Came a cross this post from a financial advisor friend regarding long term care.......
"Also, I have always wondered why the government should have to pay for someone’s long term care? I am not talking about the truly poor and needy as I think we have enough wealth to provide needed safety nets to that group of people. I am talking about people who have worked their entire lives and built up assets. Those assets are meant to be used to make your life better and if you leave money behind to your family that is an added bonus. We are not supposed to fleece the system because we refused to plan accordingly when we had the means and ability to do so just so we can leave our family behind a chunk of money. If you want to pay for your care and leave money behind to your family then this will require knowledge and planning."
I so agree!
