If I want to model an early retirement, prior to age 65, how do i compensate for the increase in health insurance that results from leaving an employer health plan? Some expenses would also decrease such as clothing, comute cost, etc.
Is it a matter of playing with the budgetary consumption numbers to match the new suggested consumption?
