- 2:20week's conversation, let's actually take a look back at last week's class quiz question
- 2:23Leak. Get the question and the answer there as well. Yeah, so
- 2:28last week our topic, which is a common topic we discussed on the show
- 2:32about social security, had a lot of listeners with the question being true or
- 2:38false. According to Social Security, the age that you can collect one hundred
- 2:43percent of your earned Social Security benefit is your FRA, also known as your
- 2:47full retirement age. True or false. A lot of people called in,
- 2:52but only Bill of Portage was our winner, So we can only have one
- 2:54winner, So congratulations to him for correctly answering that question. So, if
- 3:00if you're wondering if you should collect your Social Security benefit earlier, or later
- 3:05or somewhere in between, listen to our show. Maybe we'll get some good
- 3:08information about that fantastic and very popular program. As you mentioned, we talk
- 3:13about social security regularly because there's a lot of questions about it. And if
- 3:16you missed any part of that program, or missed any part of today's show,
- 3:20you can always sad on over to Classfinancial dot com, listen back to
- 3:23the podcast, or even subscribe while you're there. That's Cossfinancial dot Com.
- 3:25That's k LaaS Financial dot Com. Phone lines are open right now to get
- 3:30on the air. Six oh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six
- 3:32oh eight three two one thirteen ten. So this week the conversation it's going
- 3:37to revolve around caring and paying for our aging parents and how this might affect
- 3:42your retirement, right CJ. Yeah, this really can have an impact on
- 3:46our listeners and their future portfolios and their retirement plans. So the key words
- 3:53here that we're going to focus on today are longevity and planning. So when
- 3:58you think of the future, obviously we hope to have a long, healthy
- 4:00retirement, but that can create complexity as it relates to making sure we don't
- 4:06run out of money. So we're just trying to do some some reality setting
- 4:11today giving you some statistics around kind of the aging population and how many people
- 4:15are caring for family members. So we're going to jump into that here today.
- 4:19So beginning with currently seventeen percent of people living in the United States,
- 4:24which is about one in six or fifty five point seven million, we're sixty
- 4:30five or older. In the year twenty twenty one, again, seventeen percent
- 4:32of the people living in the United States as of twenty twenty one, we're
- 4:35sixty five or older, and an analysis of US census data conducted by the
- 4:42Population Reference Bureau predicts that that number will rise to almost eighty one million by
- 4:47the year twenty forty. So if you've listened to the news and they say,
- 4:51you know, baby boomers are retiring and we have a lot of people
- 4:55over the age of sixty five, and you're going, what is this referencing,
- 4:58Well, here's some of that supporting data. Right, Almost seventeen percent
- 5:00of the population is sixty five and older, and they predict that to be
- 5:04to go from fifty five million to eighty one million by the year twenty forty.
- 5:09The reason that's the problem, by the way, is because if you
- 5:10have too many people out of the workforce and too many people pulling from social
- 5:13security, it creates a problem. But as the massive baby Boomer generation ages
- 5:18and life expectancy in this country increases, so does the prevalance of chronic medical
- 5:24conditions like Alzheimer's and the need for long term care to support that person.
- 5:30With elder care services being very costly and long term care insurance premiums being expensive,
- 5:36countless seniors and their relatives prefer to keep the task of caregiving in their
- 5:42family. Of course, so you know, people say, well, how
- 5:46many people are caregiving? Well? According to a study by MetLife that looked
- 5:49at the economic impact of care for seniors, the number of adults taking care
- 5:55of aging parents has tripled in the past fifteen years, and a full twenty
- 6:00five percent of grown children are helping their parents by providing either personal care or
- 6:05financial assistance. Yes, I did say twenty five percent of grown adults are
- 6:13helping their parents by either providing personal care or financial assistance. Talking about so
- 6:19go ahead, run guys, just to say. Talking with CJ. Class
- 6:23and Lei Quavis, our retirement planning professionals from Class Financial film lines are open
- 6:27six eight three two one thirteen ten. The website class financial dot com.
