“American Caregivers: The Time To Plan Is Now”

American Caregivers: The Time To Plan Is Now,” Advisor Magazine  


Quote:

“Fidelity Investments® today released its latest American Caregivers study, revealing 7 out of 10 caregivers are so focused on caregiving duties they put off addressing their own needs. … Forty-four percent of caregivers took on responsibilities by default rather than volunteering or through family conversations. On the financial front, a majority rely primarily on a combination of their own or a family members’ work income (68%) and government benefits (52%) to pay for care.”
