Dementia presents a growing risk for all of us as we age. Research shows that even mild cognitive impairment makes it hard for people to manage their money on their own. Today we speak with Marti DeLiema, Naomi Karp, and Steve Vernon about a project designed to help. It’s called the Thinking Ahead Roadmap. It’s free on the web and intended to start important planning conversations today.

about the thinking ahead road map which is
50
00:02:33,475 –> 00:02:33,742
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
51
00:02:33,475 –> 00:02:38,547
[marti_deliema__phd]: really a tool to help adults identify
someone in their life who they trust to
52
00:02:38,627 –> 00:02:42,057
[marti_deliema__phd]: help them with money management as they
age
53
00:02:42,295 –> 00:02:42,315
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
54
00:02:43,069 –> 00:02:48,022
[marti_deliema__phd]: so you know we often think about
you know i were in a car accident
55
00:02:48,102 –> 00:02:52,625
[marti_deliema__phd]: if something happened to me and i
was in the hospital would i designate to
56
00:02:52,685 –> 00:02:57,590
[marti_deliema__phd]: make my health care choices for me
and make medical decisions what we often fail
57
00:02:57,690 –> 00:03:02,275
[marti_deliema__phd]: to consider is who will help pay
my bills who will help make sure that
58
00:03:02,335 –> 00:03:05,142
[marti_deliema__phd]: my assets are managed properly as i
59
00:03:05,155 –> 00:03:05,755
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah
60
00:03:05,264 –> 00:03:05,770
[marti_deliema__phd]: get older
61
00:03:06,217 –> 00:03:06,360
[ramsey_d_smith]: kay
62
00:03:06,719 –> 00:03:08,502
[marti_deliema__phd]: yet we live in a society where
we
63
00:03:08,466 –> 00:03:08,486
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
64
00:03:08,582 –> 00:03:13,510
[marti_deliema__phd]: don’t like to talk about money not
with family not with friends so really this
65
00:03:13,610 –> 00:03:19,141
[marti_deliema__phd]: tool that we developed is to help
aging adults start having those conversations with family
66
00:03:19,201 –> 00:03:20,809
[marti_deliema__phd]: members identify someone
67
00:03:20,845 –> 00:03:21,070
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
68
00:03:20,849 –> 00:03:26,146
[marti_deliema__phd]: who can be their financial advocate authorize
that person to get set up as their
69
00:03:26,306 –> 00:03:30,116
[marti_deliema__phd]: agent under a power of attorney and
to help them as they age to keep
70
00:03:30,176 –> 00:03:30,938
[marti_deliema__phd]: their money safe
71
00:03:31,335 –> 00:03:37,373
[ramsey_d_smith]: got it and so what what led
you to to pursue a career in ngerentology
72
00:03:39,075 –> 00:03:39,198
[steve_vernon]: yes
73
00:03:39,199 –> 00:03:39,579
[marti_deliema__phd]: well i
74
00:03:39,724 –> 00:03:39,745
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
75
00:03:39,940 –> 00:03:43,143
[marti_deliema__phd]: am a financial exploitation and fraud researcher
76
00:03:43,268 –> 00:03:43,392
[ramsey_d_smith]: thank
77
00:03:43,683 –> 00:03:47,727
[marti_deliema__phd]: and i used to sit in on
meetings of adult protective service workers and law
78
00:03:47,807 –> 00:03:48,428
[marti_deliema__phd]: enforcement
79
00:03:48,756 –> 00:03:48,898
[ramsey_d_smith]: but
80
00:03:48,999 –> 00:03:54,007
[marti_deliema__phd]: and they would always say time and
time again if someone had just stepped in
81
00:03:54,167 –> 00:04:00,598
[marti_deliema__phd]: and helped manage this person’s money before
they started experiencing dementia before they started having
82
00:04:00,618 –> 00:04:06,305
[marti_deliema__phd]: these health problems they wouldn’t have lost
you know fifty two thousand dollars in a
83
00:04:06,385 –> 00:04:10,352
[marti_deliema__phd]: scan so i got me to think
you know if we start engaging in earlier
84
00:04:10,472 –> 00:04:15,179
[marti_deliema__phd]: planning for ourselves and for our family
members we can actually prove a lot of
85
00:04:15,239 –> 00:04:21,324
[marti_deliema__phd]: the major financial losses in later life
that are simply due to not having
86
00:04:21,325 –> 00:04:22,075
[ramsey_d_smith]: my
87
00:04:21,445 –> 00:04:25,688
[marti_deliema__phd]: someone involved in overseeing our finances and
our financial decisions
88
00:04:26,165 –> 00:04:26,225
[ramsey_d_smith]: we
89
00:04:26,310 –> 00:04:30,457
[paul_tyler]: no me tell us tell us about
your background you’re coming from a very different
90
00:04:30,477 –> 00:04:37,770
[paul_tyler]: direction the legal side of planning and
taking care of legal issues in later age
91
00:04:38,880 –> 00:04:44,850
[naomi_karp]: ah yes that’s right although i have
to say when i decided to become a
92
00:04:44,930 –> 00:04:50,439
[naomi_karp]: lawyer it was because i wanted to
work in the public sector and then on
93
00:04:50,559 –> 00:04:51,440
[naomi_karp]: profit sector
94
00:04:52,050 –> 00:04:52,950
[paul_tyler]: oh
95
00:04:52,120 –> 00:04:56,664
[naomi_karp]: and i started my legal career representing
low income and older
96
00:04:56,695 –> 00:04:57,415
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah
97
00:04:56,784 –> 00:04:59,407

