There was a time when your parents dreaded having “the talk” with you. If you’re like many baby boomers, the roles are now reversed and it’s you who is dreading “the talk.” This talk isn’t about the birds and the bees, though. Rather, it’s about your parent’s health, their ability to live independently, and how to pay for any care they may need.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a person turning 65 today has a 70 percent chance of needing some form of long-term care. On average, they will need that care for three years. Long-term care is often required when someone has trouble performing basic life functions, such as eating, bathing and getting dressed.

According to a study from NerdWallet, the average American household has more than $15,000 in credit card debt and more than $130,000 in total debt.1
While some forms of debt, such as mortgages and student loans, can be helpful, others, like credit cards, can threaten your financial stability. In retirement, debt can be especially dangerous. If you’re living on a limited, fixed income, you may not have room in your budget to make substantial debt payments. |
