I'm an immigrant :).

Banking on your family dying - this is like saying "I am a worthless loser". I want old generation to live eternally, and still afford housing.

If the old generation cannot work for eternity, what would be your solution to a declining labor participation rate?
Rejuvenation and life-extending technologies to keep labor energetic forever.

Industrial and maintenance automation for needing less labor.

Relying on next generation to fund your retirement is ok if you live modestly; but not ok if you live luxuriously.

Working person should not be doing worse than a non-working person; otherwise you have an extractive economy and social instability.
