An alternative strategy is to work with your family to ensure it's success. When the chips are down, having a mutual family support group is more important than money. Our family has been acting this way for generations and spreading that cultural idea may be a better message? Take a look at a typical Methodist family structure in the UK or USA and perhaps you'll be surprised by how effective it can be.

I agree with you in that one. I come from a very dis functional family while my wife comes from a family where people are mich closer with each other even though they are separated by oceans and continents. It is a much better life with a functioning amfamily. But unfortunately, not everyone has that and it does become rarer and rarer, partly because people don’t invest i family, partly for othe reasons.

US "best healthcare system in the world"... Well that made me laugh...

Health spend of 18-20% of GDP, health outcomes worse than anywhere in europe bar maybe Moldova. "Worst healthcare system in the OECD" would be a more accurate description...

I know. US healthcare is a joke. One of the worst systems in the world. High prices, poor outcomes.
