Financial Planning with Shaista Kazmi
In partnership with AARP, we bring you the final episode in our 6 part, mini docu-series: Financial Planning. Shaista Kazmi’s journey highlights the importance of financial literacy and planning for the future. A just-released Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) survey found that 55 percent of caregiving workers and 37 percent of caregiving retirees provide financial support to a caregiving recipient. Among both workers and retirees who provide this support, nearly 4 in 10 spent $5,000 to $14,999 over the previous 12 months. For many the costs of caregiving can be financially damaging but proactively discussing plans for the future can negate unnecessary stress. Tune in to hear Shaista’s story and important tips on preparing to care.
