Shining the Light on the Golden Years ? Planning Ahead

- What plans have you made to prepare for your future in the golden years? We plan throughout our life ? college, graduation, marriage, family, career, etc. Why then would you not also make plans for retirement, your health care needs as you age, and end of life? Most people are under the assumption that when they get older Medicare will cover long term healthcare needs, when in fact it does not. So what plans do you have in place for your care? Planning for your wishes to be carried out at the end of life should also be part of your planning process. It can be very comforting and bring a feeling of peace knowing that this has been done, not to mention a relief to family members that would be faced with making your end of life decisions at a time when they are emotionally distressed. Make sure you have covered the bases for when you age. Don?t wait until you?re entering your golden years to make a plan, your plan should already be in place long before you need it.