[ramsey_d_smith]: m
99
00:04:59,467 –> 00:05:00,087
[naomi_karp]: going back
100
00:05:00,122 –> 00:05:01,412
[steve_vernon]: yeah
101
00:05:00,247 –> 00:05:07,829
[naomi_karp]: you know thirty plus years i started
out in the field and then over time
102
00:05:07,929 –> 00:05:15,220
[naomi_karp]: i moved more into advocacy policy and
research and have ted a variety of non
103
00:05:15,360 –> 00:05:22,087
[naomi_karp]: profits including a r p in the
american bar association um and finally worked as
104
00:05:22,387 –> 00:05:24,880
[naomi_karp]: a a federal
105
00:05:24,549 –> 00:05:24,570
[paul_tyler]: m
106
00:05:24,940 –> 00:05:31,370
[naomi_karp]: employee at the relatively new consumer financial
protection bureau which had an office specifically to
107
00:05:31,471 –> 00:05:37,120
[naomi_karp]: protect the finances of older adults but
overall of this time i’ve worked a lot
108
00:05:37,300 –> 00:05:44,512
[naomi_karp]: on issues around advanced planing cognitive decline
and how do we protect the most vulnerable
109
00:05:44,652 –> 00:05:45,354
[naomi_karp]: older adults
110
00:05:46,172 –> 00:05:46,862
[steve_vernon]: yeah
111
00:05:46,375 –> 00:05:50,524
[naomi_karp]: and so i’ve been thinking about these
issues and i think already expressed it well
112
00:05:50,584 –> 00:05:50,705
[naomi_karp]: that
113
00:05:50,665 –> 00:05:51,069

[bruno_caron]: m
115
00:05:50,745 –> 00:05:57,020
[naomi_karp]: we have a lot of visibility on
health care decision making and less so financial
116
00:05:57,100 –> 00:06:01,067
[naomi_karp]: decision making and the need to plan
for the fact that someone might have to
117
00:06:01,167 –> 00:06:07,558
[naomi_karp]: step into your shoes and do that
and finally i’ll also just mention that my
118

