The #1 Medicare mistake I see?

Waiting too long to ask questions.

By the time people start looking into it, they’re already:

• Rushed
• Confused
• Making decisions under pressure

You don’t need to figure everything out today—but you do want to start early.

Even a 10-minute conversation can save a lot of stress later.

If you’re approaching 65, now is the right time to get clarity.

Medicare Supplement vs. Medicare Advantage.

This is where most people get stuck.

Here’s the simplest way to think about it:

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗮𝗽):
• Helps cover out-of-pocket costs Original Medicare doesn’t
• Typically more flexibility with providers

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 (𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗖):
• Bundles coverage into one plan
• Often includes additional benefits

Neither is “better”—it depends on your situation.

If you want help understanding which direction might fit you, send me a message. I’ll explain it without the sales pressure.

Turning 65 in the next few months?

Medicare decisions sneak up faster than most people expect.

Here are 3 things to know right now:

• You don’t get automatically enrolled in every part
• Timing matters (missing your window can cost you)
• Your choices now can affect costs long-term

Most people feel overwhelmed at first—that’s normal.

If you want a simple breakdown of your options before you make any decisions, message me “65” and I’ll send you a quick guide.

❌ MYTH: "Medicare is automatic when I turn 65. I don't need to do anything."

✅ FACT: If you're not already receiving Social Security benefits, Medicare does NOT automatically enroll you — and missing your window can mean lifetime penalties on your premiums.

Here's what your enrollment window looks like:

📅 3 months BEFORE your birthday month
📅 Your birthday month
📅 3 months AFTER your birthday month

That's just 7 months to get it right. Miss it, and you could be paying hundreds of dollars more every single year — permanently.
This is one of the most common and costly mistakes people make when turning 65, and it's completely avoidable with the right guidance.

Driving all over God's green earth today to visit clients before the Annual Enrollment Period begins for Medicare. Good thing it's a open the sunroof kind of day.

One of the first copies of the U.S. Constitution has been recently found and is being put up for auction. I want it.

Anyone have a spare million or so dollars they can lend me?
