One of the biggest misconceptions about Medicare is that the cost of enrollment is free for older Americans. It's true that Medicare Part A, which covers hospital care, generally doesn't come with a premium (though there are other out-of-pocket costs enrollees face, like deductibles and coinsurance). But Part B, which covers outpatient care, charges enrollees a premium just to have that coverage to begin with.

Back then, it was just me, my husband, and a small dog, and we didn't need to shop at Costco more than once a month to load up on cleaning supplies and non-perishables. It didn't make sense to buy groceries in bulk from Costco because we wouldn't use them up in time and get our money's worth.

There may not be a hotter stock on Wall Street right now than Palantir Technologies. The company's artificial intelligence (AI) software is revving its growth engine, and there is a wide-open market opportunity in both government and the private sector. The stock is up approximately 800% since the start of last year. Be warned. Momentum can sometimes take stock prices to irrational places, and Palantir's valuation has arguably become untenable at more than 50 times the company's revenue.
