  1. Hi Liz – I have you on my Facebook ‘feed’. I always enjoy reading what you publish. I have a request: I’m a CPA (in private practice as a consultant) the problem is big now and will get even bigger and that is eldercare financial abuse. I would love the opportunity to ‘preach’ on this subject because if you read the Global report on Fraud latest publication – it is pretty bad. I feel so sorry for people who are too sick or old to take care of their finances and then get defrauded by unscrupulous ‘financial advisers’ or more often family or friends.

    How can all personal finance ‘students’ get this message out? and help the growing number of aging Americans?
