No demana a ning\u00fa que el cuidi; vol cuidar-se ell mateix. Ha criat la seva pr\u00f2pia fam\u00edlia, els ha educat; els seus fills ara estan sols.

He doesn&#8217;t ask anyone to take care of him; he wants to take care of himself. He has raised his own family, educated them; his children are now on their own. He and his wife collect Social Security, which may be seventy-five dollars, a hundred, a hundred and twenty-five in the higher brackets, let&#8217;s say a hundred.
