Retirement Planning Shouldn't Feel Like Homework
Nobody wants to read fifteen articles to understand their own retirement. Building SavedNest meant admitting that publishing more information was never actually the hard part.
A retirement and senior-benefits platform built around decisions: Medicare costs, Medicaid long-term care, required minimum distributions, benefits eligibility and retirement taxes, with state-level data behind the answers.
Start with a focused consumer problem and the questions surrounding it.
Group information around decisions and user journeys rather than publishing chronology.
Add 51-state data for Medicaid long-term care and Medicare Savings Programs so answers change with where the visitor lives.
A decision engine with tools, state data and a personal eligibility snapshot, now moving from building to indexing and monetization.
Counted from a full render of the build, every page executed and every internal link followed. Last checked October 11, 2026.
Pushing the Medicare and RMD pages through Medicare Open Enrollment (October 15 to December 7) and the December 31 RMD deadline.
Organize a consumer-facing decision experience around real questions rather than isolated articles. The useful evidence is in the decisions, the changes, the failures, and the next steps. This page is the evergreen map; the journal entries below preserve the chronological record.

Building something in this space? This project is a real example of the kind of architecture and decision-support work I take on for client builds — not a template, structured around what the actual business needs.
