Annuity Insights: Women and Wealth — Golden Living: How Advisors Proactively Plan for Health and Care Risk Without Derailing the Financial Plan
Produced by The American College of Financial Services, in partnership with New York Life Annuities. Long-term care planning is a critical part of retirement resilience planning, especially for women who are more likely to serve as caregivers and may also face longer care needs later in life. Health and care risk can affect more than the balance sheet; it can reshape family roles, housing decisions, legacy plans, and the emotional realities clients and their loved ones face. In this episode, Michael Finke, Ruby Grace Reyes, and Daralee Barbera discuss why advisors should address long-term care proactively as part of a comprehensive financial plan. Our experts examine the financial, emotional, and family realities of care planning, including caregiving expectations, insurability, standalone and linked-benefit long-term care solutions, asset liquidation strategies, and the importance of preparing beneficiaries before a care event occurs. The conversation also highlights why planning early can help clients preserve choice, protect family relationships, and reduce stress when health changes.

Annuity Insights: Women and Wealth — Solo Retirees: Designing Durable Long-Term Plans
Produced by The American College of Financial Services, in partnership with New York Life Annuities. Solo retiree planning requires more than a standard retirement income plan. For women who are divorced, widowed, single by choice, or planning for the possibility of being uncoupled later in life, longevity risk and duration, housing decisions, caregiving responsibilities, and confidence with long-term financial topics can all shape the plan. In this episode, Michael Finke, Jessica Ruggles, and Tamiko Toland discuss how financial advisors can help solo retirees plan with clarity, resilience, and support. Our experts examine guaranteed income for singles, Social Security claiming, housing and healthspan considerations, and ways to build a durable income floor when there may not be a partner’s income or decision-making support to rely on. The conversation also highlights why advisors should engage both spouses early, prepare clients for life transitions, and help women clients feel informed before important retirement decisions have to be made.

Annuity Insights: Women & Wealth — Risk, Income, and Household Structure: How Advisors Can Tailor Plans Across Women’s Lives
Produced by The American College of Financial Services, in partnership with New York Life Annuities. Women’s retirement risk tolerance is shaped by more than portfolio preferences. Household structure, income needs, longevity risk, and relationship dynamics can all affect how clients think about security, flexibility, and market exposure. In this episode, Michael Finke, Theresa Gralinski, and Lindsey Lewis discuss how financial advisors can tailor planning conversations across different groups of women clients and connect risk decisions to practical income outcomes. Our experts examine retirement risk tolerance, household structure planning, income vs. risk tradeoffs, and how guaranteed income can help support a more durable retirement plan. The conversation also highlights how advisors can listen more closely, avoid common planning assumptions, and build strategies that reflect how women clients define confidence, protection, and long-term financial resilience.
