When people picture the hardship of growing old, they picture the body. Joints that stop cooperating, hearing that thins, the loss of an independence that used to come without thinking about it. That decline is real, and it is what almost everyone braces for. Ask people who are actually old, though, and a different answer ... Read more Read more ›

Ask who owns IKEA and the honest answer is that almost nobody does, by design.
