“Hope you don’t have to multiply by two.”

The average person significantly underestimates the cost of long-term care services. Here’s reality. A single year of long-term care services can cost more than a year’s retirement income, or even the income you were pulling down when fully employed. As you’re perusing the average figures below, consider your cost if both you and your spouse require care at the same time. You’ll need to multiply by two.
