View submission: How to be independent when I'm old?

Having kids won't help when you're older. I've been estranged from my parents for a long time, most of my siblings are also estranged. My friend is a "personal assistant" for a 91yo woman, her children do not help in any capacity, from what I've heard in how she speaks to my friend I can understand why.

Try to make sure you're able to have secure housing, get all of your paperwork organized and keep it up to date, and invest in retirement.

I luckily own my home and I have a pension. I'm still nowhere near retirement, but just having a home, income, and healthcare will be a good start for me. I should probably start taking my lazy ass back to the gym though.
