I also learned I have one variant (not two) and was already fairly aware as well due to my family history. I already live as healthy a life as I can and focus on enjoying it. Can't really do much of anything else.
To me the greatest benefit of this knowledge is being able to prepare loved ones and family for the inevitable - beyond that, there's not really much to be done and the knowledge hasn't really impacted me much.
- Retric 9y agoTheir are some financial implications as to how much and what long term care insurance to have.
- fencepost 9y agoRegarding long term care, I have a relative who ended up on disability in their 40s and I pushed them hard to get an appropriate supplemental plan with Medicare to be sure they'd have coverage - eligibility to purchase that coverage is only for 6 months when you first get on disability, then wait until 65. It basically came down to "with your issues, what are the odds you'll need to spend a few weeks in rehab after a bad fall within the next 20-25 years?"
