Retirement planning isn’t just about saving and investing. It also means thinking ahead about where you may live, what care you might need as you age, and how you’ll pay for it. In this episode of Marci Talks Money (and Life), I talk with Jake Sadler of Curio Wealth about long-term care planning and Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), also known as life plan communities. Jake explains how these communities work, how entrance fees and monthly costs can vary, and why the type of contract matters when your care needs change.
