Caregiving is an act of love — but it can also come with an emotional, physical, and financial toll. In this heartfelt episode of Take Pride in Retirement, host Matt McClure shares his personal caregiving journey and dives into the unique challenges LGBTQ+ individuals face when supporting loved ones.
From reduced income and out-of-pocket expenses to the emotional weight of caring for chosen family, Matt unpacks how caregiving intersects with retirement planning. You’ll also hear about the financial tools available — including the Nationwide Peak 10 fixed indexed annuity — that can help protect your nest egg and provide a guaranteed income stream for life.
Whether you’re currently a caregiver or planning ahead, this episode offers practical guidance, emotional support, and a message of gratitude for the unsung heroes in our community.
