Your Health is your wealth
My friend Alissa Todd is a financial advisor, and her client said something that really stuck with both of us:
“You work your whole life to be able to do whatever you want. Then you get there, and your body can’t move as well.”
Most people focus on financially preparing for retirement, but often overlook the other side of the equation, their health.
And that can be a very expensive mistake.
According to Fidelity’s 2023 Retiree Health Care Cost Estimate, a 65-year-old retiring today can expect to spend $157,500 on medical expenses in retirement.
That number doesn’t include assisted living, home care, or prescription medications.
Here are just a few average monthly costs that Medicare doesn't cover:
-
Assisted living: $5,030
-
Home health aide (44 hrs/week): $4,500
-
Nursing home (private room): $9,000

When health declines, the financial impact isn’t just felt by you.
It can affect your adult children and your entire family.
The good news is there’s a lot you can do now to prevent or minimize those future costs.