- 6:30That's class klaas financial dot com and they're telephone number six eight four four two
- 6:34five six three seven. Sorry about that, CJ. Let's uh, let's
- 6:38get back into that, into that conversation about the caregivers. Yeah, no
- 6:41worries. Yeah, So you know, the question is who who are these
- 6:44caregivers? Exactly? And so eighty nine percent of caregivers in the US provide
- 6:48care for a relative or loved ones such as a spouse with and and the
- 6:54average caregiver is fIF about fifty years old. Uh. And with longevity,
- 7:00we're also seeing the effects that many of our clients who are in their fifties
- 7:03and sixties care for their parents, either financially or physically. And these,
- 7:10you know, those parents could be in their seventies, eighties, and nineties.
- 7:13So we are we're seeing and experiencing a role reversal. Right. You
- 7:16think of this like, oh, my parents raised me, and when I
- 7:19couldn't take care of myself, they took care of me. Well, when
- 7:23you're in your fifties and sixties, it's quite common now twenty five percent of
- 7:27the population as a matter of fact, is either physically or financially caring for
- 7:31their parents who might be in their seventies, eighties, and nineties. So
- 7:35while caring for your parents is certainly an important and compassionate thing to do,
- 7:40we want to highlight some realities associated with this, especially as you're working on
- 7:45your own retirement planning, because truth be told, as a retirement planning firm,
- 7:49our average client is sixty seven years old. So yes, our average
- 7:55client is sixty seven years old. That means that we have people who are
- 7:58bridging both sides of this gap. Right. We have clients who are in
- 8:01their fifties and sixties who are retiring or planning to retire themselves, and then
- 8:07we have clients who are in their seventies, eighties, and nineties who are
- 8:09receiving care, sometimes from their grown children. So we just need to talk
- 8:15about the realities of this. Number one reality is stress. First, recognize
- 8:20that caring for an aging parent is often a stressful, undertaking and time consuming.
- 8:26It can take a huge emotional toll on everyone in a family, but
- 8:31for women, the financial impact can hit especially hard. So long term care.
- 8:37For the long term care impact for caregivers is that the realities that most
- 8:41informal caregivers are female. As a matter of fact, it is seventy five
- 8:46percent of the time. So when we talk about there's a financial impact on
- 8:52a say, a grown child in their fifties and so ver sixties taking care
- 8:54of a family member, it is often one of your daughters who is caring
- 8:58for you, and that daughter who's in their fifties and sixties, it has
- 9:03a financial impact. And as a result of being the primary caregiver, that
- 9:07financial impact can be huge and oftentimes women lose value valuable time outside the workforce,
- 9:13which causes them to have fewer contributions to pensions and social security and retirement
- 9:18savings, vehicles, so on and so forth. Now, the cost in
- 9:22terms of hours and dollars spent, there's actually been some research on this.
- 9:26As of twenty eighteen, it was estimated that adult children who provide care to
- 9:31their parents devote an average of one hundred hours per month, which again can
- 9:35take a toll on both the finances and the health of that caregiver. And
- 9:39as baby boomers move into their eighties and the caregiver burden is likely becoming a
- 9:46bigger concern to the children, so There's been some studies done on the estimated
- 9:50financial cost of these uncompensated you know, children will call it, and lost
- 9:56wages, soci security benefits and pension benefits for care caregivers on average total about
- 10:01three trillion dollars across the American population. But if you break that out to
- 10:07you know, per adult child who is caregiving for a loved one, it's
- 10:11about three hundred and four thousand dollars of lost wages between socialecurity, pension income,
- 10:16four one K contributions, things like that. Now, we're not trying
- 10:20to scare you here, that's not the intent. It's rather just to kind
- 10:22of snap you into reality to say that's true, isn't it if I'm in
- 10:26my fifties and sixties and having to go from full time down to part time
- 10:31because I need to care for mom or dad, which is a loving thing
- 10:33to do. By the way, this is we don't suggest you don't do
- 10:37it. I want you to care for your parents. You just have to
- 10:41recognize that that is taking dollars off the table from your own future retirement,
- 10:46and it's certainly something you want to work through with your financial planner. Pretty
- 10:50eye opening data on information that is for sure. As we talk about those
- 10:54numbers and some of those statistics, we're going to talk about developing an action
- 10:56plan and some of the things you want to consider when it comes to helping
- 11:01your parents, especially before you reach this point. Really important about planning,

- 12:24seven. Talking this week about caring and paying for aging parents and as we
- 12:30as I know, one of the big things and uh we talk about a
- 12:33lot of the show is planning, and an important part of that is planning.
