In this Living to 100 Club Podcast, we explore the challenges of making important, difficult decisions about our future well-being, and who can help with these decisions. Our topic is “Health and Wealth: How to Make Them Last. And our guest is Melinda Kruse DiPerna, a Broker-Associate Realtor. We first explore major, life-threatening decisions that our guest faced years ago. These included physical, inter-personal, and professional matters that were close to de-railing her career. What were the stumbling blocks and what was her recovery like? To bring this personal journey into perspective, we then put the spotlight on helping seniors assess their own roadblocks. These roadblocks may pertain to decisions about living independently, deciding who to rely on for help, and how to evaluate the risks ahead.
