Good essay. I'd like to point out, historically in many parts of the world the "age problem" was solved by having three generations living in one house, whereas today, frequently the elderly live separately or in a nursing home. I feel the generation immediately above me, i.e. my parents and their siblings, encourage me to keep a good job, find a career, save up, buy stocks and property, and "work my way up". It's my grandparents who is telling me I should forget about all these things and do what I really want to do.
