203-Ideas to Help in Caring for Your Ol...

JOSHUA SHEATS
About this episode

Many of find ourselves in a situation where we are concerned about the financial well-being of our parents. Obviously, we'd like to help, if possible.

But, this is rarely easy. There are many, many challenges that can emerge. In essence, to truly answer these questions you'd not only have to have all of the skills of a financial planner, but also the background of a relationship counselor, a life coach, and more!

It ain't easy!

I created this show as an overview of ideas that may be able to help you get involved and to help your parents. Some of the ideas are technical financial suggestions, others are more practical and relationship-oriented.

The show is structured around:

  1. Ideas to help create a great life of good health.
  2. Ideas to help in case of the need for long-term care.
  3. Ideas to help plan your parents' estate to make the estate settlement process smoother.

I hope it's useful to you!
