You can not rely on your kids to support you. I would not be making plans as such.

Be nice to your kids, and hopefully they will give you room and board in case of emergency -- but I've tried to help my parents many time only to regret it.

I guess i should have mentioned that this relies on you actually having a good relationship with your kids.

So try to avoid beating them for fun...and you'll be fine.

I'm not talking about relying on your kids to pay your bills etc...but more of an extreme situation where you are just making sure you don't end up begging on the streets
