(15,415 posts)I've been told I need to sign up 3 months before I actually retire, or start the process three months before.
Be careful where you get info re Medicare. I went to a "presentation" at my credit union, they guy made it sound like there was one expensive stupid option and one cheap smart option. I was convinced by the time I left but since I still had time, I set about to dig a little deeper and learned my Credit Union owns/sells/has some financial connection to the cheaper smarter option. I was disappointed and surprised.
Everyday I think of something new I want to do when I retire. If I'm bored, it will be because I'm lazy (which I'm afraid I am), not because there is nothing interesting to do. (learn to play the fiddle, or piano, spend more time at silver smithing and glass blowing, give bridge lessons in my house for my kid and friends, clean my damned closets, make a modern quilt for each of my nieces and nephews, build a house on our property in Moab, or sell the property in Moab and design and build a home in Italy or France. . . .
