Long-term care top concern among Americans

A survey that Matthew Greenwald & Associates conducted for the Society of Actuaries found that 69% of pre-retirees — workers age 45 and older — are worried about long-term care and inflation, followed by paying for health care (67%).

For retirees, 58% are worried about long-term care, 52% about inflation, and 47% about health care.

If you are among them, you should read A Boomer’s Guide to Long-term Care.
