In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Jennifer Pilcher, founder of Clear Guidance, a senior care consulting and management firm, about aging and talking to your family about the inevitable. While these can be awkward conversations, proactively creating an aging plan and how you plan to pay for care is an important part of financial planning and taking care of the next generation. In this episode, I share my personal experience and why you don’t want to put off this family money talk for too long.
