This month's column

Hello everyone! There's a lot of news flying around the world, but are you all enjoying your days?

Today, I've put together some thoughts on what we Japanese people living in the U.S. should consider, based on what I learned from my recent interview at the elderly group home " Nagomi Home ."

Retirement challenges unique to those who have emigrated abroad

I can't think of the English words

Challenges unique to international marriages

We often hear that as people get older, they become reluctant to speak English. In fact, this seems to be a fairly serious problem.
Japanese people living in the U.S. often grow old here and only speak Japanese, which makes it difficult to communicate with their American-born family members. This can cause not just inconvenience, but serious problems, and both parties feel very lonely.
Japanese senior care facilities like Nagomi Home are said to be there to support these unique challenges faced by expatriates, offering assistance such as acting as interpreters for seniors and their families.

Challenges unique to international marriages

For example, there are occasional cases where a wife develops dementia and no longer recognizes her husband, resulting in divorce from her American husband. In such cases, the complexities unique to expatriates become apparent, starting with divorce proceedings for a person with dementia, whether or not they can return to Japan, and the daily care they will have to provide.
Furthermore, there are unique American rules that can become an issue, such as whether the necessary Power of Attorney is properly assigned in advance when dementia develops. Whether or not these issues are properly understood and addressed in advance makes a huge difference in the burden on the family providing care.

Make sure you are properly prepared in case you end up staying in the United States

During this interview, I learned that some people were even prevented from flying due to doctor's orders because of their physical condition. I sometimes hear comments like, "If I become senile, I can just go back to Japan," but it seems it's not always that simple.
If you've been living in the U.S. for a long time, it seems important to do what you can while you can, with the resolve and preparation for possibly staying in America, or if you do stay.
So, where should you start with the resolve and preparation?

Elderly care facilities and community contribution

The biggest takeaway from this reporting trip was that "senior care facilities exist not only for the elderly themselves, but also for their families and the surrounding communities." I strongly encourage everyone to visit senior care facilities and services as early as possible, and to volunteer. By doing so, you can learn what happens when dementia develops in America (unlike in Japan), what is needed, and how to recognize the unique challenges faced by those in international marriages and those who have emigrated. I also hope that our efforts will raise awareness of the importance of Japanese senior care services and facilities throughout the United States, leading to their wider adoption. Recently, I volunteered to prepare lunch boxes for seniors in my hometown of San Diego. There, I witnessed the reassuring sight of elderly people volunteering to prepare lunch boxes for other seniors.





I also delivered the finished bento boxes to the rooms of elderly care facilities, and I got a glimpse inside the rooms, which gave me a great opportunity to think about what I want to do and what I can do in the future

To cope with high long-term care costs

This was my third time covering senior living facilities in the United States, and the topic that always comes up is the high cost.
Currently, it's difficult to afford unless you have insurance or a lot of money.
That's why long-term care insurance is such a useful retirement tool.
I hold monthly seminars on long-term care insurance, explaining it clearly with case studies and actual figures, so please come and listen.

General flow of financial planning

1 , Interview

Financial planning is not just about numbers. The first step is to carefully listen to and deeply understand your current situation, future goals, anxieties and dreams, and your loved ones

2, Estimate

There isn't just one way to do financial planning; there are 100 different plans for 100 different people. Based on the information we gather from you, we will create a concrete proposal and explain it clearly and carefully through a presentation. Please feel free to ask questions until you are completely satisfied. Together, we will customize the best plan for you

3, Start of procedure

If you are satisfied with the proposed plan, we will proceed with the actual procedures. After preparing the application documents, we will submit them to the insurance company and await approval. We will act as an intermediary between you and the insurance company throughout this process, supporting you to ensure that the procedures proceed smoothly

4, Procedure complete

From application to the issuance of the insurance policy, we work closely with our customers and insurance companies to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible. Even after the contract is finalized, we regularly review the contract details according to your life stage and offer plan changes if necessary

 

When I started learning finance,

People don't plan to fail, they just fail to plan.

Those words really resonated with me. Starting what you can as soon as possible will yield better results than starting later. I would be happy to help with that

Customer Feedback

I met Ai-san through a financial seminar. From our very first meeting, she explained things very clearly, and it was immediately clear that she was passionate about her work. She answers any questions accurately and carefully, and she has been very supportive of me, who knew nothing about financial planning. She also clearly explains how to fill out the complex paperwork that comes with it, and I feel confident that everything will be alright if I leave it to Ai-san

A 30-something resident of Oregon

As a self-employed individual, I had to manage my retirement and other finances myself, and Ai-san provided me with support. I am very happy that she created a savings account for me that includes life insurance. She is a very friendly and kind person! Thank you so much!!!

A 20-something resident of California

Ai-san introduced me to insurance a few years ago, and recently I had some questions I wanted to ask, and she was very kind and immediately scheduled a Zoom meeting, which was a great help

They always listen attentively and empathetically. Their responses are quick, so I feel confident entrusting them with my needs
