Many people believe that all they need to do is sign up for Social Security sometime after the age of 62 and Medicare once they turn 65 and there is very little they need to think about in making these decisions. However, if people want to get the most money possible from Social Security and spend the least amount of money while getting the maximum benefits from their Medicare, they need to do some planning BEFORE they ever sign up for either program.
Below you will find links to a group of articles that you will want to read and think about as you get close to your retirement age. In addition, I want to mention that the rules regarding these programs, and the costs involved with Medicare, change nearly every year. It is important to make sure you get the latest information possible before you make any final decisions.
