  • Practical steps highlighted across the series include building emergency savings, planning for long-term-care costs, and setting up a special-needs trust where relevant.
  • Five upcoming installments are scheduled weekly from Aug. 6 through Sept. 3, extending the series’ focus on customized retirement planning beyond one-size-fits-all guidance.
