Look after your health in retirement
Many of us do our best during our youth to look as best we can and take care of our bodies. However, people often stop exercising and taking good care of their health when they reach a certain age. The statistics on this are not good. Worldwide people will need on average 1.8 to 2.4 years of personal care before they die. Those who look after their health and keep in shape as best they can after they retire are better off than those who do not look after their health.
This is one of the worst mistakes you can make since health is a major issue during retirement. Most retirees spend over a quarter million dollars on healthcare during retirement, not including long-term care. While you can offset most or all of these expenses by buying long-term health insurance, the best way to avoid these expenses altogether is to keep as healthy as possible, in particular during your pre-retirement years.
Some of the mistakes people make before they retire include spending their savings. To have a healthy and enjoyable retirement, it’s important to budget before you retire to know how much money is going in and out of your account.
You should also be mindful not to neglect your health since this will impact the amount of money spent on healthcare during retirement.
