Oh I don't think so Pb4uski, I really don't. I work with some of what Philly calls deep poverty, these folks have income 1/2 of the poverty line. so for a family of four they are living on about 12K a year. Philadelphia unfortunately has one of the largest deep poverty rates in the nation. anyway not one them expect their peers to help out. their reality is extremely closed or narrow. All their peers are also in poverty so there is no expectation for help from that quarter. most are in fractured families so the idea that they think their children will help is foreign.
To quote Philadbunance (one of the largest organizations to help out). the link is a school study I helped with back in 2013

Philadelphians in deep poverty live without running water or electricity or heat for long periods of time, according to Mariana Chilton, a nationally recognized expert on poverty at Drexel University’s School of Public Health.
“It forces them to live in toxic stress,” Chilton said. “There’s no break, no ability to bounce back. They’re dealing with social dysfunction, violence in the family, potential drug addiction, poor education.”
they generally have very little hope and definitely are not thinking a family member is going to help them out. Most of them are not thinking about retirement, not because they are living la vida loca but because getting to the end of the month with food is the primary focus.
lol, that is a luxury for the middle class, the conversations we have here are the equivalent of speaking Greek to them.
LOL. I apologize, I did my graduate work in the cycle of poverty in the African american communities. I have bored many a dinner conversation with the topic and my siblings have banned me from bringing up the topic at family gatherings.
