Everything you need to know about the once-per-year IRA rollover rule.

The once-per-year rule means that IRA owners cannot complete more than one 60-day IRA rollover within a 365-day period.

A lot of people wait until the last minute to think about Medicare — and that’s where costly mistakes happen.
Missing your enrollment window, choosing a plan based only on premium, assuming Medicare covers everything, or overlooking prescription coverage can all lead to higher expenses and limited access to care.

Your Medicare choices affect your premiums, your doctors, your prescriptions, and your long‑term retirement budget. That’s why comparing Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage carefully is so important. Neither option is automatically better — the right fit depends on your health needs, preferred providers, travel habits, and financial goals.

Working with a Medicare professional can help you compare plans side by side, check your doctors and prescriptions, and avoid penalties so you can enroll with confidence.
