Do you have a plan for healthcare costs down the line? Recent studies have shown that an estimated 47 percent of men age 65 or older will need some form of long-term care in their lifetime. Since women live longer, nearly 60 percent of women will need care. Do you have a plan for how those expenses will be covered? Or are you simply hoping for the best?
When you look at planning, especially from a tax perspective, things change. Just like in baseball, you change the way you pitch when you’re trying to keep control of the game.
