How west treat elderly people vs east or indians

[kakatiya]

What is basic cultural difference?

 

In west i see that people have aocial security benefits etc and live happily ,once they are sick thry move to nursing homes..and they still get benefits before they die.

 

Eastern world like india..some get pension..some save money till last minute.. my great grand father had 5 lakhs bank balance even before the day he died..never asked any one money, despite writing will for 4 children..

 

But some are not lucky..they are forced to live in old agr homes that do not have benifits..they have todo some chores and no nurses willbe at care.. some have enough love left from grand kids and kids..who take care of them...but end of day people who considering elder people as burden or bhoj is increasing

West lo pillala education meeda spend cheyyaru. Instead they save for retirement. Even then chala mandi are poor at retirement savings. Social Security check saripodu. Dubaara expenses chala chestharu. 

 

East lo most of the parents will spend every penny on children with lots of personal sacrifices. Anduvalla konthamandidaggara savings undavu.