[naomi_karp]: mother about to turn ninety eight i

[bruno_caron]: yeah
210
00:08:56,201 –> 00:09:00,729
[steve_vernon]: our so it’s just for people to
know people age seventy five to seventy nine
211
00:09:00,829 –> 00:09:01,670
[steve_vernon]: about one and five
212
00:09:01,528 –> 00:09:01,771
[bruno_caron]: oh
213
00:09:01,751 –> 00:09:04,335
[steve_vernon]: have some form of mild cognate empironment
214
00:09:04,773 –> 00:09:04,956
[bruno_caron]: yes
215
00:09:04,776 –> 00:09:05,897
[steve_vernon]: and that gets up to one and
two
216
00:09:05,908 –> 00:09:06,576
[bruno_caron]: ye
217
00:09:06,018 –> 00:09:09,924
[steve_vernon]: for people in their eighties it doesn’t
mean ere fully dimension outsimers
218
00:09:09,544 –> 00:09:09,565
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
219
00:09:09,984 –> 00:09:15,213
[steve_vernon]: it just means there’s some kind of
mild empaironment and even without mild impairment you’re
220
00:09:15,233 –> 00:09:20,081
[steve_vernon]: getting into your later years you’re prone
to making mistakes it’s not necessarily fraud it
221
00:09:20,121 –> 00:09:25,696
[steve_vernon]: might be is making a mistake um
and so the risk
222
00:09:25,738 –> 00:09:25,999
[bruno_caron]: yeah
223
00:09:25,876 –> 00:09:27,057
[steve_vernon]: is real and
224
00:09:27,147 –> 00:09:27,268
[bruno_caron]: yeah
225
00:09:27,218 –> 00:09:32,850
[steve_vernon]: in the retirement business we’re all talking
about risks ramsey bruno and paul you know
226
00:09:32,890 –> 00:09:33,874
[steve_vernon]: you that’s a big issue
227
00:09:33,775 –> 00:09:34,825
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah
228
00:09:34,115 –> 00:09:39,509
[steve_vernon]: and so making mistakes and losing that
hard earned money that you’ve saved all your
229
00:09:39,569 –> 00:09:40,010
[steve_vernon]: life for
230
00:09:41,488 –> 00:09:42,268
[bruno_caron]: yeah
231
00:09:41,543 –> 00:09:46,871
[steve_vernon]: or being subject to fraud or exploitation
that’s a risk and so that’s what we
232
00:09:46,911 –> 00:09:52,320
[steve_vernon]: want to emphasize and marty has been
the leader of this project mary if you
233

[steve_vernon]: want to talk about that website that
would be terrific
234

00:10:00,660 –> 00:10:01,350
[paul_tyler]: yeah
239
00:10:00,733 –> 00:10:08,625

241
00:10:11,880 –> 00:10:12,630
[paul_tyler]: yeah
242
00:10:12,071 –> 00:10:12,972

