Yeah, this free loading has been going on for a long time. Just depends if one wants to stick one's toe into the yellow river.
I saw a couple sell a large acreage, buildings and a home and then proceeded to hand all their money out to their kids who didn't need it. They proceeded to live in one of their daughter's basement, not a walkout, and hated it for the next 5 years. Then they went into low income housing, because they qualified... wink-wink, and he died within a short time from cancer. She lived into her nineties in that less than lovely situation. Neither one of them needed nursing home care that wasn't covered. But they sure shot a hole in what should have been some of the nicest years of their life. To each their own.
