Those who retire in reasonably good health may not be inclined to think about health care crises, but they could occur sooner rather than later – and they could be costly. As Forbes notes, five esteemed economists recently published a white paper called The Lifetime Medical Spending of Retirees; their analysis found that between age 70 and death, the average Ameri- can senior pays $122,000 for medical care, much of it from per- sonal savings.

  study from the Department of Health and Human Services, the av-     
   erage American who turned 65 in 2015 could end up paying          $138,000 in total long-term care costs. Long-term care insurance is expensive, though, and can be difficult to obtain. One other end-of-life expense many retirees overlook: funeral and burial costs. Pre-planning to address this expense may help surviving spouses and children. Rising consumer prices. Since 1968, consumer inflation has av- eraged around 4 percent a year. Does that sound bearable? At a glance, maybe it does. Over time, however, 4 percent inflation can really do some damage to purchasing power. In 20 years, contin- ued 4 percent inflation would make today’s dollar worth $.46. Re- Kendall Harrison Karla M.
