Then Medicare Medicaid forces you to sell all your property to pay for it so any children banking on still being able to live in/inherit the home goes out the window

You don't even need to wind up in a nursing home to have medicaid claw back your assets after you die; anyone over age 55 who's on medicaid & has received medical care is ripe for state liens on their property.

why should i underwrite my bank's interest rate gambling with my savings when i can stare directly into the reactor core and invest in the safest securities in the history of the world, the ones that are backed by the full faith and credit of the united states government. the only way i could possibly lose money on these short term U.S. government securities would be if the treasury defaulted on its obligations

yes that is the best place for money now

idk that’s got a really bad risk/reward ratio. if you’re desperately poor trying to steal stuff of value, cars, commercial buildings/warehouses and empty homes are way easier and lower risk targets.

Oh yeah, it utterly ruined my mom's finances, and the financial help I had to give her also set me back by miles during those 10+ years. People really underestimate what elder care is like if you aren't in a situation where you're dealing with two relatively healthy and active parents and instead dealing with someone who needs around-the-clock care for a decade or more.

I'm starting to notice way too many of my friends getting blindsided by this after years of "that won't happen to my parents"

I just don't know a way around it. I know it's coming, but what the hell can people do when they are barely getting by on the expenses now, let alone a new rent payment that's triple even major metro rent.

Sure but with the everyone but the rich getting crushed those houses are going to be pretty sparse.

I wouldn't be surprised to see groups of people ambush one of those guards for gear. I am surprised the homeless haven't done it yet because I think they are the most harmed by those guard's presence.

I went to care for my mom for the last few months of her life, and the cross-country moves + an xer sib who looted her estate left me homeless at age almost-60.

it took trump's second covid stimulus 6 years later till I was able to pay off the last of my debts accrued from those few months, and that was after drawing down most of my meager IRA to live on.

(so yeah, I get a lil tetchy about generational caricatures that don't match up with reality, especially when they come from people who self-ID as "leftists")

this is what my dad did, except for over a decade (as the grandmother in question had alzheimers and both had other health problems)

his siblings just sold the home out from under him a bit ago now that the grandparents are safely dead so he's homeless and driving across the country to visit people he knows now that what had basically been his life's work is over, afaik

nah you can get it appraised at whatever value you want. worst case if you still think it's too high have some black friends be there to greet the appraiser, that's an easy 30% off the value.

Paradoxish posted:

You need to pay anyway. My grandmother lived with my mom essentially until her death (the last 5-6 months were unavoidably spent in various rehab/nursing facilities) and there was no way to avoid having in-house care for 50-60 hours per week because she couldn't be alone, the alternative would have been a nursing home. Dealing with someone who had dementia also meant getting basically no sleep, which had some really horrific impacts on my mom's health and overall quality of life.

End of life care is extremely hard and extremely costly and not something that most families or individuals can manage on their own.

yeah do not ever do this, it's brutal and your reward is constant misery for everyone involved.

caring for my grandmother killed my mother, and losing both of them made my dad depressed to the point he ballooned up and had a stroke and lol now i have to care for him and it's going to kill me too. and the state still gets everything in the end because gently caress you that's why, lol.
