It’s important to calculate how Social Security and Medicare fit into your financial life. A Charles Stephen advisor — and expert in this arena — can help you decide.
Mandatory Medicare
You’re required to enroll in Medicare if you plan on using any sort of insurance after age 65.
Spouses & Social Security
With one or multiple career tracks, your spouse’s age and work history are important for your benefits.
What Age is Best?
Social Security benefits can kick in early or later, depending on your situation.
Medicare, A-D
Hospitalization is just one part of Medicare. The rest of your health care depends on three other parts.
