How Can I Afford The Proper Health Care In Retirement?
- According to Investopedia: “A 65-Year-Old Retired Couple in 2020 will need $295,000 (saved net after-tax) for medical expenses in retirement! * Yikes!
- Medicare may pay for SOME healthcare spending in retirement, but it does not pay for all of it.
- Medicare does NOT pay for most Long-Term Care Services or personal care– such as help with bathing or for supervision (Often Referred to as Custodial Care)

What can you do to protect yourself from Health Care Costs in Retirement?
Plenty:
- You can Self-Insure but be prepared to sock away $295,000 or more just for health care.
- You can buy an Expensive Long Term Care Insurance Policy
- You can leverage other assets such as your home equity using a HECEM Loan

How Can I Deal With The Effects Of Market Volatility In Retirement?
As a Financial Advisor I can tell you that most of my clients are very aggressive investors… When the market is up! 😆
But everyone gets real conservative when things start to drop.
When you are younger and have 10, 15, 0r 20 years ahead of you it is easy to take the ups with the downs.
But when you get close to retirement, all of the rules change.
I am not saying you should stop ALL of your investing for growth, but you do NEED to protect a portion of your money from market volatility.
In this IMPORTANT video, I spell out why you simply can not ignore this problem.
