At this point in my life ... I've made some money, I own some property and I have not debt ... I make enough to survive but I don't think I'll be comfortable when I get older and judging from the looks of how society and our civilization is headed, I don't think I'll be very comfortable as I get older, not unless I can find a few million dollars right now. So I'm just planning on enjoying what I can for as long as possible on my own without going to a home or getting hospitalized ... then just sell off everything and survive as long as I can with a bit of help from others. Than if things go even further downhill from there and I can't take care of myself any more and I'm still in my right mind, I'd rather end it sooner on my own terms rather than make it last longer than I have to.
I'm not banking or hoping for any help down the road, especially as we get older and none of us should.
