The other thing that many pre-retirees think is that they're expenses
will go down once they get older and stop traveling and having fun.

They don't realize that the cost of that trip to Italy is going to be

to the doctor/hospital.


Between Medicare, a good supplement and prescription plan, our cost is
$600 a month. If I retire, I pay it all.
