I’m an old man now. When I was young, I didn’t set myself up for being older. So, here are some things I recommend doing to protect yourself as time goes by. 

Number 1, you need to have a good doctor – someone you like and can get on the phone. This is very important. 

Number 2, you need to have a good lawyer. Again, this should be someone you can get on the phone and who cares about you. 

Number 3, if you own a home, you need a good handyman. Every day in my home, something new is falling apart. 

Number 4, if you believe in God, you need to have a cleric you can trust. This is important because moral questions arise all the time. 

If you aren’t religious, it’s smart to have a counselor, or someone professional you can speak to about personal issues. Talking about personal stuff with family can easily get out of control. 

Keep all this in mind as time goes on and you’ll be better prepared in life.
