In this episode, long-term care insurance expert Scott A. Olson argues that asking clients if they would struggle emotionally with spending their assets on care is unhelpful. Most people don't know how they or their family would react when a crisis actually occurs. He explains that decision-making typically defaults to stressed family members, who often default to providing unpaid care themselves rather than spending retirement funds. Scott emphasizes that owning long-term care insurance removes this burden, giving families the peace of mind and financial freedom to hire professional help early.
