Equipping Points:
One major (yet often overlooked!) expense in retirement is healthcare. Especially if you are retiring early, healthcare can be a huge expense as you bridge the gap between your working years and when eligible for Medicare. Not only will you have an increased monthly cost, but you may need to budget for additional medical costs as time goes on or even long-term care needs.
In today’s episode, Eric will give us an inside look at the healthcare-related items you need to think about as you approach your retirement years. Navigating these costs and how to provide for them can be tricky. Reach out to a financial advisor like Eric to make sure your financial plan accounts for these needs accordingly.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- How Medicare fits in your retirement plan.
- What happens if you retire early?
- Dealing with unexpected medical expenses.
- Planning for long-term care needs.
