Hi guys and gals,
I just intro'd myself on "hi I am..." because I was hoping to learn more about how everyone budgets for healthcare in ER? I'm 38 and hope to retire (if everything remains on track ) in 12 years. What I'm struggling a bit with is how to forecast what I will need, in terms of $$, for healthcare? I read an article on CNBC this morning that mentioned needing around $250k, I assume that meant from Medicare age to death...which they said was 87 for me and 89 for my DW. Obviously I assume I will need quite a bit more since I'm trying to retire at 50. Sorry for being long winded but I was just wondering a couple of things.
1) does that figure sound right?
2) how much do you guys plan to spend on healthcare in retirement?
Thanks in advance for any help.
