At Bankers Life, our insurance agents and associates witness firsthand the impact that Alzheimer’s and dementia have on our customers, their families and their caregivers.

    Our family has been working with Nate for our financial planning for almost 8 years. We were skeptical at first because of how young he was. All I can say is it has been an awesome experience. Nate and his team are incredible to deal with. There is always someone available to help when we need something and when we have specific questions or concerns Nate is always quick to get us scheduled for a meeting. Highly recommend! Thank you for taking care of us and the people we have sent over to you.

    When I first was introduced to Nate, I had a vague idea of what my financial goals were, but no clear plan. A few years later of open communication and a steady commitment, the road map is clear!

When to Sign Up for Medicare If You’re Still Working at 65
"Turning 65 is a significant milestone, not just for making another trip around the sun but also for unlocking Medicare eligibility. As the federal health program for more than 68.5 million Americans, Medicare is a vital component of retirement planning.",You must pay a premium: Compare the costs and benefits of your employer plan versus Medicare to determine which makes the most sense for you.,"You contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA): Once enrolled in any part of Medicare, you can no longer contribute to an HSA.","If your employer has 20 or more employees, you can delay Part B without a penalty and use your employer’s coverage as your primary. Most people enroll in premium-free Part A but skip Part B to circumvent paying the premium.","If your employer has fewer than 20 employees, consider signing up for Medicare Parts A and B, making your employer’s coverage secondary. Failure to enroll on time may result in gaps in coverage and penalties.",Medicare Part D (Prescription) can be delayed without penalty if your employer provides creditable coverage.,"Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage) is an all-in-one alternative to original Medicare. Part C offers the benefits of Parts A and B, along with additional services, including prescription, dental, vision, and hearing care. Using Part C with an employer’s plan can lead to overlaps or conflicts of coverage.","Medicare Supplement, also known as Medigap, helps cover deductibles, coinsurance, and other out-of-pocket expenses.

Finding Balance: How Financial Therapy Can Transform Your Money Mindset
Managing money can be a significant source of stress in life. For some, a simple tweak in their budget can bring clarity and stability. For others, financial challenges may stem from more complex issues, such as changes in financial circumstances, unhealthy spending habits, or emotional barriers. These difficulties can also impact relationships with partners and hinder progress toward achieving financial wellness. Moreover, our cultural background, religious beliefs, and gender identity often shape how we perceive and interact with money.
