Where our information comes from
Retirement information is full of outdated numbers, misunderstood rules and advice repeated so many times it starts sounding like law.
We try to go back to the source.
Primary sources
- Social Security Administration
- IRS
- CMS
- Medicare.gov
- Medicaid.gov
- Healthcare.gov
- Department of Labor
- State government agencies when state rules matter
Social media and community discussions are useful for something different.
They show us what real people are confused about.
They give us questions like:
"Why would a smaller house cost more?"
"Is the Social Security money they withheld gone forever?"
"Doesn't Medicare pay for the nursing home?"
Those are excellent questions.
The answers still come from authoritative sources.
