In a segment on 'CT BUZZ,' host Natasha Lubczenko interviewed Eric Hogarth, a Certified Financial Planner and Senior Partner at Johnson Brunetti Retirement & Investment Specialists, about how people can prepare for the costs of long-term care in their retirement planning. Hogarth discussed options like self-funding through personal savings, purchasing long-term care insurance, and starting the planning process early for more affordable choices.

Why it matters

Long-term care is a common financial blind spot, with 61% of Americans believing they'll need it but only 44% having planned for it. Preparing for these potential expenses is crucial for a secure retirement.

The details

Hogarth provided several strategies for covering long-term care costs, including self-funding through personal savings, purchasing traditional or hybrid long-term care insurance policies, and starting the planning process early to access more affordable options. He also highlighted a free book offer from Johnson Brunetti called 'But What if You Need Long-Term Care?' and encouraged viewers to visit the firm's website to explore their resource center and schedule a free 15-minute consultation with a financial advisor.
