I have been think about this also. I am about to turn 50 in six months, and probably will not have the opportunity to have children (I am not dating 20-30 year olds).

I see more of the population in the US going the way of Asian cultures (I am first generation Indian) where you have multi generational house holds being more common. It is going to be a painful cultural shift, especially for the highly individualistic American culture - but that is the only way I see future generations surviving.
