@Luvsmyfam   Oh good.  Now you can have medical insurance with Medicare.  That should be a relief.

@hckynutjohn  I'm going to read your post to my husband tomorrow. Thank you for wanting them to stay safe

I understand the importance of listening to your body with those aches and pains, but now is the time to formulate a solid plan on what you need and what it takes to have that, as well as a financial cushion.

Hi there @Luvsmyfam 

Could swear I just read 1 of your other posts where you told you age! I won't repeat it, gentlemen do not do that. I however do know this, at the age you posted you certainly should be on Medicare.

I doubt any part time jobs comes with a Medical Plan. I can tell you this. The company where I worked for 33 years had a great Medical Plan for most employees.

 However! If they decided to work past age 65, they were no longer eligible to stay on the Company Plan. They either accepted Medicare or they had no Medical Insurance Plan.

Why are you not insured with Medicare since you are of age?

Sounds like you need to re-do your financial life, but it will help you..

I honestly don't know anything about your life or your living situation, but it occurred to me ....  is it possible you could have a roommate?  If not where you live, somewhere else?  Not sure if anyone else has aleady suggested it, but it would dramatically cut your monthly living expenses ... at least consider it.

@Luvsmyfam  I don't often comment on things like this, but it's pretty surprising that you would disappear from this thread that you started.  There are six pages of replies from people offering advice to you.

I think many of us are concerned that you don't seem to have health insurance ("what I wouldn't give for health insurance" in message 5 on page 1) when you are 66 and qualify for Medicare.  Would you please answer at least that question?

If @Luvsmyfam  didn't want traditional Medicare, which is sometimes a little pricey, there are Medicare Advantage plans that have a $0 premium.  Heck, covering even the basics would be a huge relief!

@NickNack , great post.  I, too, noticed the same thing.  Asking for advice/opinions with posters taking the time to answer, then hearing no response.
