Discussing & Making a Plan for Aging<\/h2>\n

\"Candles<\/p>\n

I recently presented to a group meeting on decluttering\/downsizing methods and mine in particular, which is tailored to an individual\u2019s goals, along with our consumerism culture and having ‘those’ important discussions with family about possessions etc.<\/p>\n

I introduced the 40\/70 rule<\/strong> of thumb, which is a great one to consider.\u00a0 The principle is, that when you are in your 40s and your parents are in their 70s, it\u2019s a good time to have discussions to understand what\u2019s important regarding health and financial decisions, driving, dating, and end-of-life.\u00a0 Add into this, property and what you might want to happen with some of your possessions.
\nTogether you make a plan, commit it in writing and update it as you need to.\u00a0 This way, you\u2019ll know what to do in a crisis and take the guesswork out of aging.<\/p>\n
