    Growing retirement spending more than inflation annually

    Posted: 21 Oct 2019 06:03 PM PDT

    I was talking with a coworker who retired five years ago and decided to come back to work last year. They said there were two reasons - 1) they didn't know what to do with their time and 2) the health costs ended up being $500 more per month than anticipated for a total of $2,500 / month.

    I was a bit surprised by the $2,500 / month number and started digging into the cost of insurance vs age and it seems that insurance is an expense that out paces inflation which made me curious how to consider a cost that would grow beyond inflation annually when it comes to finding your FI number.

    Using the 4% SWR (or pick your favorite number), which grows your total expenses at inflation, how much contingency would one have to add to account for an expense ($700 / month) that grows beyond inflation (6% a year Medicare kicks in) assuming the rest of your expenses grew with inflation?
