Some people go into their retirement years with the same self -assurance they have shown throughout their lives. They know the thing in retirement, and they don’t need help from anyone. On the other hand, many people are retiring, and are not sure whether they are really ready for it.
If your older parent is of the second group, you may want to get involved in their retirement process as soon as possible. If they seem to be confused about what they are treading on, your help and advice may be needed at some point of time in the future.
But it is better to deal with whatever the issues are now, so you have time to prepare for any upcoming problems. Getting them to open about finances is very important. This can be a very difficult effort alone because most adults are uncomfortable discussing their finances with other people.
