    Where I come from (Italy), a lot of old people pay for a live-in carer; as for assisted living, the person giving care can range from a fully qualified nurse (v. expensive) to a Ukranian middle aged housewife (less expensive, and less reliable too).
    I was wondering if this arrangement is available/common in the USA.

    Thanks,

    Is there a 22-year-old Ukrainian college student and part-time model option?

    Left unsaid is why we choose to have a society where even the relatively well off upper middle class can't afford quality end of life care for their parents. Everything from college education to routine medical expenses are expensive beyond their value and on top of that we are taxed at 50% minimum (you have to add up all the taxes, otherwise it's just dishonest), which is then largely wasted. We could have the personal wealth to provide for our own families if we haven't already collectively decided that wealth is bad and no one should be allowed to have means. And so we ship our kids and our old folks off to be cared for by the state. Well, as a wise man once said, "it's people!"

    I like your thinking, but you need to expand your horizonz. How about a 22-27yo Eastern European college student, part-time aspiring model? Think a younger Melania.

    Goddammit. Shitty truth, but truth it is.
    Sshhhhhh!! Keep quiet about this, or else you're going to discourage guys like Aubrey deGrey and David Sinclair. We gotta keep these guys working so the "getting old" part!!

    Sounds dramatic. Today you're 60+, let's talk(if we are lucky to still be here at that time) about it when you're 80+. I'm doubt you'll be that determined then. Unless you have some suicidal inclinations, or just a very mentally strong person.
