Can Your Retirement Survive Long-Term Care Costs?

Can your retirement survive the rising cost of long-term care? It may be one of the most important risks missing from your financial plan. In this episode, Catherine Magaña, Greg Carroll, and Vince Stefano welcome special guest Robert Sharon, a Certified Financial Planner and Accredited Estate Planner with decades of experience in insurance and long-term care planning. Robert breaks down why a long-term care event can put even a well-funded retirement under pressure—and why simply having significant assets doesn't mean you should ignore the risk. They discuss: The potentially significant cost of in-home care, assisted living, and memory care Whether it makes sense to self-insure for long-term care Traditional coverage vs. hybrid and life insurance strategies Protecting a spouse when one partner needs extended care Why you may only need to cover part of the risk The "forgotten risk" that could be hiding in your retirement plan Long-term care planning isn't about over-insuring—it's about understanding the risk and making sure your retirement strategy is prepared for the unexpected.
