We were 60 and 58 when we retired in 2000. We had always maxed out 401k at work. Plus we didn't spend a lot on things we didn't need.
Insurance was cheaper in those days and we didn't and don't have medical issues. In those days I figured a 10 percent increase in premiums each year. We also made use of the medical savings plan that was available then.
I can tell you firstly 10 percent increases was to low, actual was closer to 15 percent increase.
I don't have a clue what ACA will do for you. 3 million people have signed up so it seems to do something for a lot of people without insurance.
If we had to do Doctor appointments every 2 to 4 month, I don't think we would be doing 5 and 6 month winter RVing. I do know people that just go to Doctors in the area they will be RVing for a few months based on recommendations from their usual Doctor.
Myself, a Doctor is a Doctor, but my wife likes her Doctor very much. Everything depends on something.
