Episode 451- Financial Caregiving, Family Conversations, and Planning Ahead with Beth Pinsker05 Nov 202500:52:08

In this episode of Journey to Launch, I'm joined by Beth Pinsker, financial planning columnist for MarketWatch, Certified Financial Planner, and author of My Mother's Money: A Guide to Financial Caregiving. Beth shares her personal and professional insights on what it really takes to manage a loved one's finances and why preparing now can save you (and your family) heartache, time, and money later.

We talk about the realities of caregiving from setting up power of attorney and health care proxy forms, to navigating long-term care insurance and estate planning. Beth's own journey caring for her mom opened her eyes to how unprepared most of us are for this role and inspired her to create the guidebook she wishes she'd had.

  • How to proactively start financial caregiving conversations with your parents or adult children even when it feels uncomfortable
  • The real cost of caregiving (and how to plan for it before it derails your financial goals)
