How to keep our parents from ruining our plans

from Preparing For Tomorrow podcast · host Diane Stoddart

We all want to wait as long as we can to buy LTC insurance. Too often, health concerns diminish or eliminate what can be offered. In this week's episode, Diane shares consequences that show up when our parent's health and care needs interfere with our ability to plan well. If we implement and start paying the premiums earlier, we can fully fund our policies before mom or dad needs our money and/or our time because they had failed to prepare for their own care needs. If we could completely fund our plan before mom or dad asks for $2000/$4000/$6000 every month for their care, then we know we'll be prepared for our tomorrow and won't need to do the same to our kids, or friends or relatives. When we wait, our parents' negligence or denial of their own needs can prevent us from being financially secure when our own long term care is needed.
