Just
as your health care needs can change from year to year, so do Medicare plans.
And not all plans offer the same benefits. Open Enrollment is your chance to review your Medicare coverage options, and find the best
fit for you. Compare Plans
Here are some things to consider when shopping for Medicare
coverage:
Visit Medicare.gov through December 7 to
compare plans and make any changes. If you decide to enroll in a new plan,
your new coverage will start January 1. Sincerely, The Medicare Team |

How to Figure Out What You’ll Need to Comfortably Retire
If you want to retire happy, the first step is figuring out
how much money you'll need.
Stacy Johnson • January 8,
2021 • Advertising
Disclosure
Whether you plan to spend your retirement sitting on the
front porch or traveling the world, one thing’s for sure: You’re going to need
money. In fact, you’re going to need enough savings and/or income to keep you
alive and well potentially for decades.
But exactly how much is that?
There’s no one answer to this most critical of questions,
because how much you’ll need depends on various factors, from where you live to
how you live. But while there’s no definite answer, there are ways to home in
on the number you should shoot for based on your personal situation.
In this week’s “Money!” podcast, we’re
going to give you some tools to help you find your number.
As usual, my co-host will be financial journalist Miranda Marquit.
And joining us this week is special guest Len Penzo of LenPenzo.com. Len’s an engineer who’s mastered
the math. Proof? He’s about to retire at age 57.

Not
familiar with podcasts?
A podcast is basically a radio show you can listen to
anytime, either by downloading it to your smartphone or other device, or by
listening online.
They’re totally free. They can be any length (ours are
typically about a half-hour), feature any number of people and cover any topic
you can possibly think of. You can listen at home, in the car, while jogging
or, if you’re like me, when riding your bike.
You can listen to our latest podcasts here or download
them to your phone from any number of places, including Apple, Spotify, RadioPublic, Stitcher and RSS.
If you haven’t listened to a podcast yet, give it a try,
then subscribe to ours. You’ll be glad you did!
