Die alone?

I think many people are afraid of functioning alone. I see guys my age who have been married three, four times. They couldn't fry an egg or clean a toilet to save their lives.

It makes sense. Married people are healthier than single people in general. https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/married-people-are-healthier-than-those-who-are-single-study/

Thank you for posting this. Having kids that will take care of you when you're old is not a retirement plan and not how our western culture works. Plus, it's presumptuous and more than likely not going to end up that way. Home healthcare is unbelievably taxing on relationships.
