When is it not a good idea to buy LTC insurance?

from Preparing For Tomorrow podcast · host Diane Stoddart

This week, Diane shares some situations when LTC insurance may not be the answer for a family. It's clear that if Diane and her husband had listened to this advice 25 years ago, they would not own LTC insurance today, and they would not be approved by almost every company that offers these plans if they were looking for answers today. To be clear, this is not all or nothing. There are always circumstances that could alter these points. The important thing to know is that, when it IS appropriate to transfer some of your risk to insurance, do it as soon as you can to obtain the lowest total premiums paid and to potentially receive good health discounts. View current and projected costs of care at https://www.carescout.com/cost-of-care and please use the 4% or 5% inflation growth when viewing future costs. If we think LTC inflation will be lower than that, we're lying to ourselves. Then schedule a free, no obligation consult with Diane to learn how you can transfer some of your risk https://calendly.com/diane-p4t/30min
