Happy New Year! Let's make 2026 the year we design and fund our LTC plan without destroying our budget.

This week, Diane shares ways to pay for long term care insurance with alternatives to simply using income to fund it.

Listen and learn how to reduce the impact on the budget while preparing for that day when we do become more dependent on other people to help us get through our days. We're making sure to afford a plan today AND afford to provide for our needs then.

We recorded "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" along with a few other classics about 15 years ago. My husband, Paul, is the guitar master, and I am playing flute.

Please enjoy, and share with those you care about most as you gather to celebrate this week.

As Christians, our family is celebrating the birth of our Savior.

Whatever you celebrate this season, do so with love and joy in your hearts.

If you're weary, lay still and hear the angels sing as they bring peace throughout the world.

I pray for blessings over each of you today, and into 2026 (and beyond).

Sending hugs to everyone.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!!

When discussing worksite LTC with employers, two question come up all the time -

1) How much work do I as an employer or HR director have to put in?

2) I heard LTC insurance is expensive. How much more will the company be spending to add this benefit?

Jason Dutra clearly addresses both of these questions this week.
