"Caregiving Cost Me Everything" — Why Amy Goyer Went Bankrupt Caring for Family

In this episode of The Caregivers Podcast, host Dr. Mark sits down with caregiving expert Amy Goyer to discuss the hidden financial crises that often accompany long-term family caregiving. Drawing from her own experience caring for her parents and sister—which ultimately resulted in personal bankruptcy despite early planning—Amy outlines how daily care decisions compound into major financial strain.

This conversation explores the gap between standard retirement planning and the realities of chronic illness, the hidden expenses of aging in place, and practical strategies caregivers can use to protect their own financial future.
