Dementia Decoded

Financial Planning + Wellness for Caregivers


Listen Later

Caregiving, especially for those with dementia, presents unique financial challenges. This episode explores the intersection of financial planning and wellbeing for caregivers, addressing the often-unforeseen costs associated with providing care. We discuss proactive financial measures to take before caregiving becomes necessary, including legal considerations and long-term care planning. The conversation also delves into strategies for caregivers already facing financial strain. We cover practical tips for budgeting, accessing available resources, and navigating the complexities of financial assistance programs. Join us for a crucial discussion on protecting both your loved one's future and your own financial wellbeing while caregiving.

Our Guest: Danielle Muira

 I am the owner of Spark Financials. I grew up as an only-child in a middle-class family. My parents strived for financial stability, working hard and long hours. After our daughter was born, I had a strike of urgency to plan for my family’s future. After reviewing my parent's retirement documents, I found that their retirement funds had almost no growth during one of the best decades in the stock market.

I started to read finance books, took seven CFP® educational courses, and passed two of the most difficult tests in the financial industry. Now, I have become one of the most prominent financial advisors in the industry.
