Empowering Clients to Change Habits and Cut Care Costs and keep more Retirement money

AMHERST, N.Y. - March 29, 2025 - PRLog -- One of the most difficult aspects of planning for a care event or retirement is confronting the emotional and financial challenges that come with it. However, through behavior and habit change, we can help clients reduce the financial stress of care events and keep more of their money.

Changing long-standing habits may feel impossible, especially when individuals are reluctant to change. But in the world of care and retirement planning, changing behaviors—such as proactive planning—is critical. Often, clients are unaware of the resources and services they already have but are not utilizing. These can significantly reduce care costs and increase financial security. For example, simply encouraging clients to take advantage of fall prevention classes already covered by their health insurance can help prevent accidents that lead to costly medical expenses.

The key to success lies in changing how clients perceive care events and retirement planning. By using techniques like open communication, setting clear intentions, and focusing on the benefits of proactive planning, clients can build new habits that lead to better financial outcomes. When these habits become ingrained, clients are better prepared, not only for care events but also for managing the financial challenges that accompany them.

Incorporating behavioral science into planning can also make a significant difference. We know that people are often more likely to act when the benefits are clear, immediate, and tied to something they already use. Advisors should focus on reinforcing existing behaviors, such as making sure clients understand and maximize their current insurance policies and benefits.

By guiding clients through a structured, proactive planning process, we help reduce the stress and uncertainty that comes with care events. This approach minimizes the risk of financial loss, ensures families don't scramble for resources, and allows clients to maintain their independence and lifestyle. Helping clients develop habits for care and retirement planning isn't just about saving money; it's about peace of mind and a more secure future.

That's the power of planning. That's the power of having the right plan.

When I see families that lose everything because they haven't taken a few simple steps, it makes me that much more motivated to get this message to as many people as possible and save as many families as possible.
