Retirement can last for a long time—perhaps longer than three decades—and it’s going to be a challenge to make your money last that long, particularly if you’re not in good health.
Even if you are, issues will undoubtedly arise demanding the care of a doctor or, worse, a hospital.
The better your health, both mental and physical, going into retirement, the greater the likelihood that you’ll have fewer instances of problems and be able to come through them more quickly, recovering more thoroughly, than others might who are not in such good shape.
