You’ve built wealth, secured retirement, and protected your legacy, but long-term care costs can dismantle it.
The Great Income Gap reveals how care expenses, hidden tax traps, and self-funding risks erode even affluent portfolios.
“My advisor said I didn’t need long-term care insurance because I had $8 million. I told him, ‘I never said I needed it - I said I wanted it. I don’t want to use my money. I want to use someone else’s.’”
A care income plan is easier than you think and it costs nothing to explore your options.
You didn’t build your wealth by accident.
You made smart decisions, asked the right questions, and stayed ahead of the curve - long before others even saw what was coming.
That’s exactly why more and more successful families are quietly adding long-term care planning to their financial strategy.
Not because they expect to need care.
But because they know better than to leave any part of their portfolio - especially one as potentially expensive and disruptive as this - without clear purpose and direction.
They’re not reacting to risk. They’re controlling the narrative:
This is the kind of planning that fits seamlessly into how high-net-worth individuals think: efficient, intentional, and invisible until it’s needed.
You’ve planned for everything else.
Now it’s time to finish the plan.

“We had over $5 million in assets and thought we could self-insure care.
But when my husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, we ended up spending nearly $600,000 over five years - selling investments at the wrong time, triggering massive taxes, and watching our Medicare premiums spike.
We didn’t just lose money. We lost control. What we really needed was a plan, not just a portfolio.”
