The concept of mini-retirement changed my life. I'm no longer waiting for some retirement paradise when I'm 65. It helps to know how to fund the lifestyle. You know, making money while you sip that piña colada by the beach does help. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.
Yeah, people miss that part. You don't jet out to Puerto Rico with your life savings. Proper investing and a good business acumen are big pluses. Invest in the stock market, real estate, build businesses. That's just it.
Safe to say not everybody has the skill to pursue investing. But it's always easy to follow the advice of someone who knows how to i.e a financial advisor. You could anywhere between 10--40k with the right ones. Online businesses are a good bet too if you are savvy.

This year's problems will certainly be more difficult. Looking back, I realized that I was so preoccupied with my portfolio that I made bad financial mistakes throughout the previous year. I had to decide between boosting my investments and buying a house. After deciding to sell my investments, I learned that the home I had purchased needed more maintenance than I had anticipated. Trying to figure out how much longer I can tolerate this is becoming more difficult
Invest in companies that provide current cash flows to diversify your portfolio. I hired a planner at the end of 2023 to enhance my portfolio, and in the last ten months, I've made profits in over fifty different marketplaces. Should 2023 teach us anything, it's that luck doesn't last forever. Even in times of abundance, we should put in more effort to prepare for the worst case scenario
Okay how can one locate a reputable financial planner? I wouldn't mind searching the professional who served you. I'll be retiring in two years and may require some assistance managing my considerably larger assets. Don't want to take chances.

I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.
That sounds like a good plan. In the past two years, working closely with a financial market specialist, I've built a six-figure diversified stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even more this year.
Talking about a financial market specialist, do you consider anyone worthy of recommendations? I have about 100k to test the waters now that large cap stocks are at a discount... Thanks

