Abstract
With baby-boomers approaching their retirement age, the financial security of elderly Americans has become increasingly crucial for both policy-makers and retirees themselves. Based on the data from the Health and Retirement Survey (HRS), this dissertation examines how healthcare costs and housing affect retirees' saving and investment decisions.
