In this new episode of Friends Talk Money, Richard, Pam, and Terry sit down with Lily Vittayarukskul, Co-Founder and CEO of Waterlily, for a candid conversation about what most people get wrong about long-term care and how AI is changing the game.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why most Americans underestimate the true cost and likelihood of needing long-term care
