How do you plan for old age if you are childless ?

Im in my late twenties and got married not too long ago. While my husband and I would love to have children, I can’t help thinking what if we end up not having any and then how do we plan for old age. In the asian society, children are thought to be like a ‘safety net’ for elderly parents but not in all cases esp for current gen. It also doesnt mean you need not plan for old age if you have children to fall back upon. So what are your thoughts or plans ?