Great topic Joe! The government has proven that they are terrible at handling our money, and I would rather have it in my pocket (the sooner the better) than in a "virtual" government account. I will definitely take the SS check at 62 and since I do not need the money right now, I will invest it in an ETF and let it grow.
I'm 53, and my doc suggested statins when I was 35. My cholesterol is usually around 240. I still have low BP, don't smoke, exercise regularly and eat well. And no, I never took those statins. I plan to retire in 5 years and intend to file for SS when I'm 62.
Agreed. Ldlc is a really bad predictor of heart disease. Statins have really bad side effects, including increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes. If your triglycerides are low and hdl decent then you are not at any increased risk, regardless of how high your cholesterol is.
You have to love how when you are paying in it's a very compulsory, rigid calculation based on your income. Once you go to collect, it's like walking into the casino.
Great video. Another elephant in the room that should be considered is at what age do you reach your maximum allowed SS benefit. This can also be modeled on the SSA website. Having recently done this, I'm now 100% certain that working after age 62 adds zero increase to my future benefit as I've accumulated enough past earning years at annual maximum SS contribution limit. I had briefly considered retiring at 61, but ultimately decided to bank one more year of cash AND hit max benefit regardless of the age I actually start taking my SS benefit.
My work contract ends when I turn 62, coincidentally. That will be May 2025. I am going to take my SS at the end of the year. Kick off 2026 with less work, more time to enjoy life, whatever is left.
It might be more total money if you wait until 70 but doesn't mean it is "worth it?" It's not just about money? It is what can/will you do with it? $10,000 at 65 when active mite be worth more than $20,000 at 80 sitting at home? Thinking about things you wish u had done at 65 if u had the money then? TIME is more valuable than money?
I know people that is delaying Social Security at 72 so can earn more benefits. The problem with that, is what happen if one pass away before then. The government got free money from you. I knew of some that passed away before then though they reached FRA.
what if you start collecting at 62 and take that money and put it into an ETF fund instead of using it? How would that factor in? Earning another 10% on that money (hopefully minimum) seems like better than waiting to 70 to start collecting... fun math!
Looking at break even is wrong in my opinion. One should look at monthly expenses and see if the monthly income can meet those. If not, then one needs to work a bit longer and wait until they can meet their monthly obligations. It doesn't matter that you start getting more in total at 77 if you cannot pay your bills each month.
Yeah, but that's a moving target these days. What could get you by 4 years ago and what gets you by now, is not the same. I don't imagine it'll get better in the future.
Your medicare payment and any supplement plan you choose are not indexed for taking SS early. Deduct those costs, then do your breakeven. It is a significant cost.
I dunno man, there's never been a period of time where any combination of dividend stocks out performed the s&p 500 for the same period. The index fund always beats the best dividend stocks. And of course, the best is not the average, on average they significantly under perform against that index.
The body scan I do at the gym says the life expectancy by gender is 81 for women and 76 for men. That really emphasizes that we should be enjoying our money long before we retire.
@@amyc7467 Not only am I a fan of statistics but, I did very well in my statistics courses in both, college and grad school. even today, I enjoy the occasional multivariate regression analysis. But, let's get back to MATH and Social Security. The Social security benefits decision is a different algorithm for everyone. To say that all people should start their benefits at the same time, regardless of what age that is, ignores most if not all of the variables that need to be considered. Additionally, a cohort's life expectancy changes as the age. Life expectancy at 40 is different than life expectancy at 50 or, 62.
If married, it is possible that one spouse will really need the extra money once the other passes. We’re planning to take the lowest earning spouses’s SSI early and try to hold off collecting the highest earner’s SSI as long as possible for this reason. I rarely see this mentioned.
I have a reasonably good retirement savings and had kind of planned on collecting at 70 with the idea that I'd rather have the additional income later should my savings not last as long as I originally planned. After thinking about it more, I don't trust the gov or that they won't change the game (or become insolvent), so I'll likely collect at 62 and invest the money until I need it.
I have a younger spouse to think about, I want her to get the full retirement survivor benefit. Not worried about myself, who cares if i dont get a few checks.
If your spouse is twelve years younger than you, and you die, the spouse will receive the higher benefit from SS for many more years, changing your equation.
SSI is NOT Social Security. SSI is a welfare payment for low income people. A financial advisor should know the correct terms. Really damages your credibility.
All these videos are based on people able to retire at 62, and want to retire at 62. I am going to retire at 63, but I am going to consult and mentor part time and will make at least $50k a year from that so I can't start SS. I may just do that for a couple years and then fully retire.
Good morning, Corporal (USMC), I have been following you since the pandemic started, and I find this topic very interesting. When I turn 62 I will be earning enough money in my Roth(s) to match my SSI at that age, appx 1600 / month. My question to you would it be better to take my SSI at age 62 and wait on taking my Dividends from my Roth(s) till I am 67 (reinvesting those dividends), or should I take my Dividends at 62 and wait on my SSI until I am 67?
No way any employee paid $400,000 of social security taxes. $67,000 wage at 6.2% is only $4,154/year. Over 40 years that would amount to only $166,160. That is even high because prior year earnings would have been lower unless you never got raises. One needs to factor more things into the equation like marital status, age difference if married, tax consequences, etc.. No way anyone should just claim early without considering their entire situation.
You missed the two KEY things you have to discuss when you ask this question; inflation and whether or not you'll be able to ENJOY more money at a much older age?! The extra money you get isn't really adjusted for inflation, since SS benefits rarely keep up. More importantly, what you can do at 82 will be profoundly diminished from what you could do at 62. Waiting is almost never in your best interests.
Question: if the difference between 67 and 70 is 3, how can you claim 32% increase in benefits by waiting until 70, if earning 8% per year? I believe one of your earlier slides showed 32% by waiting the 3 years. What am I missing?
Good question. If you have them in a retirement account and leave them in there, I don't think so, but they probably do if you take them out. If from a roth IRA, I'm not sure they are counted. Not an expert, so take that with a grain of salt.
I have a question Joe. I want to become a CPA but do not want to pay to get my masters. Is there a way to do it working and getting the referrals to take the text?
Hi Angie, I don't know that Joe is a CPA, he is a CFA which is a difference qualification. I hope I can offer you some help answering your question. The requirement as far as how many college credits minimum you must have in order to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam is actually determined by the licensing authority for the state where you reside/plan to sit for the exam. I would start there in researching their requirement, if it does not say that a masters is required and only gives a number of credit hours required then that should answer your question. It MIGHT make sense to go for the masters if you need twenty-some more credits but if you are in school now for your undergrad, a relevant second major in a related business discipline may add the number of credits you need to reach your requirement. That said, if your state agency says 150 hours and you have 126, your option really is to take another 24 hours of coursework relevant to a related business discipline. There really is probably no work experience credit or referrals or anything like that to get around it. I hope that helps.
@@josephhogue In the state where I took the CPA exam it didn't require the masters, but if I recall correctly it did require 150 credit hours. I got my Bachelors in Accounting and Finance upon returning to school after previously earning a Bachelors and a Masters in unrelated fields so I was able to meet my state's credit hour requirement that way.
Better check your math, there is no way average person contributes $400k to social security in today’s dollars. Max contribution in 2024 ~$10.6k per year. Contributing max for 38 years would not be average.
you must contribute 35 years into social security to receive a full amount. why work any longer and contribute to social security? you wont see the extra money you are forced to give up. age 57 should be the retirement age...
Hello I'm new to dividends I been watching your vids n making a big watchlist file from your vids I started to buy some stocks a month ago. But I just came across non qualified, and qualified dividends think you can make an video of qualified dividends or less taxed dividends cause I'd like to have more qualified dividends so I won't get taxed so much on my dividends I tired to find vids about it but no one really talks about what stocks are qualified. I'd like to make an watchlist on qualified but can't seem to find vids talking about them.
As long as you have your dividend stocks in a roth or traditional IRA, you don't have to pay taxes on them. With trad IRA you start paying taxes when you take money out (whenever after 59 1/2). With roth, you never pay taxes on them (exept certain ones). I think I only have one stock that pays qualified dividends. I'm not that worried about it. Although, if you invest your money inside a non-tax advantaged account, then qualified divs are more important. Can't help you much on finding which stocks that have dividends that are or are not qualified.
I would not start collecting SS if still working full time. You get less and there is the 2/1 penalty. Don’t take it until you stop working or working partctime
I'm currently taking Surviving spouse benefits. I started at 60. I am now 64. I'm riding this gravy train until 70. Everyone's situation is different. Do what you think is right not what someone else thinks is right. If I die at 69 that is ok. I gave it a go. But. I quit working at 60 and have no regrets about that. My benefit continues to grow all of the time. My wife died. I am on her benefit. Once I switch to my benefit the benefit I am currently getting is gone. But my check will be like we are both living in retirement. Get it? Maybe not.

