Re: Aging. I wonder what pay- it- forward possibilities we can come up with, to somehow share the work and necessary efforts , and have some peace of mind that there will be support for us , also , when we grow older , and need it . 

Often I wonder if anyone has yet created good templates for aging individuals to share homes and resources for care . I know it's far more complex than wishful thinking would let on. Still , I wonder what's possible : 

"Somewhere at the heart of all this, aging in the US, is the kind of individualism that sometimes is thought of as “rugged” but which usually resolves itself as stupid and cruel. All of us need care and company, at whatever stage of life: that we may be in need of quite a lot more towards the end of our life should not mark our old age as a stage of life with a dread set of requirements all its own.
