The greatest risk to a baby boomer’s portfolio may not come in the form of rampant inflation and bear markets. It might be in the financial decisions you make while cognitively diminished.

And according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College, “A crucial characteristic of cognitive impairment is that people are usually unaware that they are slipping.”
