You’re forgetting that elder care will eat up that wealth.
What pays for the elder care without that wealth?
They get kicked out on the street. ‘Unconscionable’: Baby boomers are becoming homeless at a rate ‘not seen since the Great Depression’ — here’s what’s driving this terrible trend
The state subsidizes their nursing home. That article is false at least in my state.
They do that here in Australia too (probably better than the USA) but there are way more people seeking placement in aged care homes than there are beds available. Waiting times are in the years and so people end up on the street. Especially with the way rent and cost of living is these days. Government pension doesn’t pay enough to rent anywhere.
Even if the subsidise, they still have to find something open in their price range.
The highest population experiencing homelessness is boomers and more and more of the elderly are on the street now.
At least they can sell the house. /s, but not.
