In this episode, Mark Zagurski shares a personal story about his grandmother to underscore the importance of planning for long-term care, which 70% of 65-year-olds will need. He outlines four options to manage these costs: paying out of pocket, long-term care insurance, hybrid policies combining life insurance or annuities, and deferred income annuities like QLACs. Mark explains how each option works, their benefits, and their trade-offs, emphasizing that Medicare doesn’t cover extended care and Medicaid has strict eligibility. He stresses the emotional and financial toll on families and the need for proactive planning.
You’ll learn:
The four main options for funding long-term care and their pros and cons.
Why long-term care insurance can preserve assets for heirs.
How hybrid policies offer flexibility for those hesitant to buy standalone coverage.
The role of deferred income annuities in covering care costs later in life.
The importance of planning to protect your family from the burden of caregiving.
“Long-term care doesn’t just affect an individual; it impacts their entire family.” - Mark Zagurski
