We are kicking off the New Year by discussing long-term care planning and how it should fit into your overall financial plan. But, when we say "long-term care," we are not talking about a policy you buy from an insurance agent or financial advisor to provide some financial relief should you ever need home-health or skilled nursing care.

Not that! This series uses the terms "long-term care" and "eldercare planning" interchangeably.

Long-term care planning could be for an aging parent, a spouse, or even a child with special needs. Someone who needs care, and this series will help you realize this planning is way more than just planning around money, finance, and funding.

Whether you've ever been in the position of playing caretaker for a loved one or friend or have never had to experience this unique situation, stick with us for this first of three episodes and consider sharing with a friend.

If you have any questions or feedback, please email us at ditchthesuits@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you!
