A surprising number of people approaching retirement think Medicare and Social Security are the same program. They're not.

Social Security helps replace income. Medicare helps manage healthcare costs.

Both play critical roles in retirement, but each has different rules, timelines, and decisions. Understanding how they fit together can help you avoid enrollment mistakes, unexpected expenses, and unnecessary stress.

Retirement is simpler when you understand the entire picture—not just one piece of it.
