Welcome to the Pre-Retirement Life Stage discussion today with Lonnie Thibodeau. 00:00:37.840 |
He's going to talk about Medicare, and we'll be turning it over to him shortly. 00:00:41.800 |
But at the beginning here, I'd like to talk about a few things. 00:00:46.480 |
It'll appear on Zoom on the Boglehead channel. 00:00:49.320 |
So if you could, please keep your video turned off. 00:00:52.840 |
Secondly, we're going to be having questions. 00:01:00.680 |
And if they look like they need to be asked, the moderators will ask Lonnie about them. 00:01:08.160 |
We're going to use during the question and answer period the raise hand function. 00:01:12.540 |
And if you look at your Zoom control, you should have a control to raise your hand. 00:01:17.880 |
And if you want to try doing that right now, you can just check that out if you've never 00:01:23.280 |
A whole bunch of people would raise hands, which is good. 00:01:26.600 |
And then you can hit the lower hand on the control also to lower it. 00:01:36.860 |
So this afternoon, our meeting will be hosted by Lonnie Thibodeau. 00:01:41.800 |
He's a insurance agent that owns his own agency. 00:01:48.320 |
Most of his career was spent in the aviation industry. 00:01:55.760 |
And he loves his job and loves helping people. 00:02:00.440 |
Lonnie, if you want to share your screen, you can share your slides. 00:02:10.160 |
We're going to have a poll so Lonnie can get an idea of what we're dealing with here. 00:02:13.240 |
And in order to finish the poll and see the results, you have to answer all the questions. 00:02:17.480 |
So if you could, just wanted to see, you know, what people's situation is. 00:02:24.520 |
So we'll give everyone a couple of minutes there to do the poll. 00:02:38.920 |
So you should start seeing some numbers come in as people answer it. 00:02:41.520 |
You won't actually be able to answer the poll, but you'll see the numbers come in. 00:04:08.840 |
Yeah, I think I'm going to take a screenshot of the poll results. 00:04:17.840 |
And I'll share the results so everyone can see where we stand. 00:04:18.840 |
It looks like we have a number of people that are going to be eligible soon and a few people 00:04:21.840 |
And I'll share the results so everyone can see where we stand.
