From the hidden expenses Medicare doesn’t cover to how an HSA can serve as a “stealth Roth,” Jude shares actionable strategies to help you prepare for one of retirement’s biggest financial wildcards. You’ll also learn how tax moves like Roth conversions can unexpectedly impact your Medicare premiums and why it’s crucial to factor healthcare into your overall income plan.
