The Economy and Long Term Care Planning
October 13, 2008 12:09 pm Long Term Care
Ok, these are uncomfortable times. The media and the economy have created a sense of withdrawal concerning spending. We all are trying to conserve our dollars and protect our assets and retirement plans. We worry that we may not have what we planned to have. So we think of ways to plan for these changes. Maybe we plan to spend less, or delay retirement, or keep the present car a little longer. But here is a question that we do not want to consider, but must: What would the consequences be to my family and my finances if one of us need care for an extended period of time? This is not about the risk of needing care; it is about the consequences.
You may never need Long Term Care, however; the consequences could be so financially and emotionally devastating to your family, that it must be considered. You need to have a plan. Most often Long Term Care Insurance is the least expensive way to finance that plan. A couple in their 50’s could pay as little as $2,000 per year to have a total benefit of $432,000 available for care. That would certainly be better than taking $432,000 from your income or assets.
