For those of you feeling distressed, confused, or anxious call us and get your questions answered. Your long-term peace of mind is on the line.

It’s Your Turn: Taking Care Of Your Parents
(3/27/10) – Leonard Raskin, the WTL Women’s Wealth Expert, joined us to talk about the importance of discovering your true purpose for money. Each of us has our own set of values and beliefs and one way that we express values is through financial decisions. Think of it this way: when financial decisions align with values, we experience a very real sense of satisfaction and contentment. However, when we struggle, worry, experience buyers’ remorse, or suffer over money, it’s very likely that our financial choices are inconsistent with our inner value system. This is why, no matter what financial decision you are facing, the first step is to define your values. The discovery process can work for everyone.
Discovering Your True Purpose For Money
(7/17/10) – It’s a common condition now and one that, sooner or later, may affect every one of you. You may feel like you’re caught between a rock and a hard place.

Leonard Raskin of Raskin Global, joins me and talk about this very topic. In some cases, your parents may need occasional help making sure groceries are stocked, running some errands and taking care of maintenance around the home. However, in some cases, a medical condition or disability will make it necessary for you to hire home help or consider assisted living or nursing home facilities. And, these aren’t cheap. The bottom line is…you and your parents will want to take some concrete steps to access their situation, determine their needs, and how it will be handled financially. And, the sooner, the better. Tune in as Leonard discusses the steps of this important planning process.
