Frank Beedle specializes in addressing the healthcare variables that we all face in retirement. It’s important to have an effective plan for approaching how we will pay for our healthcare needs–and even more so during our retirement.
Focus on Healthcare in the Retirement Years
The average 65+ American visits a health care provider 8 times per year. Studies show the average couple needs a lump sum of $293,000 to cover what Medicare leaves behind for the stage of life at age 65 and beyond. That figure represents an alarming risk to income and assets during retirement.
Frank has made it his goal to research and offer the best protection for your health care needs moving forward throughout retirement. He will assess your current coverage (if applicable) and compare the summary of benefits with competitors to reveal the best fit for you based on your needs. Frank will help you move forward with confidence as it relates to your health care needs.
Determining Your Social Security Strategy
For many people, their Social Security benefit represents their largest financial asset. This is not something to approach lightly. There are many questions to consider when determining your strategy: When should I begin? How can I maximize it? How can I know which strategy will fit best with my goals? How does my spouse or ex-spouse’s benefit affect mine? How does the new law (The Bi-Partisan Act) passed in November 2015 change my approach? These are just a few of the things taken into consideration when we educate and advise you regarding your best way forward in claiming Social Security benefits. This service is included in the No Obligation Retirement Review.
