Great article. As a realtor who has a mission to help baby boomers and people with disabilities, I am forever amazed and disgusted at how many senior communities are not truly accessible and very few employ universal design elements and principles. They send countless dollars in advertising campaigns to attract seniors by the "active adult community" charms but put very little planning into helping the individuals stay and thrive in their homes in the unfortunate even that something does happen that might impact their ability to get around. Universal design works for every one and is just a smarter way to build. www.accesshomesnc.com

Easy to say when SS allows coverage of only the most basic essentials, with nothing left over. I fear more than a few of us will indeed be living on ketsup and dogfood in the coming years.

These are great tips. Medical debt is a terrible burden and lessening the impact of medical costs is an important objective for all of us.

I'd like to recommend another useful resource -- "Avoiding and Managing Medical Debt," a free booklet that was co-written by NEFE and Georgetown University. It can be downloaded from the web at www.healthinsuranceinfo.net/nefe , along with two other booklets about personal finance and healthcare.

Thank you for a great article with great tips, and for the chance to share another resource with readers.
