Listen "When Caregiving Leads to Bankruptcy"
Episode Synopsis
When you’re caring for an aging parent, you want the best care possible. But what does that care cost? And who pays for it? AARP’s caregiving expert Amy Goyer struggled financially to give her parents the best care possible and even ended up filing for bankruptcy. Despite this, Amy looks back on the joy of caregiving and celebrating the wins. AARP has financial and legal resources for caregivers, including ways to protect your money while caring for a loved one or friend. AARP also has information on how to find credit counseling here.