00:12:09,404 –> 00:12:09,445
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah
313
00:12:09,420 –> 00:12:11,303
[marti_deliema__phd]: same things heard a lot of horror
stories
314
00:12:11,263 –> 00:12:11,405
[steve_vernon]: yeah
315
00:12:11,684 –> 00:12:15,310
[marti_deliema__phd]: of families who didn’t name someone to
be their power of attorney and how that
316
00:12:15,410 –> 00:12:16,812
[marti_deliema__phd]: worked out for them as a family
317
00:12:17,199 –> 00:12:17,220
[paul_tyler]: m
318
00:12:17,293 –> 00:12:21,994
[marti_deliema__phd]: all the disagreements between adults siblings and
who’s taking over as a financial
319
00:12:21,843 –> 00:12:21,965
[steve_vernon]: yeah
320
00:12:22,075 –> 00:12:23,284
[marti_deliema__phd]: exploitation and fraud
321
00:12:23,282 –> 00:12:23,504
[steve_vernon]: yeah
322
00:12:24,309 –> 00:12:27,514
[marti_deliema__phd]: and ultimately they were like yeah we
need some guidance we need to know how
323
00:12:27,554 –> 00:12:29,377
[marti_deliema__phd]: to start these conversations with our family
324
00:12:29,221 –> 00:12:29,282
[steve_vernon]: ah
325
00:12:29,458 –> 00:12:34,626
[marti_deliema__phd]: members how to get into kind of
the nittygritty how to set up your financial
326
00:12:34,807 –> 00:12:39,115
[marti_deliema__phd]: inventory so that naomi and steve’s jobs
as they were saying taking over of their
327
00:12:39,155 –> 00:12:42,602
[marti_deliema__phd]: parents is easier because ultimately one of
the driving
328
00:12:42,510 –> 00:12:43,260
[paul_tyler]: yeah
329
00:12:42,812 –> 00:12:44,361
[steve_vernon]: ye
330
00:12:43,123 –> 00:12:46,763
[marti_deliema__phd]: reasons why older adults want to do
this work i don’t want to be a
331
00:12:46,823 –> 00:12:52,199
[marti_deliema__phd]: burden we essentially design this tool to
help other adults meet that goal you know
332
00:12:52,259 –> 00:12:55,868
[marti_deliema__phd]: making it easy giving their family members
a runway to take over for them
333
00:12:56,541 –> 00:12:56,921
[paul_tyler]: interesting
334
00:12:56,908 –> 00:12:56,989
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah
335
00:12:56,941 –> 00:13:00,067
[paul_tyler]: yeah marty i think this is great
i think we’ve all done this i mean
336
00:13:00,087 –> 00:13:04,073
[paul_tyler]: my my mother had dementia for eight
years so naomi
337
00:13:05,239 –> 00:13:05,420
[naomi_karp]: yeah
338
00:13:05,355 –> 00:13:06,738
[paul_tyler]: i ampathized with where you
339
00:13:06,835 –> 00:13:06,855
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
340
00:13:06,858 –> 00:13:14,631
[paul_tyler]: are labels important for invest getting investors
for attracting people do you consider this to
341
00:13:14,691 –> 00:13:19,499
[paul_tyler]: be a technology solution or do you
look at s a solution to better spark
342
00:13:20,060 –> 00:13:23,168
[paul_tyler]: conversation s between people and trusted advisors
343
00:13:25,729 –> 00:13:30,477
[marti_deliema__phd]: more of a conversation starter tool and
a planning tool i think a lot of
344
00:13:30,517 –> 00:13:31,358
[marti_deliema__phd]: this can move into
345
00:13:31,292 –> 00:13:31,475
[steve_vernon]: oh
346
00:13:31,418 –> 00:13:36,787
[marti_deliema__phd]: the technology space i think a lot
of the decisions can be documented using technology
347
00:13:36,685 –> 00:13:37,525
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
348
00:13:37,228 –> 00:13:37,889
[marti_deliema__phd]: and a lot of the way
349
00:13:37,855 –> 00:13:38,157
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
350
00:13:37,969 –> 00:13:43,898
[marti_deliema__phd]: we store financial information and monitor someone’s
