Create a Financial Plan

Create a Financial Plan – Wrap Up

During the Create a Financial Plan lesson, you discovered the importance of a Financial Dashboard and learned the benefits of working with a Fee-Only Financial Planner.
You have the know-how you need to make choices about how you will deal with long-term care costs by relying on private pay, long-term care insurance, public assistance, or a combination of them all. You learned how to minimize the burden on others by assembling a Resource Team including a geriatric care manager, financial planner, bill-pay service, accountant, property manager, and others, and by creating a password management system and prepaying final expenses.
In the last topic in this lesson, find professional resources that can help you implement the financial portion of your LifePlan.
