    40 now, and everything is paid for. Fortunately, I had a college economics teacher who taught me a lesson when I was 18 years old. That lesson was: you can't buy something else for every purchase you make. Having multiple sources of income is prudent, as is living within your means. I have a 13-year-old vehicle because it is all I need, I like it, and I can do whatever I want with it. My net worth is $4 million, and I can pay my bills without stress, but I don't live like I have that. I have no complaints.

      I fully agree; I'm 56 years old and recently retired with approximately 1.2 million in outside retirement funds, no debt, and very few dollars in retirement funds in comparison to my portfolio balance over the last three years. To be honest, the financial advisor's role can only be ignored, not dismissed. Therefore do your research to get a reputable one and that should be any individuals main route into the market.

    More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire without any investment.

      I'm debt free, and may not be able to retire until Medicare simply because 0bamacare destroyed affordable healthcare for all but the very richest and very poorest of society. Those with means in the middle won't be able to afford healthcare outside of an employer. What terrifies me now is losing my job at over fifty years-old and never working again. As a highly paid STEM worker, the trend I've seen for the last ten years is companies no longer hiring people over the age of thirty anymore. Even our most senior engineers, retiring with 30-40+ years of experience are being replaced with 25 year-old kids, fresh out of school, with 3 years experience max, just because they are cheap. I brought my manager some resumes from very seasoned, very good engineers who were laid off back in 2008's financial crash. My manager showed me the stack of resumes he was allowed to choose from, filtered by and provided by HR. All were under thirty with very little work experience, not a single older worker with a decade or more of experience in the field. Simply, because the young are cheap and experience costs. That observation was the main driver in paying off my mortgage seventeen years early. Forgoing the luxuries of a high salary and just hammering the mortgage principal down to zero.
      All this I have said is because I have started early with Cynthia Mcclure Alexander that made things easier for me . Everyone has his or her way in life but I will say it is but to have a plan towards retirement which isinvestment in with the right persons
      At this point, I still explore the ability to retire early but that will involve maximizing my cash on hand while minimizing my income to get the largest 0bamacare subsidy possible to pay for healthcare. Luckily, 0bamacare is only income tested and not means tested like Medicaid is, at least for now.
      I'm lucky as far as expectations in retirement. I travelled when I was younger, don't have extravagant tastes since I was used to sacrificing all those years. I think I'll have a very good retirement partaking in my low cost hobbies, and living cheaply because of it. Healthcare costs are the only possible barrier to that now.

      Well, I'm 55 and fully retired for some years now. When I had my 21st birthday my mother told me to start planning my retirement then. Seemed ridiculous at the time but I took her advice and started my investment journey. Its had ups and downs but our income per year now is more than 100K and we live pretty well. A new car every 5 years, private health insurance and two overseas trips a year plus we also have enough to help out the kids with their mortgages. No govt pension of course. The secret, if there is any, is to start early to get the benefit of compounding. I started working early with Cynthia McClure Alexander early and today I am happily retired .

    > When you read articles about financial freedom, you may hear people talk over and over again about how they spend next to nothing to be able to retire at a younger age like 30. Instead, they may have already achieved financial freedom and boast about how frugal they were in order to retire well before the typical retirement age.

    • @Ame_rodri
      @Ame_rodri ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Planning for retirement, or even financial freedom, is a marathon and not a race, as the saying goes. Breaking your financial independence goals into small pieces can help you stay on track while making the process a little more manageable and hopefully a little less stressful. Even if you are starting small, the important thing is to start.
      The investment creates a safe haven for the future. Everyone needs it so you don't go bankrupt when you stop working

    Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things.

Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k).

    I retired at 53 thanks to my husband . It wouldn't have been possible without his company stock plan because it far exceeded the 401k we both have. He is six years older than me and was sick of the day to day grind but we had no clue if our savings and investments would be sufficient, we finally went to a financial management meeting and we make all decisions for a profitable Investment and prepared a plan for our early retirement. We should have done this years ago but never considered that we might ever have enough to retire early and I thank God and my husband for the ability to do investment . We are now financially stable with everything paid for and we have a good health insurance ! Don't wait time is something we have in short supply and no amount of money will buy you more.

    All good points. I remember at age 19 passing in front the social security office and laughing telling myself it will be a long time before I visit that place. Now I am 62, but I am not laughing anymore. With that being said I am fortunate to have a job I love and can do as long as I want to work. I also have $600,000 in IRA Accounts and my home is paid for. As far as social security, well someone asked Dave Ramsey when should they start taking their social security? Dave's reply was "That's easy just tell me when you're gonna die" . I am waiting until at least 65, knock on wood. I am in great health right now, but the reality is we just do not know what tomorrow holds. I believe we have to live life, but I also believe we have to plan like we will be here well into our 90's.

