I have never understood why they use your average salary to gage if you are saving enough or have enough to retire. I would think that your average annual spending would be the most important number to use as a gage.
$5k per month after taxes is too high for that amount of assets. They definitely need to reduce that to about $4k/month or think about a part-time job, just to be safe. Or, recognize that later in retirement they’ll need to live more simply.
What about health insurance that you need till 65. That is a big expense. You have this formula that this couple will run out of money at 92. If they have to go into long term nursing care in there 80's, guess what, by by nest egg and say hello to title 19. Living abroad(if possible) is a better option financially.
Also, remember that your financial retirement advisor will charge you 1% of the total value off of your retirment account. Therefore if you attain a 6% gain, you will only have 5% available to work with.
Why is inflation always at 3% in these calculations? I know my insurances and food is far greater than 3% each year. Maybe because I live in Massachusetts ?? 🤷🏼♀️
Retired at 55 with $200K. Have a mortgage, car payment, and funding my son in college. No problems. Never invested a penny. No IRA, Roth, or 401K. All my money safe in the bank.
Like when you do SS early And a couple.. when you run numbers. My scenario (unique scenario. Age difference) I'd like to see.. Retire in five years at 55-56, Wife will be 61-62. Should have just over 2 million if things gi OK. Collect social security early...Just because and see how it looks.
I would really like if you could give me a picture of my future with what I have saved and invested I do have a financial advisor, but I’m trying to learn on my own and see what other people are saying.
Hi Drew, I have a few questions. If you live 30 years in retirement, are you figuring for the follow in expenses? 30 years at least three cars? At least one roof on the house you’re living in? At least, three hot water tanks? Three dishwashers? ( no I don’t mean me as the dishwasher) 😂Three microwaves? Two stoves and/or cooktops? Three washer and dryers? Just wondering how you figure these types items into the retirements. I figure maintenance or repair of these items is figured in their expenses. But not the replacement. Love your videos. Go Yankees.
Great question. FICalc (worth a google) lets you figure big chunks of money in. And hopefully you have kids to take your car away at 85 so you will only have to buy two future cars!
Great question! We can figure in as detailed as someone would like. Normally I have a misc column for the house stuff and then we can factor in cars as well. Go Rays!
Please remember that a person that has only $150,000 when nearing retirement is most likely not good at budgeting and controlling expenses. If you are relying on that person to solve their own problem by suddenly changing, then as a financial advisor, you are doing them a disservice.
You sidnt account for the reduction of social security in 2033. It is most likely that they will not pass a bipartisan fix for the funding issue. The financial planners need to not rely on the comment that congress will fix it.

Both are good ways to gage your retirement readiness.
Need the Single version of this.
I can do that, videos coming!
You’re the Best TH-camr about finance advice out there.👍🤑
Glad you think so! And I really appreciate you commenting and watching!!
I dont get it. You are NEVER at ZERO or "run out of money" because you will STILL have monthly SS check for life at 85!
SS money was never meant to be relied on that heavily. Yes it’s a nice little chunk but it shouldn’t be the only thing keeping you semi afloat
@@Ww8.3Of course! But for Drew to say you will be at ZERO and "run of money" is inaccurate!
Very true
@@Ww8.3 funny thing is I actually spend less than my estimated benefits at 70(because I am a heavy saver and current taxes)
The majority of Americans will never have $500k in retirement savings. But good video as example sounds realistic for a middle class couple.
Thanks for watching!
Great point well explained
Thanks!
Expenses will go down as you age. This is proven and you need to adjust the expenses. Not linear
Besides Medical
Maybe so
Not proven. It's statistically
So glad i will have no taxes after we retire nxt year.. all ROTH money
🤩
And you will be in a lower tax bracket with no taxes in retirement
@@johngill2853 yep can't get better than zero
@@johngill2853 yep. No income taxes after next year
@@bruceeigsti5274 and the standard deduction and lower tax brackets you could have taken advantage of?

put 400k in QYLD, that will provide 4k/mo in dividend income. put 100k in S&P500 index for growth.
Good point!
Thank you for the mini-series of scenarios.
Go 'Stros
Your welcome! Go Rays!!

How do we get Congress to stop taxing social security benefits?

We use the 109 year average for inflation projections which is around 3.27% right now. Thanks for asking!!

Sounds like a great scenario to run an EKG

Tax rates revert in 2026 and not 2027 (provided the sunset happens).
Thanks!

Just creating a plan to help
@@yourfinancialekg that's all you can do. Hopefully they appreciate it and follow.
TCJA expires at the end of 2025, so it's 2026 (not 2027) when rates revert. Suspect.
Suspect who?
@@yourfinancialekg You Drew, lol 😆. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reminder
Most likely they won't fix it? No way,it will be fixed. The only question is who will pay for it
I retired and went back to work, paying for my sins of taking my grandchildren on trips all over the Country..