financial well being can be done through technology
351
00:13:44,999 –> 00:13:49,931
[marti_deliema__phd]: ultimately it comes down to people and
we really guide people in the thinking ahead
352
00:13:49,991 –> 00:13:54,081
[marti_deliema__phd]: road map and making the right choice
like don’t just pick child who is the
353
00:13:54,222 –> 00:13:58,713
[marti_deliema__phd]: oldest in the family don’t pick the
child who you think would feel left out
354
00:13:58,793 –> 00:14:02,139
[marti_deliema__phd]: if they weren’t chosen pick the person
who you think would do the best job
355
00:14:02,279 –> 00:14:03,241
[marti_deliema__phd]: at managing your money
356
00:14:03,118 –> 00:14:03,385
[bruno_caron]: yeah
357
00:14:03,621 –> 00:14:07,408
[marti_deliema__phd]: someone who manages their own money well
someone who will always put your interest first
358
00:14:08,089 –> 00:14:13,284
[marti_deliema__phd]: so i think there’s a huge human
element in this that we can’t solve with
359
00:14:13,404 –> 00:14:14,307
[marti_deliema__phd]: just technology
360
00:14:14,851 –> 00:14:15,815
[naomi_karp]: can i can i jump
361
00:14:15,735 –> 00:14:17,225
[bruno_caron]: and like a
362
00:14:18,159 –> 00:14:18,179
[naomi_karp]: i
363
00:14:18,218 –> 00:14:18,439
[bruno_caron]: please
364
00:14:18,239 –> 00:14:18,359
[naomi_karp]: was
365
00:14:18,540 –> 00:14:18,902
[bruno_caron]: please please
366
00:14:18,800 –> 00:14:23,708
[naomi_karp]: i was just going to jump in
and add um those converse those decisions and
367
00:14:23,768 –> 00:14:24,830
[naomi_karp]: those conversations
368
00:14:24,962 –> 00:14:25,127
[steve_vernon]: ye
369
00:14:24,990 –> 00:14:31,020
[naomi_karp]: to get someone on board as your
financial advocate those are really important but part
370
00:14:31,080 –> 00:14:31,862
[naomi_karp]: of it also
371
00:14:31,833 –> 00:14:31,997
[steve_vernon]: yeah
372
00:14:32,122 –> 00:14:38,232
[naomi_karp]: is to help people communicate their preferences
and values so we help guide people into
373
00:14:38,312 –> 00:14:46,045
[naomi_karp]: additional conversations and we even have on
the tool we have a little quiz people
374
00:14:46,145 –> 00:14:50,713
[naomi_karp]: can take to help them sort of
come up with answers about you know what
375
00:14:50,773 –> 00:14:54,319
[naomi_karp]: is their philosophy about how they want
to if in the
376
00:14:54,293 –> 00:14:54,494
[steve_vernon]: yeah
377
00:14:54,379 –> 00:14:58,787
[naomi_karp]: future and how they want their money
used what are their priorities you know do
378
00:14:58,847 –> 00:15:02,312
[naomi_karp]: they want to preserve all the money
to leave it for their airs or do
379
00:15:02,373 –> 00:15:05,638
[naomi_karp]: they want to make themselves more comfortable
do they want to give gifts to the
380
00:15:05,678 –> 00:15:09,605
[naomi_karp]: grant oldrin even when they can’t do
it themselves and that sort of thing so
381
00:15:09,685 –> 00:15:12,509
[naomi_karp]: we raise a lot of provocative questions
and help people
382
00:15:12,722 –> 00:15:12,922
[steve_vernon]: oh
383
00:15:13,030 –> 00:15:14,352
[naomi_karp]: convey that information
384
00:15:13,966 –> 00:15:14,106
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah
385
00:15:14,473 –> 00:15:17,558
[naomi_karp]: to others the other thing is that
we do also want
386
00:15:17,519 –> 00:15:17,601
[ramsey_d_smith]: ah
387
00:15:17,618 –> 00:15:19,902
[naomi_karp]: to infer there’s a legal aspect to
this
388
00:15:20,372 –> 00:15:20,674
[steve_vernon]: oh
389
00:15:20,463 –> 00:15:23,488
[naomi_karp]: if you don’t give that person legal
authority they
390
