Proactively protecting your clients’ future net worth
This is the question we need to be asking our Millennial clients:
“Do you feel the primary burden of providing long-term care for your parents or grandparents will fall to you and others in your generation?” (Benefits Pro)
This is a serious issue as more than 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 each and every day. The "Silver Tsunami," as it has been coined, is not going to relent. Supply and demand market forces suggest that Millennials should be ready for a dramatic increase in prices for LTC services right when all the Boomers need care the most.
