What if aging didn’t have to feel like a downgrade?

In this episode, Jay and Bri explore what long-term care can look like when you’ve got the financial resources to design it your way. From high-end independent living communities to cruise ships and even Golden Girls-style co-living, this conversation is packed with creative (and practical!) ways to age with intention, dignity, and—yes—luxury.

Whether you're planning for your own care or helping someone else, this episode reminds you: your money should serve your future, not limit it.
