Agree totally with you. The system is all wrong at the minute.thats all well and good but assuming your kids couldn't afford it/do it themselves, surely he would still get a place in a home? if he's unable to look after himself someone would have to, he won't be made homeless in old age surely
personally i would enjoy your life now op, you could be hit by a bus tomorrow, i would like a house to leave my kids but the main reason i would like to own a house is the security it gives me in my old age if it's paid for i will always have a roof over my head. my hubbys grandparents had alot of wealth he died a good 10 years ago and she died last year there is nothing left as she was in a home for along time thats just how it goes sometimes- she was the one of 4 people in the home of around 30 who paid her own bill0
