Longevity planning isn't just about making sure you don't outlive your money. It's about planning for the full reality of a longer life — including the possibility that you'll one day become a caregiver. Or need one.
I encourage you to check out a powerful episode of the Chatter That Matters podcast featuring Amy Coupal, CEO of the Ontario Caregiver Organization. The episode is called "Suddenly, A Caregiver," and that word 'suddenly' says it all.
Most people don't plan to become caregivers. It happens after a fall, a diagnosis, a phone call that changes everything. And when it does, the financial, emotional, and professional impact can be staggering.
Amy's message is clear: identify yourself as a caregiver, seek support early, and don't wait for the emergency to start the conversation. The same is true for the financial side. The best time to plan for caregiving, whether giving it or receiving it, is long before you need to.
If you'd like to talk about how caregiving might factor into your own financial plan, I'm always here for that conversation.
