Consider How You’ll Finance Your Long-Term Care:
What concerns you about your long-term financial future? Is it the longevity of Social Security and Medicare? Or maybe whether you’re saving enough money? One thing you probably should pay closer attention to is how you’re going to pay for long-term care.
According to a Barron’s article that Clark discussed on the Nov. 30 podcast, 80% of us will need some form of long-term care. Yet just 4% of us are paying for long-term care insurance. To be fair, long-term care policies can increase premiums over and over. So buying one of those policies too early can mean having to give it up before you even need it due to rising costs.
Here are some other potential solutions Clark suggests that you can consider:
Self-insure if you’re wealthy enough to do so.
Break Clark’s typical life insurance advice. Buy a whole life insurance policy with a tax-friendly rider for long-term care.
Contribute to an HSA and invest funds to pay for your health needs in retirement.
Use equity from a home you own to pay for long-term care.