00:15:23,522 –> 00:15:23,765
[steve_vernon]: oh
391
00:15:23,548 –> 00:15:27,554
[naomi_karp]: won’t be able to do your banking
they won’t be able to handle your investments
392
00:15:27,655 –> 00:15:31,381
[naomi_karp]: they won’t be able to manage your
debts they won’t be able to open new
393
00:15:31,461 –> 00:15:35,568
[naomi_karp]: accounts and won’t be able to manage
your real estate and all of that so
394
00:15:36,189 –> 00:15:37,431
[naomi_karp]: you know unfortunately
395
00:15:36,715 –> 00:15:37,504
[ramsey_d_smith]: ye
396
00:15:37,571 –> 00:15:42,199
[naomi_karp]: people don’t necessarily want to go to
lawyers or see it as expensive but we
397
00:15:42,279 –> 00:15:45,083
[naomi_karp]: do think they need a little bit
of legal help to put the right
398
00:15:44,995 –> 00:15:45,116
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
399
00:15:45,663 –> 00:15:48,748
[naomi_karp]: documents in place which can be pretty
simple actually
400
00:15:50,868 –> 00:15:55,115
[bruno_caron]: and do you have any any tips
and tricks on like easy things that that
401
00:15:55,215 –> 00:15:58,821
[bruno_caron]: can be done like you know a
pension check or an annuity
402
00:15:58,862 –> 00:15:59,002
[steve_vernon]: ye
403
00:15:58,902 –> 00:16:04,391
[bruno_caron]: check you know getting directly the positive
somewhere else where you know you
404
00:16:04,315 –> 00:16:05,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah
405
00:16:04,451 –> 00:16:07,676
[bruno_caron]: can cut some of those those teps
that could you know
406
00:16:07,744 –> 00:16:07,765
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
407
00:16:07,857 –> 00:16:14,187
[bruno_caron]: potentially ease the process and that that
actual burton or anything else for that matter
408
00:16:14,428 –> 00:16:14,750
[bruno_caron]: yeah
409
00:16:15,352 –> 00:16:15,553
[steve_vernon]: well
410
00:16:15,930 –> 00:16:16,214
[paul_tyler]: yeah
411
00:16:16,013 –> 00:16:18,057
[steve_vernon]: and now yes those those
412
00:16:17,910 –> 00:16:18,437
[paul_tyler]: ye
413
00:16:18,097 –> 00:16:22,144
[steve_vernon]: are good ideas and we have some
tips on the website for that about how
414
00:16:22,224 –> 00:16:22,304
[steve_vernon]: to
415
00:16:22,530 –> 00:16:23,220
[paul_tyler]: oh
416
00:16:22,584 –> 00:16:25,389
[steve_vernon]: set up your money and your sources
of retirement income
417
00:16:25,264 –> 00:16:25,285
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
418
00:16:26,090 –> 00:16:30,381
[steve_vernon]: to have more pre action um so
that’s a good idea but there’s a lot
419
00:16:30,501 –> 00:16:36,415
[steve_vernon]: more to it than that and so
we are covering that uh and hopefully and
420
00:16:36,776 –> 00:16:38,059
[steve_vernon]: paul to answer your question
421
00:16:37,890 –> 00:16:38,670
[paul_tyler]: yeah
422
00:16:38,159 –> 00:16:43,830
[steve_vernon]: to technology is enaenabler but the heart
of this is people helping people
423
00:16:43,932 –> 00:16:44,610
[paul_tyler]: okay
424
00:16:44,672 –> 00:16:49,700
[steve_vernon]: and nowadays for example if your financial
advocate is living far away they
425
00:16:49,624 –> 00:16:49,645
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
426
00:16:49,760 –> 00:16:52,284
[steve_vernon]: can still do a lot of help
remotely
427
00:16:52,140 –> 00:16:52,950
[paul_tyler]: oh
428
00:16:53,186 –> 00:16:56,974
[steve_vernon]: um so it’s an en abler but
we really have to have helping
429
00:16:56,764 –> 00:16:56,785
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
430
00:16:57,055 –> 00:16:57,859
[steve_vernon]: people on this one
431
00:16:58,910 –> 00:17:00,813

