How Everyday Choices Impact Envista Holdings Employees’ Paths to a Stronger Retirement

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for Envista Holdings Envista Holdings does not have a publicly listed healthcare provider; instead, employees typically receive health insurance benefits through various commercial insurance plans. As a significant player in the dental products and technology industry, Envista provides its workforce with access to adequate healthcare services, albeit the specific insurers may differ based on the plans offered. Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 In 2026, Envista Holdings employees may face significant increases in healthcare costs due to rising premiums and shifting employer strategies. With anticipated healthcare premium hikes in the ACA marketplace often exceeding 60% in critical areas, employees are advised to prepare for potential impacts on their out-of-pocket expenses. The expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies may further exacerbate these financial challenges, pushing many employees to shoulder more substantial costs unless proactive steps are taken to manage their health benefits effectively. As a result, understanding upcoming changes in health plans and optimizing their choices for 2026 will be crucial in navigating this evolving landscape. Click here to learn more

Maintaining Your Standard of Living: Small Habits That Build Long-Term Wealth

by Brent Wolf, CPA, Wealth Enhancement

I recently spoke with a client who had carefully built significant savings through years of consistent fiscal discipline. When his children remarked that “baby boomers had it easy,” he simply replied, “We just learned to live within our means.” That mindset remains just as valuable today for Envista Holdings employees preparing for retirement.

The Hidden Cost of Convenience

Modern conveniences can quietly erode long-term wealth. Services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub can make life easier, but research shows that delivery orders can cost between 80% and 105% more than picking up the same meal yourself. ¹  These additional costs often stem from:

• - Restaurants increasing menu prices by 20–30% for delivery app orders ²

• - Added platform service and delivery fees

• - Extra taxes layered into the total

• - Tips on top of already inflated costs

Essentially, you’re paying more for someone else to handle the task—not for a better product.

How Small Savings Compound Over Time

Choosing to cook at home or pick up meals rather than relying on delivery can save roughly $250 per week, or about $13,000 per year. ³  Over two decades, that amounts to $260,000 in cash savings. If those savings were invested and grew at a 10% annual rate, they could potentially reach $687,300. ⁴  That's a lot of savings for an incremental change, enough to substantially influence retirement readiness for many Envista Holdings employees.

Building Better Money Habits

Reducing unnecessary spending doesn’t mean giving up what you enjoy. Consider these practical steps:

• - Call restaurants directly and pick up your meal instead of ordering through apps

• - Prepare more meals at home

• - Walk to nearby restaurants instead of paying for delivery

Long-term fiscal strength often results from steady, thoughtful habits that align with broader goals—something Envista Holdings employees can integrate into their daily routines.

Taking the Next Step

Growth rarely comes from one major decision; it’s built through consistent, intentional behaviors. By rethinking spending habits and redirecting small savings, you can make meaningful progress toward long-term retirement goals.

The Retirement Group can help Envista Holdings employees understand how everyday savings may support their broader strategy. To discuss how these principles can fit into your retirement planning, call (800) 900-5867 to speak with a financial professional today.
