There are 2 lessons to be learnt from this article... For elders- Do earn enough to save something for yourself till the end of yor life. For younger generation - Remember a time will come when you would also be in this league.

As time changes, society changes, life style changes but your blood relation does not - this is not an emotional statement but a thought every one should have.
