Recycles dryer sheets
I hope this is the right place to post this question.
I'm wondering--what would happen to someone who literally ran out of money before they died?
I mean, if someone is in their 80s and penniless, would society really let them just die in their home? Does it depend on where you live and what kinds of social services are available there?
Does anybody actually know anybody who ran out of money after they retired because they didn't save enough?
This isn't meant as a stupid question, or a heartless one--just an honest one.
