About Us

Social Security & Medicare form the foundation of retirement in America yet are not well understood. The Turning 65 Workshop was created in 2016 by Thomas Wright, who spent 30+ years as a financial advisor in Portland, Maine specializing in employee benefits. Tom saw first-hand this widespread 'illiteracy' in the workplace among older employees- and how hard it often was for them to find reliable, easy-to-understand information. 

Our objective is simple: Communicate the basics of Social Security & Medicare understandably. Our audience is specific: Older employees who are approaching retirement- and the HR professionals who work with them. We ensure professional, unbiased content by only offering paid programs.
