Welcome to 65

Turning 65 doesn't have to feel overwhelming.

It should feel like the beginning of your best chapter yet.

Welcome to 65 is a warm, honest, jargon-free guide to one of life's biggest milestones - written by insurance educator and Carolina Senior Project founder Jon Evans, who has spent years sitting across the table from people navigating this exact transition.

Inside, you'll find clear, practical guidance on:

• Medicare, explained in plain English: Parts A, B, C, and D, Supplement vs. Advantage, enrollment timing, and the mistakes to avoid
• Social Security: when to claim, spousal and survivor benefits, and the questions worth asking an advisor
• Working after 65, delaying retirement, and coordinating employer coverage
• Protecting what you've built: budgeting, long-term care, life insurance, and estate basics
• Your health, relationships, and sense of purpose in this new season
• Staying safe from the scams that specifically target this age group
• Getting your affairs in order and having the family conversations that matter most
• Building a trusted team of professionals so you never have to figure it out alone

No sales pitch. No scare tactics. No confusing jargon. Just honest, compassionate guidance plus practical checklists, conversation starters, and worksheets you'll return to again and again.

Whether you're approaching 65 yourself or helping a parent get there, Welcome to 65 will leave you feeling clearer, calmer, and genuinely excited for what's ahead.

You only turn 65 once. Let's make it the best chapter yet.
