    Even with ss. People are facing a tough retirement. and it's even harder for workers to save due to low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire in.

      The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

      No, the program does not currently model ACA subsidies, which can depend on income. However, these could likely be entered manually into the program using Special Expenses and Receipts.

      Yes, the NIIT is taken into account in MaxiFi as our realized capital gains. You tell the program how much you have in unrealized capital gains and it will estimated any taxes you may owe if you need to draw from Regular Assets (like your Brokerage) to facilitate paying any conversion taxes.

    So great to hear from my two long distance financial mentors. I even bought copies of Spend to the End for friends, and Scott’s column Dare to Die Broke was a real eye opener about factoring actual life expectancy into retirement spending. Larry also gave me a free copy of his Maxi software due to my being a minister. Thanks again for your generosity. I laughed when Scott talked about buying a manufactured home in a park where you own the land because that’s exactly what we have done as well. The monthly cost in our park is under $300 including grass cutting, water, sewer, trash, cable TV, and internet. Not to mention Pickleball, tennis, pool, and a small gym. Taxes are a third of our previous house. The park literally across the street is $1200. Good advice, as usual.

    I remember when David Walker served. Great guest. It’s perhaps unsurprising though that an economist by training and a CPA by training can have an hour long conversation about ‘sustainability’ and ‘deficit’ with only a passing and dismissive reference in the last minutes to ANYTHING resource or environmental related. Extreme weather is here, NOW, destroying infrastructure, physical assets, agricultural production, reducing livable land, and so on. Emissions to date mean extreme weather and destruction WILL increase even if emissions stopped now. Which they won’t. Even these 2 thoughtful and rational men aren’t worried about deficit resource consumption. But lands scoured bare and barren produce few returns. I’ve used ESP software for 10 years to guide my economic planning and will continue to do so. Nevertheless modern economics based on unsustainable growth is just another form of magical thinking. Even if their economic proposals were in place tomorrow, there isn’t any reason to think they would delay or reduce impacts like yesterday’s hurricane and tornadoes in Texas.

    RE: retiring at 62. I just made the decision in a span of about 3 days to retire at 63 because-life. Adult child with brain hemorrhage that needs my time at least as much as i need my money. It’s got noting to do with “smarter” Further, i suddenly developed really limiting arthritis and having the time and freedom from a desk to increase movement is the only thing that’s going to keep me functional for the next 15 years. Being able to model real life is valuable. I am glad I started using this about 8 years ago, because it requires a lot of workarounds to be accurate. Now I need to model peeling off a large chunk of assets to pay for LTC for someone else, a lot younger. Moving to a wheelchair accessible home. Out of state. Loss of income, loss of savings, risk aversion.

One piece of information that may have eluded a more casual viewer is that the investment in the TIPS ladders will have been totally spent by the end to meet the inflation adjusted income needs.
