You've heard it before—70% of Americans over 65 will need long-term care.

While that number is technically true, it's also misleading.

Because here's what many people don't realize: the vast majority of retirees will never face a catastrophic, six-figure care event.

In fact, nearly two-thirds will spend ZERO out of pocket during their lifetime! 🤯

So how do you prepare responsibly without overpaying for protection you may never use?

In this episode, I walk you through a simple 5-step process to decide if you can safely "self-fund" your long-term care needs, while still protecting your retirement plan and peace of mind.

Americans lost a record $16 billion to scams in 2024—nearly 40% from investment fraud alone.

The trend is moving in the wrong direction.

In this episode, I share the story of a small-town financial advisor who built trust over decades, until that trust unraveled into one of the most devastating scams they'd ever seen.

More importantly, I break down 8 red flags that experts say could indicate you're being conned.

Because here's the truth: falling for a scam doesn't mean you're careless or foolish—it means you're human.

And understanding the psychology behind deception is the best way to protect yourself.

If you think you're immune, that confidence might be exactly what scammers are counting on.