[paul_tyler]: and marty and this this is really
an international problem it’s not just here in

[paul_tyler]: the u s we had another really
interesting conversation with dr eros bell and

[ramsey_d_smith]: m
443
00:17:23,150 –> 00:17:24,131
[paul_tyler]: label if we had to
444
00:17:24,439 –> 00:17:24,662
[naomi_karp]: yeah
445
00:17:24,772 –> 00:17:26,193
[paul_tyler]: put a label put you put your
446

[steve_vernon]: oh
457
00:17:38,240 –> 00:17:41,731
[marti_deliema__phd]: do think that aging and longevity can
be flip sides of the same coin
458
00:17:41,815 –> 00:17:42,177
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
459
00:17:41,972 –> 00:17:45,140

00:17:45,145 –> 00:17:45,165
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
461
00:17:45,200 –> 00:17:48,764
[marti_deliema__phd]: throw around we oftentimes you don’t want
to age but we do want to achieve
462
00:17:48,824 –> 00:17:49,404
[marti_deliema__phd]: longevity
463
00:17:49,110 –> 00:17:49,412
[paul_tyler]: oh

[steve_vernon]: i
468
00:17:51,066 –> 00:17:51,346
[marti_deliema__phd]: it’s kind
469
00:17:51,355 –> 00:17:51,657
[ramsey_d_smith]: my
470
00:17:51,386 –> 00:17:52,247
[marti_deliema__phd]: of a euphemism for
471
00:17:52,200 –> 00:17:53,400
[paul_tyler]: oh
472
00:17:52,367 –> 00:17:57,267
[marti_deliema__phd]: aging i think this fits you know
pretty squarely in
473
00:17:57,519 –> 00:17:57,540
[paul_tyler]: m
474
00:17:57,688 –> 00:18:00,293
[marti_deliema__phd]: the you know planning space
475
00:18:00,420 –> 00:18:00,602
[paul_tyler]: ye
476
00:18:01,135 –> 00:18:05,532
[marti_deliema__phd]: i think it needs to fit along
with many types of retirement planning and income
477
00:18:05,572 –> 00:18:11,638
[marti_deliema__phd]: strategy planning tools that people might consider
and use as they enter into older age
478
00:18:12,809 –> 00:18:13,290
[marti_deliema__phd]: are gaining
479
00:18:13,045 –> 00:18:13,267
[ramsey_d_smith]: yeah
480
00:18:13,052 –> 00:18:13,072
[steve_vernon]: m
481
00:18:13,350 –> 00:18:13,930
[marti_deliema__phd]: longevity
482
00:18:14,640 –> 00:18:15,510
[paul_tyler]: yeah
483
00:18:14,792 –> 00:18:14,972
[marti_deliema__phd]: um
484
00:18:15,025 –> 00:18:15,371
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
485
00:18:15,392 –> 00:18:19,218
[marti_deliema__phd]: but at the same time this is
really about
486
00:18:19,539 –> 00:18:19,560
[paul_tyler]: m
487
00:18:20,969 –> 00:18:25,596
[marti_deliema__phd]: planning and families it is not just
this is not you know a tool for
488
00:18:25,696 –> 00:18:31,067
[marti_deliema__phd]: just monitoring using machine learning to monitor
assets to make sure there’s no fraud and
489
00:18:31,127 –> 00:18:36,520
[marti_deliema__phd]: abuse certainly a conversation that families can
have to implement those tools to help them
490
00:18:36,620 –> 00:18:39,347
[marti_deliema__phd]: do their job as a p or
a financial advocate
491
00:18:39,505 –> 00:18:39,869
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
492
00:18:40,129 –> 00:18:44,255
[marti_deliema__phd]: but you know some one needs to
understand your values like nam
493
00:18:44,374 –> 00:18:44,395
[ramsey_d_smith]: m
494
00:18:44,476 –> 00:18:48,304
[marti_deliema__phd]: saying in your financial goals the algorithm
is not going to figure
495
00:18:48,152 –> 00:18:48,172
[steve_vernon]: m
496
00:18:48,344 –> 00:18:51,855
[marti_deliema__phd]: that out for you you need to
have a conversation with someone who is going
497
00:18:51,895 –> 00:18:52,697
[marti_deliema__phd]: to be your advocate
498
00:18:53,393 –> 00:18:53,853
[steve_vernon]: say paul
499
00:18:54,073 –> 00:18:54,174
[ramsey_d_smith]: so
500
00:18:54,615 –> 00:18:54,715
[steve_vernon]: to
501
00:18:55,165 –> 00:18:56,455
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
502
00:18:55,676 –> 00:18:59,803
[steve_vernon]: follow on to that let me put
it in terms that is circulating in the
503
00:18:59,843 –> 00:19:06,034
[steve_vernon]: financial industry lately is longevity risk and
there’s a lot of focus on longevity risk
504
00:19:06,154 –> 00:19:10,040
[steve_vernon]: and there’s a narrow focus which is
on outliving your money and that’s you know
505
00:19:10,080 –> 00:19:14,328
[steve_vernon]: buying annuities and soul security all that
but i think it’s a broad risk if
506
00:19:14,368 –> 00:19:19,175
[steve_vernon]: you take a broad view of longevity
risk it anything that can go wrong with
507
00:19:19,295 –> 00:19:22,800
[steve_vernon]: living a long time and when you
think about that as longevity
508
00:19:22,435 –> 00:19:22,796
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
509
00:19:22,770 –> 00:19:23,550
[paul_tyler]: yeah
510
00:19:22,880 –> 00:19:23,100

