• Japan's old age care system works by the young looking after the old, I think. Every time you look after an old person, you get care tokens that you can use in your old age to get looked after.
    I think. This is a hazy memory of some editorial I read.

  • That's not a bad idea actually, saving while avoid all the issues with money saving and making it very specific on how to spend :)

  • It's a really good thing for society in general too - the young being more involved with the elderly makes for greater understanding of cross-generational issues - fucking Brexit, for example - as well as helping out with the devastating loneliness suffered by the old. And the young can benefit from the oldies' life experience too.
