“I don’t want to talk about it.” If you’ve heard some version of that from an aging parent when you’ve tried to bring up their finances, you’re not alone, and you’re not overstepping.
In this episode, financial-planning columnist and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Beth Pinsker joins us to talk about what it really takes to navigate financial caregiving — even when you’re the expert. Beth won a SABEW Best in Business award for her columns on caring for her mother, which became her book, My Mother’s Money: A Guide to Financial Caregiving. But as she shares, all that professional expertise didn’t fully prepare her for the relentless tenacity required once she became a caregiver herself.
We get into why financial caregiving today isn’t like it was for our parents’ generation.
- Why naming co-proxies can be a disaster waiting to happen
- How to navigate banks, Social Security, the VA, Medicare, and Medicaid
- How sibling dynamics complicate caregiving decisions
- What happens when the parent-child relationship suddenly shifts
- What to do when a parent shuts down the money conversation
Whether you’re deep in caregiving right now, just starting to prepare, or stuck because your parents won’t engage, this episode meets you where you are.
