The Most Important Estate Planning Decisions Aren’t Always Financial
Estate planning involves more than deciding who inherits your assets. It’s also about choosing the people who will carry out your wishes. From executors and trustees to power of attorney agents and guardians, each role comes with different responsibilities. The “Henssler Money Talks” hosts are joined by estate attorney Kyle Rinaudo from Reeves Law P.C. to discuss what to consider when selecting these individuals, why family relationships aren’t the only factor, and how those decisions can affect your estate plan.

Money Between Friends: Who Picks Up the Check?
You're out to dinner with friends, and when the check arrives, someone offers to put it on their card. Sounds simple enough, until it's time to collect everyone's share. Why can asking a friend to pay you back feel so uncomfortable? We share our own experiences with splitting expenses, picking up the tab, and navigating the unwritten rules of money and friendship. From generational differences to the psychology behind generosity, we explore why even small amounts of money can create awkward situations between friends.
Long-Term Care: When Life Tests the Financial Plan
A listener's family experience raises an important question: How do you prepare financially for the possibility of needing long-term care? Rather than revisiting the basics of long-term care, we're looking at how these situations fit into a broader financial plan, including the role of insurance, managing unexpected expenses, and balancing care needs with other financial priorities. We discuss why planning for long-term care isn't just about anticipating costs, but also about having the financial flexibility to navigate difficult decisions when circumstances change. While our listener planned to sell the house for mom’s care, it’s looking like it might be next year vs. 10 years from now. So how do you plan for that sudden change in the plan?
We discuss financial planning encompassing spending, saving, taxes, investments, insurance, retirement, estate plans, and more.
