• Congratulations on your journey, Fred. I was retired more than six years ago, one month before turning 59. I believe I survived a crash landing of my retirement by having a cash cushion of three years of expenses, paying down debt in my early 50s, and then maxing out on retirement savings. I've shared my lessons learned on a YouTube channel for the past 1-1/2 years.

• I concur with Dave's comments above but would add one other national broker Boomer Benefits. I just signed up for a Plan N from Omaha Insurance Co. with them. I'm documenting my journey of Getting Ready for Medicare with a playlist on my YouTube channel. As for why shop for Part D annually? Same reason you want to look at your Advantage every year. Insurers can change these plans every year! Kaiser Family Foundation reports that less than a third of Medicare beneficiaries look at their options. But they could be leaving hundreds and thousands of dollars in the hands of their insurers each year. That's this week's video, which will come out later today. I'm Jim and I was Retired nearly six years ago and just turning 65 in a couple months.
