ARE YOU READY?
Maximizing Your Benefits:
• Medicare
• Social Security
• Home Equity Options
This is not your parents’ retirement! As boomers are moving into retirement, they face numerous decisions and questions about when and how to start Medicare and Social Security. They may be faced with housing decisions – should they downsize, relocate, or is there an opportunity to use the “nest egg” of their home equity to “age in place”?
Retirees are living longer than ever before and longevity risk is a real concern.
• Will they outlive their retirement savings?
• Will Social Security and Medicare face cuts in the future?
• Can they count on these programs as older generations did?
