E44: Secure Your Mission with Cathy Sikorski
According to statistics, 90% of women’s income is invested back into their families for nutrition, education, and healthcare. As the mother of a high school junior, I can definitely attest to this. We women are naturally caregivers. Unfortunately, this generosity can strain our well-being and financial future.
This episode’s guest is Cathy Sikorski, an Elder Law attorney, blogger, and video influencer, who makes complex legal and financial issues digestible and helps you to avert a crisis in caregiving, aging, and retirement.
Among the wisdom Cathy shares:
- How being a caregiver to families is a dubious honor because of the accountability
- Long-term care insurance as an important safety net for self-employed caregivers
- Why it’s essential to get powers of attorney in relation to your finances and healthcare
Let’s avoid the financial pitfalls that surprise too many women due to our selflessness. As the saying goes, “You need to secure your own mask first before assisting others.” That is the most loving thing you can do.
