If you're planning on living a long life, make investing in your health a priority. USA Today recently reported that the top retirement concern for people over age 50 is healthcare costs. Growing older and being unhealthy can be financially disastrous. It just makes sense, to take a proactive approach to investing in your health.

      • PLAN WELL:   How does working affect Social Security Survivor Benefits?

        Last week I a listener e-mailed me this question. 

        Here are the facts about Social Security Survivor Benefits that we discuss in this episode

        • The Social Security Administration's resource on the topic
        • If you are under Full Retirement Age (FRA) and receive a survivor benefit it can be reduced based on the income you earn. Here is the current table
        • Once you reach FRA, your survivor benefit will not be reduced
        • A spouse survivor can receive 100% of the worker's benefit at Full Retirement Age (FRA)
        • If you are 60 or over but under FRA, you'll receive between 77-99% of the benefit
        • A surviving spouse of any age with children 16 or under can receive 75% of the worker's benefit
        • Question: What steps are you taking to invest in your health?
