Will You Be Self-Sufficient When You Reach Your 80s?

February 15, 2022 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

People that plan for retirement think of it as an extension of the life that they have experienced previously without the work responsibility. This is understandable, and you should enjoy your golden years to the fullest while you are active and fully capable.

September 21, 2021 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

As you age, you invariably find you do not have the same physical capabilities you once had. If you are like most people, you can take care of your day-to-day needs without assistance, even if you are in your 50s or 60s. No one wants to rely on someone else, but things can be very different when you reach an advanced age. Living into your 80s may seem like an iffy prospect, but the statistics say you may likely experience life as an octogenarian.
