Danielle Roberts is a Medicare insurance expert who writes regularly for many online publications including Forbes, where she is a member of the Finance Council. She is a TCU journalism graduate and former magazine editor. She also enjoys sharing her knowledge about Medicare, retirement, and insurance so that baby boomers can prepare for the costs of healthcare in retirement. She regularly appears as a guest expert on healthcare and radio shows.
In this episode we talk about health savings accounts and why they are different than other investments, what you can use an HSA for, differences between medicare and medicaid, how much health insurance might cost as you age (specifically, how much money you might want to set aside during your retirement years), and things Danielle wishes younger people understood about healthcare.

April- “So I am proud to say I feel like I have my first money win. I recently began assessing my monthly fixed expenses and looking at where I could trim back as far as bills went. After moving around some lines on T-Mobile and cancelling the apple digits for my Apple Watch, I was able to reduce my bill from $180 a month to $145.
Then, I purchased a home water dispenser + water jugs from WalMart online so I could stop Sparkletts delivery. By doing so, I was able to reduce my water consumption bill from $41 a month down to $13.50 by filling my own water. And for those of you wondering– the water tastes just as good. So a total of $62 saved just from changing around the way I get the exact same thing.” #moneywin
