"How will you afford to spend your final years of life? How much will your death cost you and your family? Can you afford it?"
We've had this talk with both my parents and my wife's parents. All four of them insisted they do not want to be a burden to us and we should never allow them to move in with us. Most of our parents took care of at least one terminal person in their life and experiencing that changed their opinions radically. It can be an almost impossible burden, no matter how much you love someone.
Thankfully in our country we have both the law and basic insurance that takes care of all those costs in the last (terminal) phase of our lives, but you still have to design your testament and other documents in such a way that your money cannot be claimed for these costs.
When the time comes, i want to be put in the Euthenasia Coaster ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_Coaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthanasia_Coaster ) , but if they have not built that yet i might settle for the $20 heroin overdose.
