What are we doing to prepare better than our folks did?

First I want to say thank you to this sub. Dipping into this community has been better than therapy in some ways. With that, what are you doing to prepare better than your parents did for End of Life care? I am an only child so I have had to deal with my aging parents myself, but I also have a child who will likely be an “only” since we’re somewhat older new parents (early millennials, 80s born). I don’t want my kid to be burdened with our care as elders, and I mean that in all the ways (financial, emotional). My parents were good at saving, but awful at talking about reality and end of life.

I’m sure many of you can relate. So, what should we do differently? Is it arrogant to think we’ll be any different when we age?
