David Schaeffer, CMP
David founded American Retirement Advisors in 2001 with a simple idea: retirement planning should start with education, not a sales pitch. Twenty-five years and 14,000+ clients later, that philosophy hasn’t changed.
He created the 123Easy Medicare Workshop because he kept hearing the same thing from new clients: “I wish someone had explained this to me before I made my decision.” Now, this workshop does exactly that — before you make any decisions at all.
David is a Certified Medicare Planner (CMP), author of Medicare Made 123Easy (published annually since 2012, now in its 2024 edition), and a frequent speaker at community centers and libraries across Arizona and Nevada. He lives in Scottsdale with his family and has never once cold-called a client.
What People Say About the Workshop
Real feedback from real people who watched first, then decided.
“After watching, I had a list of 4 questions ready before I called. The advisor said it was the most prepared first call she’d done all month.”
“I watched this for my mom who’s turning 65 next month. I learned more in 60 minutes than I did in weeks of Googling. Now I know exactly what questions to ask on her behalf.”
“David explains Medicare the way a good teacher explains anything — simply, patiently, and without making you feel dumb for not knowing. I’ve recommended this to three friends.”
Hundreds of Workshops. Thousands of Families.
From community centers to online — we’ve hosted hundreds of Medicare workshops across Arizona and Nevada since 2001.
Workshop FAQ
No. You’ll receive the workshop link, a follow-up with a summary and next steps, and the live Q&A invite if you opted in. That’s it. You can unsubscribe at any time with one click.
Most webinars are produced by insurance companies trying to sell you a specific plan. This workshop is hosted by an independent advisor who represents 30+ carriers. David’s only goal is to educate you — not push a product.
Absolutely not. The workshop is pure education. If you want to talk to an advisor afterward, great — but there’s zero pressure, zero obligation, and zero expectation.
That’s exactly when you should watch. The people who benefit most are those who watch before they need to decide. You’ll know what questions to ask when the time comes.
Yes — and we encourage it. Medicare decisions affect the whole household. Many people watch with their spouse, adult child, or the family member they’re helping. One signup covers everyone in the room.
