π Retirement Reality Check
When planning for retirement, many people focus on income, investments, and Social Security. But one of the largest expenses retirees face is healthcare.
Fidelity estimates the average retiree will need $185,500 to cover healthcare expenses in retirement, even with Medicare. And that estimate doesn't include costs like long-term care, dental, or vision expenses.
A well-rounded retirement plan should account for more than just your monthly living expenses.
