Do You Need Long-Term Care Insurance?
Americans today are living longer. According to the Social Security Administration, men and women who reach age 65 live to age 84 and 86.5, respectively. Also, approximately one in three 65-year-olds will live past age 90, and one in seven will live past age 95. That means for 14.2% of those 65 or older, retirement years will make up a third of their lifetime.