- 12:37Same holds true here. I would assume as adult children, there are
- 12:41things we can do to help our help our parents ahead a ahead of time,
- 12:43aren't there? Yeah, there certainly is, and you know, timeans
- 12:48everything. We try to have relevant topics on our show at relevant times,
- 12:54and this certainly is a relevant relevant time of the year when we're moving into
- 12:58the holiday season and you might have an opportunity to spend some extra time with
- 13:03your family members such as your parents. So you know, I think what
- 13:07CJ has outlined for you, as you know, and again as planners,
- 13:11we want to face the reality that this will be an interruption, and again
- 13:18you should face the interruption, but it truly is an interruption to your life,
- 13:22your family's life, and financially could be a burden. So that's why
- 13:26we'd like you to take advantage of opportunities and that you have when you see
- 13:31your parents. And so really the first step is, honestly, just start
- 13:37the discussion. And that's where people are all like, well, I don't
- 13:39want to bring it up, and it's like no, no, no,
- 13:41this is a reality. It's kind of like death. Unfortunately, it's a
- 13:43reality. So start talking with you to your parents while they're healthy, especially
- 13:50while they're cognitively healthy. This is very, very important. And so if
- 13:54you can do that while they're healthy, having discussions on their future, that
- 14:00will help you provide for them in the way they want to be provided for.
- 14:03And we would also say please include discussions with your siblings if you have
- 14:09them, so that everyone is on the same page. And as adult children
- 14:11grow up, they're not necessarily always friends, but when it comes to their
- 14:16parents, hopefully they're able to bring people together within the family to do what
- 14:22mom and dad want. So we'd like you to sit down with your parents,
- 14:24honestly and review their health and medical support needs, like what kind of
- 14:28medications are you currently on? Are you seeing the doctor? Believe it or
- 14:33not, a lot of people never go to the doctor, and maybe they
- 14:35should be. And you know, we're not going to jump into estate planning
- 14:39today, but make sure that they have some of those things figured out with
- 14:43regards to medical power of attorney and that that's discussed in their estate planning documents,
- 14:52hopefully with a will as well, and make sure you gather their important
- 14:56health and medical contacts. You know, where the closest hospital is. Now,
- 15:01when we're talking about this, we're kind of talking about geographical you know,
- 15:07we're talking about a region and you're living kind of near your parents maybe
- 15:11and you're stopping by, but honestly, many people live very far away from
- 15:16their kids. I mean, my kids live on four corners basically of this
- 15:18country. So thinking that there's always someone nearby is not necessarily the case.
- 15:24So that's why you're going to need to understand what the healthcare systems are near
- 15:28your parents, talk about their latest checkup and review any chronic conditions. Now,
- 15:33I realize people are prideful and they're like, I can take care of
- 15:37myself. I'm okay, and honestly, you know, so this goes for
- 15:41both sides of you listening. Some of you have parents that you need to
- 15:46eventually care for, and then you will be that person at some point as
- 15:50well. So swallow this and say, hmm, I want to I want
- 15:54to reach out to my adult children and be a little different when it comes
- 15:58to explaining to them my options. Discuss options for living arrangements. Now,
- 16:04many people want to remain in their own home, which is perfectly fine,
- 16:07but as they need extra help, you would want to find out from your
- 16:11parents what would make them most comfortable. Maybe there's some remodeling that needs to
- 16:15happen in their current home. And you know, alongside of that is who's
- 16:21going to finance that? So hence that could be an impact on your finances.
- 16:26And my last part on this particular section is, and this is for
- 16:29everyone to just you know, hear it and feel it is. Discuss when
- 16:33it's appropriate to hand over the keys and stop driving, having that conversation with
- 16:38your parents. Trust me, that's going to be a tough one. But
- 16:41when they have when your kids have that conversation with you, even tougher.
- 16:45So just swallow that seed of knowledge right now because at some point you personally
- 16:52might be able to drive, but you might be causing you know, potential
- 16:56accidents for other people, So that you got to keep that in mind.
