By now, many have heard of the Silver Tsunami—the wave of baby boomers who currently or will shortly need some form of long-term care. This is a reality to the vast majority of retirees—now or in the future—will face. Unfortunately, most have not planned for it—either overlooking it or not being informed on the best choices for their situation. Make no mistake: long-term care planning is part of your retirement planning, whether you actively plan for it or not.

Modern advances in long-term care options have largely done away with the “use-it-or-lose-it” type of coverage that gives so many retirees understandable consternation. Further, the choice to “self-insure”—even for those that truly can afford it—is no longer good math with newer planning options. In this episode, we explore these modern approaches and give real-world case studies to demonstrate the advantages of modern long-term care planning.

When creating a retirement strategy, remember the acronym P.L.A.N.

Predictability - value predictability over potential

Low-correlation - strive include strategies and asset classes that do not require the market to perform in order for you to succeed

Alignment - ensure that each component of you strategy reinforces and compliments the others rather than (unknowingly) creating friction

Net-income - choosing tax-free/efficient strategies in place of tax-deferred/hostile strategies can be the difference between a retirement of plenty and one of scarcity

Also, follow along in our case study where we demonstrate P.L.A.N. in action and create 5 streams of tax-free income while increasing potential net-spendable income by 59%.

Why does 90% of wealth disappear by the 3rd generation? What causes 70% of wealth transfer from one generation to the next to fail? For those that create multi-generational wealth and maintain family harmony, what principles and practices do they adhere to? The answer is a shocking as it is simple. In this episode, we discuss what research and high net-worth advisors all observe amongst the wealthiest and their successes and failures in maintaining the family wealth. We also lay out a blueprint anyone can follow to foster multi-generational wealth.
