#291 - Before It Breaks: Spotting Financial Red Flags in Aging Parents

Nobody plans for the call—but sooner or later, it comes.

In this episode of the Wicked Pissah Podcast, Chris Boyd sits down with award-winning financial journalist and author Beth Pinsker

to talk about the moment everything shifts—when you go from “concerned family member” to full-on financial caregiver.

Drawing from her book My Mother’s Money, Beth shares the early warning signs families often overlook, why having the “right” documents doesn’t always mean you’re actually prepared, and how quickly the emotional and financial weight can hit.

As Beth puts it: “Financial red flags come first… handling money is a complicated higher function.”

This is a real-world conversation about what advisors need to understand—and what families wish they knew sooner.

If your clients have aging parents (and they do), this episode isn’t optional—it’s essential listening.
