Healthcare costs and length of life – be sure you have thought long and hard about these two very real issues facing current and future retirees. People are living longer than they ever have before and with the cost of healthcare around $1,200-$1,800 a month, retiring early may be much trickier than you may have ever thought.

The rising cost of college for your kids, upgrades to your current home or perhaps moving to a larger home during your 50s could side-track an early retirement. Don’t wait. Hatch and start executing your financial plan now to ensure your funds last.
