What about when we get old, really old and dying?

I've swallowed the redpill, but being Asian and still talking to my parents, who are great people, I still have some resignation about taking the red pill totally.
What about when we get really really old? Im talking 70 or more or when we have to depend on someone else for even basic function?
The idea of marriage and having a family is partly so that you will have someone taking care of you when you are older. Having family exponentially expand your societal/familial ties (you know the in-laws) and thus keep you less lonely and miserable in your dying days.
Or maybe even in your healthy days, there will be times when shit happen and you are bed-ridden and can't move a limb. Your friends can only be so supportive. Having a wife who will take care of you not just out of love but also out of duty is surely a boon?
has anyone given this some thoughts?

Having a family doesn't have to happen at 25, 30, 35 or even 40.
If you have Game + Money you will never NOT have someone to tend to you when you're 70yo.
There's plenty of men (the ones who have their shit together) who get married in their 50's to younger women, have some kids and retire just fine.
What your family is doing, is trying to scare you into settling down younger with the fear of being 70yo and being alone.
Read closely: I'll bet you're in your early to mid 20's. You are not guaranteed tomorrow, much less 50 years from now.
Live your life and don't be sold a bill of goods.

Bad wife (plenty of them out there) can make your life much much worse, then she leaves you and takes your money. Then you are alone again, emotionally damaged and broke.

Totally the opposite.
If you marry at 25, and have kids at 30. When your kids are 20, they'll leave you and start their lives. By 50 you'll be alone. At 70, you'll rarely (if ever) see them.
If you marry at 50, and have kids at 55. When your kids are 20, you'll be 75. You'll probably don't want them around any more. But by 50, you'll have someone to be with.
Think about it.

That's why you get on TRT at 35 and look 40 when you're 70.

A friend of mine just wifed up his girlfriend. Hes late 70s shes 24. I know of multiple scenarios similar to this in poorer countries. The men are not rich heck to be honest in Canada they are lower class - lower middle class at best.
Quit worrying about when your 70. My pops had kids at 50+. I know of a few people who have had kids in their 60s.
The only reason I see of as to why to have kids at a younger age say 30 or under is so that you'll be more "active." But lets be real in First world societies by the time your kid is 18 they'll likely be so far away in thinking and interests from you. This is something I see differently in Cuba. I know fathers and sons who regularly go out together.
If you are doing it right you should be enjoying life all the way through. As you get older the key is to have your finances in control + some freedom to travel. If you do that, the world is yours.

Participating in health care in the real world I get the advantage of perspective on how people most commonly end up dependent or otherwise take a hit in being unbound in regards to activity. All those PSAs about heart attacks and diabetes are true. Stop eating like shit, drink water to at least an 80/20 ratio to everything else, moderate alcohol and exercise damn it.
You absolutely can be one of those old bulls in their 60's still holding good muscles mass and tone by just moderating toxins and regular exercise. You don't want to be one of those people stuck in a dialysis regiment because their kidneys calcified over or simply failed from drinking Jamison and redbull like it's going out of style. Diabetes can get you while you're young. Sleep regularly and eat right.
All that said... many messed up conditions can still claim you and everything we do in actions is still just prevention. Live you life. I've seen a few people die before and it didn't make me realize that I should be a fatalist. Hell no. It made me realize that I need to look up and the sky, howl in a night club, go 60 over the speed limit, chill in the park, read good books love my nephews, taste a woman while I can.
Care for your body and circumstances for the purpose of extending the good conditions that you are living under at the present time.
I'm not afraid to die or feel melancholic about the subject anyway. When I get the first signs of dementia or a condition that will disable me, I'm driving a fast car off a bridge or a high jump. It seems like an amazing way to go to me.

It's a very tempting picture, the family, as an answer to the question, "What is the purpose of me bieng here? What can I do to feel real? To have being?"
The family is not to much different than a mirage in a desert. Doesn't mean one shouldn't do it, I may do it myself one day, but I know it's not the answer. Those who make it the answer, and expect it to be the answer, suffer terriblly I think.

Build wealth that's the best way to ensure your taken care of in old age. Keep in contact with your friends to ensure you won't be lonely with no one to talk to when you get old.

Amen, brother!
However at 35 you can still do well without TRT (for me it is Crossfit + zone diet + medtation). I am close to 38 and still doing well however I am ready to jump on it as soon as I have any warning signs.
