On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I was joined by Joy Loverde and Cathy Sikorski who are both authors and speakers to talk about changing the way we think about money and caregiving. 

Here’s what we discussed: 

• Plan, plan and then go ahead and plan more
• Why quality of life is the most important thing. 
• Asking for advice is a great way to start the conversation 
• It’s okay to say that you won’t be the caregiver 
• Where you live matters
