Medicare Open Enrollment runs from October 15 to December 7 each year: a defined window to review your coverage and make updates if needed.

This year, some Medicare enrollees may see changes involving prescription drug coverage, provider networks, or out-of-pocket costs. That’s one reason it may be worth taking a closer look before automatically renewing current coverage.

Even a simple review of costs, prescriptions, and provider access can help clarify whether current coverage still fits your needs heading into the new year.

Call McIntire Retirement Services at 419-332-0532 with any questions.

Having multiple retirement accounts is one thing. Getting them to work together is another.

Your 401(k), Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and taxable savings can each play a different role in retirement. And the order in which you save, invest, and eventually withdraw from those accounts can affect taxes, future growth, and how long your savings may last.

The goal? A coordinated strategy that looks at the bigger picture, including income needs, investments, taxes, risk tolerance, and long-term goals.

Investor sentiment may say one thing, but investor behavior can tell a different story. 📊

As attention turns toward the Fed’s next meeting, questions around interest rates, inflation, and the upcoming election are back in focus. But rate decisions don’t always show up in everyday finances immediately, and markets can move long before the full impact is felt.

That’s why it’s important to keep short-term headlines in perspective and stay focused on a financial strategy built to account for changing markets, interest rates, and economic conditions along the way.

Healthcare costs in retirement can go far beyond Medicare premiums and routine medical expenses. 🏥

A long-term care stay could potentially cost $100,000+ per year, and those expenses may need to be covered much more quickly than other costs spread throughout retirement.

Planning ahead for the possibility of long-term care is an important part of understanding the true cost of healthcare in retirement.
