About this listen

Everything you need to know to plan for your own safe, financially secure, healthy, and happy old age

For those who have no support system in place, the thought of aging without help can be a frightening, isolating prospect. Whether you have friends and family ready and able to help you or not, growing old does not have to be an inevitable decline into helplessness. It is possible to maintain a good quality of life in your later years, but having a plan is essential. Who Will Take Care of Me When I'm Old? equips listeners with everything they need to prepare on their own:

  • Advice on the tough medical, financial, and housing decisions to come
  • Real solutions to create a support network
  • Questions about aging solo listeners don't know to ask
  • Customizable worksheets and checklists that help keep plans on course
  • Guidance on new products, services, technology, and resources

Who Will Take Care of Me When I'm Old? goes way beyond estate planning to help listeners prepare for all the changes in store. Listeners are empowered to make proactive plans for their own lives rather than entrusting decisions to family and community.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A collection of blog posts turned into a book

The book starts off with the compelling story and then turns into what seems like this book started off as a collection of blog posts. At the end of every chapter, and sometimes in the middle, the author will read out the full URL addresses of the different resources she highlights in that section.

The experience of that on audible is terrible, because you have to listen to author spell out all the WWWs for a list of URLs pertinent to that section which gets pretty tedious.

The print version is probably a much better resource.

It would be a much better book if there was a human story introducing every chapter… Unfortunately, there isn’t much of this.

Helping on plan ahead

I’ve been listening to Who Will Take Care of Me When I’m Old on Audible while walking or riding my bike and it’s such a fantastic book! As a CFP for the last 30 years, I find it thought provoking. It goes beyond any other book of its kind in helping one really plan ahead. Thank you for writing this. It had to be a huge undertaking with lots of research.
