What if aging didn’t have to feel like a downgrade?
In this episode, Jay and Bri explore what long-term care can look like when you’ve got the financial resources to design it your way. From high-end independent living communities to cruise ships and even Golden Girls-style co-living, this conversation is packed with creative (and practical!) ways to age with intention, dignity, and—yes—luxury.
