In Part 2 of my Medicare journey, I’m sharing what happened after I completed the enrollment process — and what I didn’t expect.
Turning 65 is more than a birthday milestone. It’s deadlines, decisions, and learning an entirely new system of healthcare coverage. As someone who has been self-employed for decades, I didn’t have an HR department guiding me through Medicare. I had to figure it out — and I’m documenting the journey to help others who may feel just as overwhelmed.
In this episode, we talk about:
• My personal experience signing up for Medicare
• Understanding Medicare Parts A and B
• Why supplemental insurance is critical
• The limitations of original Medicare
• How health challenges can complicate decisions
• Why community advice and shared experiences matter
• The importance of staying informed as we age
Medicare is not something you want to ignore until the last minute. There are timelines. There are coverage gaps. And there are important choices that can affect both your health and your finances.
If you’re approaching 65 — or helping a parent, spouse, or friend navigate this process — this episode will give you a real-life perspective from someone going through it right now.
I’d love to hear your Medicare story. What surprised you most? Let’s learn from each other.
