I don’t, but was reading about it and other retirement strategies yesterday on Morningstar. They say that there are very few companies that offer it anymore. I think there was something offered by my previous FT employer through Met life but it’s kind of a joke because is no one left there over 50, so why buy it if they’ll lay you off long before you need it. Lol.

They said if you want to self fund a couple years put aside a separate account based on current nursing rents in your area plus inflation. Then you have to also consider the cost of living for a surviving spouse. Dreary subject but good to try to plan.

I only have $30k in IRAs saved. Pathetic, I know. So I applied for long term care insurance through an insurance broker (dude has been doing this for 30 years). He searched the insurance companies offering long term care insurance (via a pull down menu while we did a screenshare) and I chose the one company that lets you get unlimited forever (National Guardian Life). I chose the "10 pay" option. I will pay $15k per year for the next 10 years (about $15k all in). Then I am done paying. I will be 59 years old at that point, and will be covered for up to $9k per month for the rest of my life. I will be able to use it for at-home care, skilled nursing home or assisted living home...any kind of licensed care. Yeah, I will still have to save more bc likely it will cost more than $9k per month, but at least I will have that.

So basically, if I stay healthy for 10 more years, and use it for at least two years, I will get back what I paid in. Even considering if instead, I stash that $15k/year into high interest savings account interest rate of 5%, I would only get $7500 in interest in ten years. So still, it's worth it.

Sounds to good. What are the conditions for using it? If you live 20 years will they really cover 9k a month for 20 years on 150k investment? I’m not great with math so maybe I missed something.

Yes. Sounds great, right?

I'm searching for places that can handle my weight. I even cried full on which has not been happening since I started taking medication for depression. Is this anxiety? Or my brain is just ready let go finally.

Hi,

Just started a new job less than a month ago in the tech sector. It was the industry I was fixated on when leaving for. However I realise that I don't think I can cope with the fast paced, lack of wlb, with no support - it's really impacting my mental health already....

I try to hide it from my boyfriend, but its impact is flowing into my personal life.
I feel like a failure, but recognise it might be beneficial to cut loss and quit. Has anyone been in this situation?

Any advice?
