its all a fucking myth, MANY old people have tons of kids, yet they are home all alone and their kids have gone off.. who told you that your kids will take care of you???

thats why you should save up enough money so when you are old you have cash..... that whole yeah let me have kids so they can take care of me is all BS.. once they grow and have their own lives, you will be wiping your own shit, or it will be wiped in a nursing home.. either way your son isnt gonna wipe your shit and clean your diapers
in theory sure but despite your rich man dreams, most single guys who have never married and never have kids live in shitty broke ass apartments and when something goes wrong, no one is there and no one cares. my girlfriends uncle is one of these. he had a stroke, can't talk, can't walk. is stuck in government care and will probably be there till he dies. of course, this shouldn't be a reason to get married and pro-create but its scary to get old.
