Show Notes

What would happen if tomorrow you became the primary caregiver for a loved one? Most families think they have time, but the reality is caregiving crises hit fast and hard. Today, “Money Sense” host Karen Ellenbecker is joined by Annalee Kruger, founder of Care Right Inc., to discuss why planning ahead is essential.

Annalee shares insight from nearly 30 years of experience helping families plan for aging, dementia, and long-term care. She breaks down the emotional, financial, and physical costs of caregiving, the complexities of caring for loved ones with dementia, and how families can plan for aging parents while also protecting their own future care needs. The conversation also addresses the challenge of balancing caregiving responsibilities with careers and family life.
