Contributed by 1stMill | October 10, 2005 01:02 AM PST

Morningstar recently published an article titled "The Ins and Outs of Long-Term Care Insurance." The article addresses 11 questions you should answer prior to investing in LTC insurance coverage.

Personally I believe that LTC insurance is an expensive, but worthwhile investment. Read Morningstar's article. Learn the specifics of my MetLife LTC coverage.

I helped to publish a website that explains a little about long-term care insurance, and I'm wondering what the ideal age to consider getting it is. For myself, I'm thinking I would wait until I retire and don't have any good prospects (read: children) with whom I can stay for free.
