We consider each spouse's age, benefit estimate, retirement date, earnings history, and household cash-flow needs rather than using a one-person assumption.

How should healthcare costs fit into retirement spending?
We consider each spouse's age, benefit estimate, retirement date, earnings history, and household cash-flow needs rather than using a one-person assumption.

The goal is not to predict every healthcare expense. It is to identify decisions that deserve attention early enough to evaluate them carefully.