- 17:00Talking this morning with Midlia Quavis and CJ. Closs, our retirement planning professionals
- 17:03from Class Financial. If you've got a question at time to get you on
- 17:06the air six oh eight three two one thirteen ten to forget you can learn
- 17:08more about Class Financial on their website class financial dot com that's Klaasfinancial dot com
- 17:15and their telephone number six oh eight four four two five six three seven.
- 17:18No charge for that initial gets to know you appointment deck Class Financially. It
- 17:21will be complimentary to you again their number six oh eight four four two five
- 17:25six three seven, And use that term prideful. When it came to health
- 17:29and malia, finances are another one of those areas where it can be sometimes
- 17:33difficult for parents to disclose that type of information. It certainly has been although
- 17:40Shawn's parents are going to be different stories and go straight to them and review
- 17:44it with them. I'm sure, absolutely, but it is tough. We
- 17:48do see clients in their seventies, eighties, and believe it, even into
- 17:52their nineties who are like, I'm not telling my kids what I have,
- 17:55or I'm not going to tell and that's when things are good, or I'm
- 17:57not going to discuss my money troubles to my grown kids in their fifties or
- 18:02sixties. If you don't have any knowledge of where your parents are at and
- 18:07suddenly they need some care, guess what it's all going to be on you
- 18:11and your siblings to figure out how to adjust for that. And so as
- 18:15much information as you're willing or you're willing to give to your adult children or
- 18:21vice versa, is only going to help everyone to come up with a financial
- 18:25plan. So I recently interacted with a extended family member whose adult children suggested
- 18:33to him to get a reverse mortgage, which wasn't necessarily the right choice.
- 18:37Nobody asked me about that, And you know, it depends on the situation.
- 18:41But we're really looking at best case scenarios for you as you age,
- 18:48and so if your parents are a homeowner, you know you should go over
- 18:52any outstanding mortgages or debt, or if there's no debt, are they thinking
- 18:56about a reverse mortgage or something else. It's just good to have your hands
- 19:03on what's in their minds so that you can come up with some appropriate planning
- 19:07associated with that. So again, when you're discussing aging plans with your parents,
- 19:12make sure to get their thoughts on how they would like their finances handled
- 19:18if they're no longer able to make those decisions. Now this gets really touchy.
- 19:22Today. I'm clear minded, I can make my own decisions, but
- 19:26unfortunately, we're seeing more and more incidences of some cognitive issues and they can
- 19:33happen very quickly. So just having that person in mind in the family that's
- 19:38able to say, mom, dad, I would help you pay your bills
- 19:41every month or whatever could actually give them a good feeling that they's someone to
- 19:47support them. You're going to want to know where their financial accounts are open
- 19:52and contact information for their financial advisors. We spend a lot of time with
- 19:56our clients making sure that they hopefully can disseminate this information simply to their own
- 20:03adult children. And you're gonna want to want to understand are your parents is
- 20:07their income derived from Social Security which we assume, plus a pension, plus
- 20:12outside investments, And then you're gonna also want to review their insurance plans.
