I’ll Create a Plan-Tomorrow!
Many of us are not natural planners. We often put off doing today- what tomorrow we wish we had done. We all do it! We often do better when we plan with the help of others. It could be a mentor, a parent, a teacher, an agent or advisor who educate us or inspire us to plan for our tomorrows. We are always so grateful when planning saves us from avoidable, unwanted consequences. We all have memories from childhood and hopefully not too many from adulthood, when we admonished ourselves for not planning. Longevity is reality. We certainly understand why we need a plan to deal with health care issues.….but what if our health is not as good as it once was. What’s the plan? What about lifestyle and safety needs? What about financial needs? What about generational relationships?What’s the plan? One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.— Henry Miller
Book Excerpt
How Not To Tear Your Family Apart
Longevity is a blessing that exacerbates and intensifies the need to plan for extended or long-term care—and we’re not just talking about health-care needs. There are also lifestyle needs. The need to age in a setting that allows for interaction with others to avoid depression or misplaced anger is well documented. Loneliness and isolation can be deadly, literally. There are also financial needs. Worrying about running out of money or being forced to move out of familiar surroundings is stressful. These issues ripple through a family’s financial stability and relationships. From a macroeconomic and cultural viewpoint, these shifts are impacting societal norms. According to the Pareto principle, 80 percent of the consequences stem from 20 percent of the causes. One family member, or one close friend, who looks to you for help with extended or long-term care needs can impact your life in ways you don’t anticipate. The COVID-19 pandemic was a nasty wake-up call for the entire world. It opened all of our eyes to the limitations of the government, the health-care system, and even families’ abilities to provide safe and adequate care when things go wrong at a local, state, national, or global level.
