Seven in ten Americans turning 65 today will need care for prolonged periods. That’s a staggering statistic when you think about your retirement plans. So much of our vision for our retirement takes place on the sunny side of the street. Once a financial goal has been achieved, the rest is filling in a calendar with activities you like or eagerly awaiting the time to make it happen. But, reread that first sentence. Whether that seven in ten is you or your life partner, needing or providing care influences how your retirement unfolds. It doesn’t mean you’ll need to abandon your retirement plans; it means it will be different. My guest, Retirement Coach Leslie Koc, coaches those who have become caregivers in the midst of their retirement. Leslie brings her own spousal caregiving experiences to her profession. This curve ball doesn’t need to destroy your retirement dream. We’ll explore how caregiving brings about unexpected changes and the ways to reroute your original path.