- 20:18Do they actually have long term care insurance set up? Will that eventually pay
- 20:22out to help with their care or do they have nothing? So you just
- 20:27need to have that baseline of where are my parents currently and if something should
- 20:33happen, how are we going to react to that and hopefully abide by their
- 20:37wishes. Talking this morning with Malia Quavis and CJ. Closs, our retirement
- 20:40planning professionals from Class Financial the website Cossfinancial dot com. That's k l aas

- 20:48seven, no charge for that initial get to know you appointment tech COLSS Financial
- 20:52eight. We will be complimentary to you again the number six oh eight four
- 20:55four two five six three seven. So, Malia, once we get all
- 20:59this information and have these conversations, it's time to take action, isn't it
- 21:03right? And really we're saying create a caregiving plan and it's an informal caregiving
- 21:07plan. Okay, Again, this is between you, your parents and your
- 21:11siblings, mom and dad or mom? You know what would we do if
- 21:15this situation happened? What would they want you to do? Where do they
- 21:18want to live? Do they want to stay in the same community? Do
- 21:22they eventually want to move closer to their children? Now I'll tell you most
- 21:25of my clients when I say so your kids all live in North Carolina where
- 21:30the weather's really nice? Are you thinking? And they're like, no,
- 21:33I have no interest in living with my kids. So you know, it's
- 21:36kind of interesting. But eventually push comes to shove. Someone's going to have
- 21:41to react if you're going to get the kind of care you want from your
- 21:45children. And finally, review their estate planning. Like I mentioned, make
- 21:48sure they have they've done, They've done at least a basic will power of
- 21:52attorney documents and so that if they haven't, you can help get that accomplished
- 21:57before something could happen to them. A lot of vital information this morning,
- 22:02important conversations to be had in plans to be made. Don't forget as we

- 23:26the number six oh eight four four two five six three seven talking about caring
- 23:32for our aging parents and unfortunately there's not not everybody is a great person,
- 23:37and there are things that we need to do to protect ourselves but also protect
- 23:41older parents from people trying to take advantage of them. What are some of
- 23:44the things that you can be doing and some things to talk about with your
- 23:48with your parents when it comes to this area. Yeah, this is really
- 23:52important. You actually have some of this going on in my own family right
- 23:56now with some some declines in health and just trying to step up and help
- 24:03family members with care as they move forward along with the whole car keys as
- 24:07Milia was talking about. But then we get into then we get into scams.
- 24:11So here's some thoughts. Number One, don't let your parents fall for
- 24:15these scams. If possible, your parents are trying to boost their nest egg,
- 24:19they may be tempted into making investments that promage promise huge returns but are
- 24:25in reality scams, so just be watching out for that with your parents.
- 24:29Again, declining mental health may also affect their ability to make wise decisions,
- 24:33which is often why scammers will actually target aging individuals. Keep track of where
- 24:41and how your parents are spending their money, so if possible, just kind
- 24:44of get access to their bank accounts and once a month or so log in
- 24:47to take a look at what's going on with their cash flow and be on
- 24:51the lookout for any major transactions that they're doing. Just again, that could
- 24:55be a signal of some somebody in their life scamming them. I'll be frank
- 24:59with you quite off and it's actually family members. We're not going to talk
- 25:03a lot about this. It's an unfortunate reality. But sometimes it's one of
- 25:07the children or one of the grandchildren that have fallen on hard times and they
- 25:11know that grammar or Grandpa care for them and they're declining, and so sometimes
- 25:15it can be a family member taking advantage of an aging grandparent and then consult
- 25:22with your parents together with their financial planner to understand their reality and what may
- 25:26be coming in the future. So we do this quite often where we have
- 25:30the children of our aging parents come in and they'll just sit in for a
- 25:33review, and they might ask a question or two throughout, just to understand
- 25:36what it is that we're talking about. But often it's just I just want
- 25:38to know where things are and what's happening and who to go to. And
- 25:42often that what we hear from those from those adult children is, hey,
- 25:48I just have a better sense of what's going on now, and I know
- 25:52where to go if anything, if anything happens, or anything goes wrong.
- 25:56And then finally, in all of this, make sure you care for yourself.
- 26:00When adult children provide care for aging parents, research has found that their
- 26:06own health suffers. So people who are family caregivers are more likely to suffer
- 26:11from depression, stress, heart disease, alcohol abuse, and other forms of
- 26:15problems in your life. So so yes, be watching out for your parents,
- 26:19watch out for scammers, watch out for problems that could be going on
- 26:26in your parents' cash flow. But also, in the midst of all of
- 26:29this, make sure you are aware are aware of your own mental health in
- 26:32the midst of all of this, and hopefully you know Hopefully this has given
- 26:37you some good tips to watch out for. Kind of reminds me of last
- 26:38point of way. You know, most of us kind of tune out those
- 26:41pre flight instructions on the on the on the plane, but they point out
- 26:45make sure if you're in a situation, mask your mask on first, and
- 26:48then assist others. Same thing as if is if you're if you're not in
- 26:51a good position, it makes you very difficult. It makes it very difficult
- 26:53for you to help others around you, including of course the people that matter
- 26:57most to you, your parents and your family, so really important stuff.
