Getting Ready for Getting Older

We all know it’s coming, but few of us like to think about it, much less plan for it. But preparing for your senior years now, financially, physically, and mentally, will increase your chances for living out your life the manner you want to. Laurie Petrie, communications director for Council on Aging of Southwestern Ohio, Litigation Director at Pro Seniors, Miriam H. Sheline, and Dr. Suzanne Kunkel, Director of the Scripps Gerontology Center at Miami University, talk about getting ready for getting older. You can find  additional information at the US Department of Labor, and at the Ohio Department of Insurance.
