Ep 72: www.aplan2age.org is HERE!!!!!

11/27/2024

Folks, I'm excited, and I'll tell you why. For 15 plus years, and some of you guys have heard me talk about this, I've wanted something to make this aging journey easier. I tell people all the time it'll never be easy, but you can make it easier. My wife and I didn't do that. We didn't get ahead of it. We didn't do that 4 letter word called "PLAN". We fudged our way through for 14 years for all four parents, with two little kids- a sandwich generation classic.

So we started talking about this, and we've been talking about this with my business partner, Peter Ross, who's the Co-Founder and CEO of Senior Helpers, one of the largest in home care companies in the country. He and I started talking 9-10 months ago now, and we have created it and it's ready for public consumption- A Plan to Age. You can find it at www.aplan2age.org.

Ep 71: A Conversation with Todd Galde, Buying Residential Property, Later in Life,

We have a great guest today, Todd Golde, with Preferred Mortgage Partners, a broker in Northern California. Todd actually grew up in the business as his father began his career in mortgage banking in 1979, when Todd was just 10 years old. Around 2004, Todd took over his dad's business and he has been specializing in home financing ever since. While Todd serves the needs of anyone seeking residential home financing, for the past 10 years he's been helping seasoned homeowners finance their next move- with an emphasis on buying before selling. This enables homeowners to purchase their next home before having to sell their current one. Todd lives in Danville, CA, with his wife of 32 years, and there are three children, ages 24, 21 and 19. Welcome, Todd.

Todd Galde
I am Richard. Thank you so much for that warm introduction and I'm I'm truly honored to be here today. Thank. You.

Well, you're very welcome. So I'm going to start off with an obvious question, what is "buying before selling"?

Ep 70: Cost of Care

11/19/2024

Good morning, folks, today I want to have a conversation about that little tiny word cost, the “Cost of Care”, that we've talked about a lot, where are? Two days after a an election, and where are we in in reality? Care is expensive.

We talk about that all the time. It's not going to get any cheaper. As in-home care companies, and as community care companies have the cost of doing business, all the expenses they have (paying their caregivers, etcetera, etcetera), we're just going to see the cost going up. So whether you want to bring someone in to take care of an older loved one in their home, or whether that older loved one is going to move, based on need, to an assisted living or memory care, it's just going to get more expensive.

Obviously, and some of you may know this, if the Vice President had won, which she obviously did not, but she was talking about utilizing Medicare to help pay for the cost of care. So what does that mean?
