Retirees fear becoming a burden

by Brent Hoskinson and Linda Drake December 7, 2021December 9, 2021
written by Brent Hoskinson and Linda Drake December 7, 2021December 9, 2021

Here’s something to think about: 72 percent of retirees say that one of their biggest fears is becoming a burden on their families, according to an Edward Jones/Age Wave study. Fortunately, there’s much you can do to avoid this fate.

For starters, contribute as much as you can afford to your health savings account, IRA, 401(k) and other retirement accounts. And devote a reasonable part of your portfolio to investments that offer growth potential.

Another suggestion: Prepare yourself for the possible costs of long-term care, which can be enormous. You may never need to enter a nursing home or use the services of a home health aide, but you won’t want to risk having your family assume these expenses. A financial professional can suggest an appropriate protection strategy.

Finally, make sure your estate plans include key documents, such as a financial power of attorney and a health care directive.

Taking these and other steps can help ease the worries of burdening your loved ones – and that’s a liberating feeling.
