Social Security and Medicare decisions aren’t just paperwork — they directly impact your taxes, income, investment withdrawals, and long-term retirement security.

Small timing mistakes can cost thousands. Smart coordination can extend the life of your portfolio.

In this one-hour session, we’ll break it down in plain English — no product pitches, no sales pressure, just practical education.

What You’ll Learn:

• How Social Security filing timing affects lifetime income
• The difference between full retirement age and delaying benefits
• How provisional income can trigger unexpected Social Security taxes
• Why 401(k) and IRA withdrawals can increase your Medicare premiums
• Understanding Medicare Parts A, B, C &amp; D — what matters and what doesn’t
• How to avoid IRMAA surcharges and unnecessary premium increases
• How Social Security, taxes, and healthcare decisions work together

These decisions ripple into:
✔ Investment strategy
✔ Tax planning
✔ Withdrawal sequencing
✔ Estate and legacy planning

Whether you’re approaching retirement or already there, this workshop will help you make informed, confident decisions.

This is a purely educational event. No products will be sold.
