150 - The Real Cost of Getting Older with Farnoosh Torabi

About this episode

Financial expert Farnoosh Torabi discusses the costs associated with aging and retirement planning.

In this episode, financial expert Farnoosh Torabi tackles one of the most overlooked—and emotionally charged—areas of personal finance: planning for retirement and aging, both for yourself and the people you love. Farnoosh breaks down the real cost of growing older, from rising healthcare and long-term care expenses to the hidden financial strain of becoming a caregiver. She offers practical guidance on how to start the conversation with aging parents before a crisis hits, what documents every family needs in place, and how to avoid the costly mistakes that derail even well-intentioned plans. You'll learn how to assess whether your retirement savings are truly on track, the difference between a will and a trust and when you need each, why powers of attorney and healthcare directives matter, and how to protect family assets while navigating Medicare, long-term care insurance, and estate planning. Whether you're decades from retirement or helping a parent through this stage right now, Farnoosh delivers clear, actionable steps to set your whole family up for security and peace of mind.
