Long Term Care Insurance. You may need it, you may already have it, or you may have declined it at your annual benefits enrollment—either way, Long Term Care Insurance can be an awkwardly difficult conversation. We often think of long-term care when retirement planning, and that’s a fine time to think about it, but what happens when you are still young in life and a sudden health change or accident results in the need for additional daily assistance?
