Medical expenses are my biggest concern. Husband is disabled and is under constant medical care.
My employee insurance has been great. While we pay a lot in premiums, our co pays are ridiculously low. (A two month stay at UCSF for husband spinal surgery cost $10.00 co pay).
On the other hand, due to health issues, we won't be traveling during retirement and have a simple lifestyle. I hope that balances things out.
Thanks for the insights.
