Growing older in retirement often means there will be some health problems along the way. These tend to worsen as you age, leading to more doctor visits. While the tendency is to plan for fun and travel during your retirement years, likely, you may not have calculated how much your health care costs could be.
The average 65-year-old couple, Fidelity says, will spend an average of $315,000 in medical care costs before they die. A healthier person will spend more because of a longer life, and a sickly person will need less.
