In honor of financial literacy month, Marcie Nach, CFP^®, volunteered to meet with attendees at the Financial Planning Association’s annual Money Smart event at the Harold Washington Library in Chicago. “I enjoy addressing the questions raised by people who are working hard to understand their situation and help them determine the best path to move forward. I think this is an important resource for the public,” Nach said. “It was a meaningful experience for me and hopefully for all of the participants.”

Money Smart Week is a coordinated effort among a diverse group of 40+ Chicago-area organizations working together to promote personal financial literacy. Free events and presentations take place over six days in April to help consumers better manage their finances. To learn more about Money Smart Week, visit www.moneysmartweek.org.

Investing Is Not Gambling

I have many pet peeves. I don’t like it when pillows in our house are lying on the floor. It irritates me when people talk on speaker phone in public. It drives me crazy when people rush to stand up in the aisle of an airplane once it lands (I’m really not as angry as it might seem).

What’s New in Medicare for 2025

Every year, we encourage our clients enrolled in a Medicare Part D stand-alone prescription plan to take a few minutes to verify that their existing plan remains the best option for them. For the 2025 plan year, there’s a little more urgency, as some big changes are occurring that have never been a factor before. Starting in 2025, Medicare is setting a $2,000 cap on out-of-pocket drug costs for those with Part D drug plans. From brokers I have spoken with, this has caused a lot of turmoil in this market as some providers are changing what drugs will be covered under their formularies, co-pays, deductibles, and coverage of brand versus generic. If you were happy with your Part D drug plan in 2024, it could be a different story in 2025.
