Send us a text

On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I was joined by Joy Loverde and Cathy Sikorski who are both authors and speakers to talk about changing the way we think about money and caregiving.
Here’s what we discussed:

• Plan, plan and then go ahead and plan more
• Why quality of life is the most important thing.
• Asking for advice is a great way to start the conversation
• It’s okay to say that you won’t be the caregiver
• Where you live matters