A big difference (assuming you make a positive return), but the answer depends on the rate of return on the investment...
Unless you work how can you save it?
Do not collect at 62 if your working (unless you make very little money)
@@johngill2853 I will have a pension, a Roth IRA, a 457b, and and a brokerage account.
Interesting idea but risky. Giving up a guaranteed 6% for stock return but does get you out of the live-to problem
Better check your math, there is no way average person contributes $400k to social security in today’s dollars. Max contribution in 2024 ~$10.6k per year. Contributing max for 38 years would not be average.
But what about the big deductions you get automatically that should lower it
you must contribute 35 years into social security to receive a full amount. why work any longer and contribute to social security? you wont see the extra money you are forced to give up. age 57 should be the retirement age...
King: You are eligible for benefits with 10 years of contributions. They use your top 35 years to calculate benefits.
Take it the first chance you have. Social Security is going the way of the Dodo bird,
Mike: why would SS go away?
Am hoping when they raise age I get in under the wire
@@josephhogue Again, why would there not be a SS program?
Watch Dr Ken Barry , go carnivore get off of Meds ! Love your channel !
You get less younger but you collect longer
Avg male does in Early 70s, avg women early 80s
Hello I'm new to dividends I been watching your vids n making a big watchlist file from your vids I started to buy some stocks a month ago. But I just came across non qualified, and qualified dividends think you can make an video of qualified dividends or less taxed dividends cause I'd like to have more qualified dividends so I won't get taxed so much on my dividends I tired to find vids about it but no one really talks about what stocks are qualified. I'd like to make an watchlist on qualified but can't seem to find vids talking about them.
As long as you have your dividend stocks in a roth or traditional IRA, you don't have to pay taxes on them. With trad IRA you start paying taxes when you take money out (whenever after 59 1/2). With roth, you never pay taxes on them (exept certain ones). I think I only have one stock that pays qualified dividends. I'm not that worried about it. Although, if you invest your money inside a non-tax advantaged account, then qualified divs are more important.
Can't help you much on finding which stocks that have dividends that are or are not qualified.
Ok
Never wait. Inflation and future taxes will eat up your funds. No guarantees its there later.
Statin Side Effects: hair loss. You gonna lose that one hair on your head.
To start collecting at 62 years makes more sense. To start collecting at 62, does one have to retire from your current job at 62?
He said no. You can still working but every $2 you make from your job, they will take $1 off from your Collection
Misinformation This year any money you make over $22,600 $2 will be take out for every dollar
I would not start collecting SS if still working full time. You get less and there is the 2/1 penalty. Don’t take it until you stop working or working partctime

I'm currently taking Surviving spouse benefits. I started at 60. I am now 64. I'm riding this gravy train until 70. Everyone's situation is different. Do what you think is right not what someone else thinks is right. If I die at 69 that is ok. I gave it a go. But. I quit working at 60 and have no regrets about that. My benefit continues to grow all of the time. My wife died. I am on her benefit. Once I switch to my benefit the benefit I am currently getting is gone. But my check will be like we are both living in retirement. Get it? Maybe not.
don't take Statins!! Too much info out there to show the side effects are so bad it's far better to just change your diet and lifestyle.
SSI is NOT Social Security. You now have zero credibility.
Scrap it pls.
2 minutes of preamble, I’m out.
65 is the reasonable prices 🛫🛵🍜☕️🎶🌴🎉🙏🍺🍺
