Conversations with Aging Parents - E55

Time is coming for us all, and according to one survey, 73% of adult children haven't had detailed conversations with their parents about their parents' finances. In fact, many of them don't know how to even start the discussion.   Today, on The Best Interest Podcast, Jesse explains a few ways to bring up this conversation, gather information, and details which topics you should discuss not just with your parents, but family at large.   Communication is a huge part of personal finance and all relationships, and the mixture of finance and family is a place where communication is paramount.   Jesse also reflects on the five regrets we commonly have at the end of life, and how David Foster Wallace thinks we should approach living a meaningful life.   Mentions: GOBankingRates Survey: https://www.gobankingrates.com/saving-money/family/americans-discuss-finances-aging-parents-survey/ Bronnie's List: https://bestinterest.blog/the-top-5-regrets-of-the-dying/ This is Water: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCbGM4mqEVw   More of The Best Interest: Check out the Best Interest Blog at bestinterest.blog Contact me at [email protected]   The Best Interest Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.
