Avoid Costly Medicare Mistakes | Most Retirees Don't See Coming
Most pre-retirees and retirees do not get blindsided by the market first. They get blindsided by taxes, Medicare surcharges, and poor withdrawal timing. This workshop shows you where the trap is and how to plan around it.
A retirement account balance does not tell you what you will keep. The real question for pre-retirees and retirees is how future income hits taxes, Social Security, and Medicare.

Many pre-retirees and retirees do not know Medicare premiums increase when income crosses certain thresholds. A single income event can cost more than expected.

One withdrawal can trigger ordinary income tax, more Social Security taxation, and higher Medicare costs at the same time.

Waiting too long to plan leaves fewer options. Large future required distributions can push pre-retirees and retirees into brackets they never expected.
