As a ‘young person’ studying ‘older persons’ I feel encouraged to react to this post.
I do worry about the above mentioned topics: the finances, the long-term care responsibilities etc.
But to be honest I am far more worried about the negative image of older age in society and the consequent refusal (or inability) of people to look for productive and positive options in their own and other’s future old age.
If only people would think a little more positively (and realistic) about individual and population ageing, far more creative solutions would be explored.
