			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was driving to Portland this morning, and listening to NPR. There was an interview with a 50-year-old woman who was describing how her retirement fund was down 30%, and she wouldn&#8217;t be able to retire when she thought she was going to be able to.</p>
<p>That made me thing, might the lack of retirement funds drive retirees to living with their families? Might this crisis make separate parts of families merge? Instead of living in a summer home in Arizona, will retirees volunteer part time at their public library, and hang out with the grand kids after school?</p>
<p>I know not everyone has a good relationship with their parents, but I would love it if my parents lived with me. They&#8217;re smart, funny, and good company. They have solid genes, and should stay in good health for a long time. We can watch old movies and talk about current events, and we&#8217;ll all be happy.</p>
