Just because you rich, that don’t make you classy
This story makes me want to cry.
Brooke Astor or not. No elderly person deserves to be treated this way. Maybe it’s the conservative old-school Asian in me, but I am horrified that Anthony Marshall does not respect his elders. I am completely disgusted by his treatment of his mother.
This just goes to show you that not even money can protect you from elder abuse. I don’t know about you, but saving for retirement is to provide for yourself so hopefully you can avoid a situation like this. And at the same time, no amount of money can save you from it when the people around you are snakes.
Choose your caretakers wisely. I’m sure if you talk to a good estate planning lawyer about living wills, trusts, etc, they can help reduce the likelihood of your being abused by those who are taking care of you.
