The Double-Edged Sword of Longevity: Rethinking Aging and Financial Security
On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Michael Banner, host of the 62WhoKnew Podcast, about the double-edged sword of longer lifespans—and what it means for how we plan, spend, and protect our financial futures.
💡 Key Takeaways:
🔹 Long-term care insurance can be a game-changer.
🔹 Relying on your kids as caregivers? It’s not a fair—or realistic—plan.
🔹 Longevity is a gift—but it comes with financial consequences many overlook.
🔹 Every family should have an aging plan and a real conversation about care.
🔹 Today’s reverse mortgages are often misunderstood—here’s what’s changed.
🔹 Money is deeply emotional—it’s not just about dollars, it’s about protection and peace of mind.
