Episode 202: Health Care Deadlines

Published: Nov. 24, 2020, 2:46 p.m.

I (Shea) have a very vivid memory as a child riding around in my grandfather’s vintage truck and snacking on prunes. He said they were “dessert.” My grandfather did push-ups every morning, took his supplements and didn’t eat much sugar. He also saved his pennies. I wonder what he would think about today’s health care stat:

According to Fidelity research, the cost for health care post-age 65 is $295,000 per couple, excluding long-term care.

Health care is one of the largest expenses that people face in retirement. But don’t despair because there are ways to strategize and fill in the gaps.
