There's a new six-figure reason to keep working out.
A 65-year-old couple in the U.S. retiring this year will need an estimated $220,000 to cover medical expenses, according to a report by Fidelity Investments. Mind you, that's not what you'll need to retire with a roof over your head, a few trips to Florida and the occasional dinner out. That's just what you'll need to pay Medicare premiums and other out-of-pocket costs for doctor bills and prescription drugs. Nursing-home charges not included.
