wise so I work min wage job and help my parents so they never end up in a home. Thankfully my girlfriend understand why I'm doing this so I don't have to stress about that.
I’m in the process of doing this for my teacher mother with dementia. It’s a fucking nightmare.
Will have to do the same in a couple of years. Both parents are retired but my dad got cancer about 10 years before his retirement, so he basically didn't have an income during that time. They are now unable to move since they are both too old, so it's going to be me and my brother handling that when the time comes.
