My grandpa got duped into a reverse mortgage and then my grandma had to sell everything they had accumulated over the past 60 years to pay for less than a year of hospice.
She passed away last week and now there is literally nothing left.
And they were pretty well off. My grandfather was an aerospace engineer who worked on the Apollo project, so they were in the sweet spot to accumulate wealth in a non-bourgeois sense.

My grandparents will leave nothing to their kids, all of whom are well educated boomers so they're fine. My cousins and I are fucked.
