Summary

Aging is changing-- we can live decades longer than our parents or grandparents. But this means questions they didn't have to answer: Is long-term care insurance worth the expense? How do I find the best healthcare? Which legal documents do I really need? Levine helps you find the advice you need, whether you're planning for yourself or a loved one
