Have You Decided?

D-Day is defined as the day an important operation is to begin or a change is to take effect. Being that retirement planning is a daunting task for many people, it is an important operation that is often neglected until too late in the game. At Next Step, we have seen firsthand the devastation resulting from this neglect. That is why we are encouraging you today, to let this day be your Advanced Care Decision Day, the day you and your family members each make a resolution to address saving for retirement and end-of-life decisions regarding:

• The person you want to make care decisions for you if you can't
• Medical treatment you want/don't 
• How comfortable you want to be
• How you want people to treat you
• What you want your loved ones to know

Let's Start the Conversation
In a previous blog, we talked about how to get the retirement planning conversation started with our Family Consultation and I.C.E. Binder. Included in our I.C.E. Binder is a Five Wishes booklet to guide your conversation.... If you want to get started right now, you can use Five Wishes Online to complete and print a customized document immediately, and share instantly with those you care about. 

Conversations between adult children and their parents regarding their money matters, power of attorney, and funeral arrangements are made more comfortable in the presence of a professional third party.

Knowing that things seldom get accomplished without the structure of an appointment or a deadline, we strongly advise that you contact us today to set up a Family Consultation. We also know that conversations between adult children and their parents regarding money, power of attorney, and funeral arrangements are made more comfortable in the presence of a professional third party.