      $150K to $500K in 6 months? That's more than a 300% increase in value. If you are investing in stocks, you'd need a invest in a company that grows at that rate or faster. That essentially rules out all the well established companies. You'll want to focus on startups and at best small cap companies. So you'll be more of an angel investor or venture capitalist. The risk is high but so is the reward. You'll be looking for the needle in the haystack, but they do exist if you know what a needle looks like.
      Stocks are not the only investment with a high return. You can also flip houses, invest in cryptocurrencies, start your own business, etc.

      We also wasted so much time and now trying to make up for lost time. Just started this year. At 13 years out I'd create a monthly budget in retirement based on today's prices. Create an emergency fund that lasts 3-6 months. Become super efficient on spending and lower your required, monthly expenses because that will have the biggest impact. Invest the rest in index Roth accounts, IRAs or standard brokerage accounts. Work as long as you can, and at least until 65. Don't rule out relocating to a stare that is more favorable for retirement and consider any hobbies that can turn into side hustles. A few extra dollars a month, especially doing something you want to do kills two birds with one stone (income and keeping yourself entertained). Learn as much as youbcan about taxes. It's the biggest expense.

      When I retired at 63, I had accumulated a little more than the LW in my IRAs. Just like the LW, we had no mortgage or any other debt, and we calculated we could easily live on our SS and wife's pension. We truly retired... there was no need to do any kind of W2 or 1099 work anymore. We invested our IRAs into fairly aggressive stocks and bonds, which generated an average $165K increase annually these last 10 years. We "distributed" (took out) close to $100K a year for vacations, travel, fun, and other investments, i.e., real estate and crypto. We envision that we can easily do this for another 15 to 20 years when I will be in my nineties. Don't know if the LW will be able to this for the next 40 to 50 years. It can be done, but on the other hand, I was at the prime of my life in my forties and fifties, earning more money than ever before and truly enjoyed the path my career had taken. I cannot imagine living the lifestyle I live today back in those years.

Then try to spend from passive income like annuity, rental , dividends. Keep the principal sum intact for as long as is possible. Medical insurance is mandatory.

    Well, I'm 55 and fully retired for some years now. When I had my 21st birthday my mother told me to start planning my retirement then. Seemed ridiculous at the time but I took her advice and started my investment journey. Its had ups and downs but our income per year now is more than 100K and we live pretty well. A new car every 5 years, private health insurance and two overseas trips a year plus we also have enough to help out the kids with their mortgages. No govt pension of course. The secret, if there is any, is to start early to get the benefit of compounding. I started working early with Cynthia McClure Alexander early and today I am happily retired .

    I knew when I got my first full time job in 1975 that I was going to retire in 2016. It's not a crystal ball, it's 8th grade math. I hadn't even purchased my first house yet. That came a few months later. 1975 was a pretty big year for me. First full time job, first house and I got married for the first time later in the year. Purchased our second home in 1982. Just like I planned I retired in 2016 at age 62. My wife retired two years later at age 62. We never watched a single video on the subject. All we did was plan and use simple math. A major part of the plan was to reduce our debt to zero by the time I retired. Coming up on the 6 year mark of my retirement and we a yet to draw any money out of your retirement fund. Remember it's not rocket science, but there is some math involved.

    I find the amounts quoted as what you need compared to what you really do need to be way over quoted. If you have saved hard, you have probably been living quite carefully anyway. Once I removed the savings, mortgage, pension payments etc I realised I needed much less. I also have no kids so no need to leave a legacy, so plan on not just live off a 4% earnings on savings but to use some to buy a rental property and deplete my pension pots one at a time to zero and then begin to use the equity in my home. I plan on ending my days with roughly nothing in the bank, same as I arrived with.

    We have a culture that feels that retirement is "coming" and we have to prepare for it. Then we are told that the way to prepare for it is to get your finances in order. Something is wrong on both accounts, here. Retirement isn't "coming." It's a way of life I choose or don't choose. And finances are not the only thing that we need to prepare for in our advancing years. A lot of people are going to be forced to extend their working years. We need to prepare for that. The data on those who pursue a classical (read: full stop) retirement are not good. For example: there is a 40% increase in the incidence of clinical depression for those that make a full stop. We get a large part of our identity, socialization, and mental agility from our work. There's a lot more at stake here than just how much you have in the bank. Hard stops can lead to heart stops.

    The first thing I would do is talk to a financial planner a year or 2 before you retire. There are a lot of tax loopholes and hidden costs these advisors know of. Also just pay this financial planner a one-time fee don't invest with them. In the meantime try and go debt free. If you own a house have a new roof paid for in your house savings account to cover major repairs and taxes. Never spend your cash first the biggest expense in retirement is taxes. So this is where a financial planner will lead you in the right direction. Also if you have stocks now is the time to go to the Bonds, ETF & Low-cost index funds this will lower your risk big time!
