Pictures from the Event
This month’s First Friday Networking at Noon event featured a talk on Medicare Basics. Mike Head educated us on a very general overview of Medicare and what options people have when they become eligible. Since Intelligent Investing is a fee-only fiduciary advisor, we do not sell any products, including insurance. However, we think it is prudent to be well-educated on a number of financial planning topics, including Medicare.
