Long Term Care
Long Term Care
Americans today are living longer.
According to the Social Security Administration, men and women who reach age 65 live to age 84 and 86.5, respectively. Also, approximately one in three 65-year-olds will live past age 90, and one in seven will live past age 95. That means for 14.2% of those 65 or older, retirement years will make up a third of their lifetime.
As we live longer, we need to alter our financial planning accordingly to ensure that we don’t outlive our retirement savings. One of the most significant factors in that equation is our ability to live independently. According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, approximately 70% of Americans turning 65 can expect to use some form of long-term care during their lifetime.
To prepare financially for the possibility that you will be part of that 70%, you should understand your long-term care (LTC) insurance options and how it can help your retirement strategy.
