It is guaranteed to happen to anyone who continues to live, aging. If you speak to an older person for some time, eventually, they will tell you, “Don’t get old”. The problem with not getting old is that your only other option is to die, and we don’t want that at all. We want to live to see our great grand children marry and start their own family. We want to be the respected patriarch or matriarch that the younger ones can rely on to help guide them. All of that requires that we are living, and if we are living then we are aging. The issues related to aging include managing your healthcare, planning for and dealing with long-term care events, and the transfer of wealth by means of estate planning. With those things in mind, this blog will share ways to approach these sensitive topics with your loved ones and includes some ideas for planning and understanding your needs when it comes to aging.
