So I’ve very tentatively looked into early retirement, meaning 5 years before Medicare eligibility and I was just tapping around on an AI asking questions and so I have a question to real people who might know something about this:

The AI, Gemini, said that if you keep your income between $15,060 and $22,590 that you can get a subsidize silver plan with cost sharing reductions for next to nothing, relatively speaking.

First question: is this still a thing, or was the AI trained on old information?

Second question: My main source of income before Social Security and a pension would kick in would be income from a Roth IRA. Gemini said that income from a Roth IRA, since it’s not taxable, would not count. So I could get a part-time job and earn within the range written above and then get additional income from my Roth IRA and still be eligible for relatively low cost health insurance through a silver plan with cost sharing reductions. Is this true?

Thanks.

There is a classic filmmaking technique commonly known as "traveling by map" or a "map travel sequence". It is a specific type of travel montage designed to quickly show a long journey, often featuring a red line snaking across a vintage map (e.g., used in Indiana Jones, Casablanca, etc.)

I have a still image of the map I want to use. Is there an easy way to animate a red line going from one city to the next in Final Cut Pro?
