I think your employer will turf you off to Medicare when you turn 65 so you don’t really have a choice in the matter. Saves them money. When I got Medicare I found a secondary plan that covered my particular doc and hospital system provider here in Chastun. It’s less than $40/month. There’s

I know little about it myself but check your employee plan, some may drop you at 65 and require you to go on Medicare, but as I understand it that is only possible for "small" employers. There's the point of view that if you get Medicare Part A for free, why not take it? Also if you have an

Re: [MBZ] How Big of a Can of Worms Would This Be?

Yes you can file an affidavit, "the Affidavit of Nonuse allows a person to avoid a registration administrative penalty when the person is ready to apply for a certificate of registration. The Affidavit of Nonuse does not exempt a person from owing registration fees or taxes upon registration."

Re: [MBZ] How Big of a Can of Worms Would This Be?

Uhhh, not quite true, I think. I’m almost positive you can file an affidavit of nonuse if you’re not planning on driving it on public roads. At least I did these in the past when I lived there. Can’t address the county zoning, but depending on where you live and the proximity of your

Re: [MBZ] How Big of a Can of Worms Would This Be?

Indiana requires registration of any vehicle you own if it is being operated on public roads. They will collect delinquent registration years when you renew, but not from subsequent owners. Our county zoning further requires any vehicle that is parked outside to be registered. Also vehicles
