Talk More Than Turkey Over Thanksgiving

Carve some time out this weekend to talk about those touchy money and estate planning issues that are just too important to ignore.

We are all getting older, there's no way to avoid it. Aging brings about a series of serious and important issues that must be addressed, though many choose to ignore them. A recent study reveals that fewer than 30 percent of adults have had a conversation about planning their long term care or aging needs with their family. If you're worried about having this conversation over turkey imagine having it when you need to figure out during a period of crisis. Having an open conversation with your family about your wishes and finances is a critical piece of your financial planning puzzle.
