If I’m healthy, what planning should I do now?
If you’re healthy, you’re really blessed and for a healthy person, they have options available to them that people, after you get sick don’t have. And a healthy person that’s nearing retirement should seriously look at not just putting their legal documents in place, that of course is very important, but also look at the best way to leverage some of their money, some of their retirement savings or other savings, leverage those dollars in a way that they can get their biggest bang for their buck when it comes to paying for long term care should they need it. It’s not uncommon when clients can maybe take what I call lazy money; maybe it’s a $100,000 inside a CD and they can leverage that while they’re healthy so that if they need long term care ¬¬_____, they can leverage that $100,000 CD to pay for $400,000 or $500,000 of long term care coverage. But to get that sort of leverage and to get that sort of bank for them and it can be healthy when they put that in place.