591
00:22:18,804 –> 00:22:18,945

593
00:22:23,925 –> 00:22:24,088
[steve_vernon]: okay
594
00:22:24,422 –> 00:22:24,603
[naomi_karp]: been
595
00:22:24,475 –> 00:22:25,495
[ramsey_d_smith]: oh
596
00:22:24,480 –> 00:22:25,440
[paul_tyler]: oh
597
00:22:24,663 –> 00:22:27,788
[naomi_karp]: a former fed at a federal financial
598
00:22:27,600 –> 00:22:28,290
[paul_tyler]: oh
599
00:22:27,848 –> 00:22:30,072
[naomi_karp]: break tory agency i think there
600
00:22:30,030 –> 00:22:30,750
[paul_tyler]: yeah
601
00:22:30,272 –> 00:22:35,320
[naomi_karp]: is a lot of concern in a
number of agencies about the number of people
602
00:22:35,361 –> 00:22:40,709
[naomi_karp]: who are being financially exploited and scamed
and there’s also a lot of learn about
603
00:22:40,730 –> 00:22:45,878
[naomi_karp]: the fact that people are just living
so long and their health care and financial
604
00:22:46,159 –> 00:22:51,407
[naomi_karp]: needs are really increasing when they get
up into the eighties nineties and then even
605
00:22:51,487 –> 00:22:55,694
[naomi_karp]: all the cent arians we have now
um so i think there’s a lot of
606
00:22:55,815 –> 00:22:58,559
[naomi_karp]: receptivity to this kind of thing i
607
00:22:58,562 –> 00:22:58,846
[steve_vernon]: oh
608
00:22:58,699 –> 00:23:03,467
[naomi_karp]: don’t think that it in any way
runs a fowl of any concerns of any
609
00:23:03,608 –> 00:23:04,429
[naomi_karp]: regulator that
610
00:23:04,382 –> 00:23:05,012
[steve_vernon]: yeah
611
00:23:04,489 –> 00:23:09,918
[naomi_karp]: i’ve seen um when i was at
the consumer financial protection bureau we were also
612
00:23:10,058 –> 00:23:14,205
[naomi_karp]: thinking along these lines and we were
thinking about how do we help those people
613
00:23:14,786 –> 00:23:19,474
[naomi_karp]: who manage someone else’s money when the
person can’t do it themselves and we actually
614
00:23:19,554 –> 00:23:23,921
[naomi_karp]: had put out a set of guides
called managing someone else’s money and it was
615
00:23:24,022 –> 00:23:29,351
[naomi_karp]: just to help those people understand their
fiduciary duties and the practical things they have
616
00:23:29,411 –> 00:23:33,698
[naomi_karp]: to do so i think there’s a
great fit between the thinking ahead road map
617
00:23:34,118 –> 00:23:39,327
[naomi_karp]: that helps people get up to that
point of doing the planning and having that
618
00:23:40,309 –> 00:23:45,043
[naomi_karp]: sherry or that advocate who’s going to
step into their shoes and then making sure
619
00:23:45,104 –> 00:23:51,216
[naomi_karp]: that once they do do it right
and that people are protected you know through
620
00:23:51,256 –> 00:23:52,259
[naomi_karp]: the rest of their lives
621
00:23:53,142 –> 00:23:53,202
[paul_tyler]: he
622
00:23:53,222 –> 00:23:53,242
[naomi_karp]: i
623
00:23:53,283 –> 00:23:53,504
[paul_tyler]: wasn’t
624
00:23:53,302 –> 00:23:53,723
[naomi_karp]: think there’s
625
00:23:53,545 –> 00:23:53,706

that the challenge of retirement is part financial
637
00:24:13,249 –> 00:24:17,916
[ramsey_d_smith]: maybe twenty five or thirty per cent
and then the other vast majority of it
638
00:24:17,976 –> 00:24:20,741
[ramsey_d_smith]: really comes down to behavioral issues um

00:24:20,612 –> 00:24:20,855
[steve_vernon]: yes
640
00:24:21,983 –> 00:24:26,991

things and so tools that actually take a
641
00:24:27,052 –> 00:24:32,260
[ramsey_d_smith]: wholistic approach to addressing those issues addressing
the broader issue i think are super important
