Episode 60: Embracing Life After 60 - The Cost of Not Planning: Why Doing Nothing Is the Most Expensive Decision
Today I’m talking about something most people avoid until they’re forced to face it: the dangers of not planning.
And let me be clear—not planning is a plan. It’s just a plan where other people end up making decisions for you, usually during moments of stress, fear, or crisis.
In this episode of Relax, I Got This: Embracing Life After 60, I share real stories from families navigating dementia, hospice care, sudden caregiving roles, and rushed financial and housing decisions. I walk through five very real consequences of not planning, including lost money, strained relationships, unsafe living situations, and major life decisions being made in hospital hallways instead of from a place of strength.
This episode isn’t meant to scare you—but it is meant to wake you up. Planning ahead isn’t about paperwork. It’s about protecting the people you love, honoring your wishes, and giving yourself choices when they matter most.
No matter your age, now is the time to start the conversation.
