    Or instead of banking on money and wealth to save you, just spend your money now, eat healthy, exercise and take care of your body.

    It won’t matter if you’re 70 in an expensive care home and you don’t know your name. I have a few elderly wealthy relatives in my wife’s family who are in great care homes but have no clue where they are or who any one is.

    And I’ve seen my fair share of people getting old in my family. It isn’t pretty when you are constantly unwell and then your mind eventually falters and then fails.

    Better to enjoy what you have now regardless if you have kids or not because none of us are guaranteed a good healthy mentally stable old age.
