from Long-Term Care Insurance Now · host Scott A. Olson

In this episode, long-term care expert Scott A. Olson highlights how inflation acts as a silent killer for retirement plans. This is particularly true when choosing how to fund your long-term care. He shares a real-world example of a client who nearly chose a life insurance policy with a chronic illness rider with flat benefits over a traditional policy whose benefits would double by her 80s due to a 3% compound inflation rider. Ultimately, he outlines five non-negotiable features to look for in a hybrid policy, including a 7702B rider and robust compound inflation protection.Buy my book on Amazon: https://zurl.co/6YK23Listen to the podcast: https://zurl.co/dtGSKWatch our YouTube channel: https://zurl.co/0DvqQVisit our website to learn more: https://zurl.co/8BxY3Scott A.
