Life-Centered Financial Planning aims to give you the means to thrive during every stage of your retirement. Early on, that hopefully includes seeing the world, enjoying your favorite sports and hobbies, and making incredible memories with your loved ones.

In later years of retirement, a larger share of your resources will shift to giving you the comfort and care you deserve. An unexpected diagnosis or accident can also accelerate the need to focus more of your money on health care expenses that Medicare plans don't cover.

This overview of long-term care will give you a clearer picture of how to prepare your financial plan to support you when you may need it the most.
