It is no surprise that health care costs are growing, but some people fail to consider the rising cost when planning for retirement. That was a key take-away for Matt Chope, CFP® who recently attended the Raymond James winter symposium at the Raymond James home office in St. Petersburg, Florida. This invitation-only event brought some of the leaders in the industry up-to-date on new tax laws, Medicare and Social Security planning, investment markets and the global economy. Matt said he was exposed to new ideas and came away from the trip with a reminder for his clients to adequately budget today for the health care costs of tomorrow.
