Bryan Anderson, founder of Annuity Straight Talk, speaks with Ashok Ramji, a financial consultant with TOP Planning LLC, an independent asset protection and retirement income planning firm serving retirees and pre-retirees alike. In this episode, they delve into the topic of long-term care and how people can start planning for it.

 

Ashok opens the show with a discussion on his article “Long-term IRA Planning for Long-term Care”.
