im only 24 and ive recently discovered your channel after realising I don't want to be working until im 65+. I have already learnt so much and I am really enjoying working my way through your videos. Thanks a lot pete!
don't waste your best years, enjoy them, but do miss out just to save and then retire and be too old to have any fun, life will pass you bye. I use to want a farrari, I now can afford one and do not want one, I passed it. take my advice you already have wealth its called youth.
As someone who retired a few years ago, this video outlines the only way you rationally can. I did a very similar thing in terms of spend analysis and after 3 years I still keep track (never did this when earning) the one off spend that is unplanned is greater than you think, also the out in town lunch and small breaks, etc...but as the video says know your position or keep working blind.
I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $300,000. ' John Steven Barr' is among the most accomplished portfolio managers in the industry, widely acknowledged for his outstanding work. I highly recommend taking a closer look at his impressive portfolio.
Love the comment at 1:02 regarding inflation, how quickly things can change. Im coming up to retirement soon and finding these video's and podcasts very helpful and informative.
There’s a lot of scare stories from IFAs about retirement. Planning for 30 years and 4% drawdowns. In reality , many people die 2 years into retirement or get cancer, dementia or have a heart attack so that they don’t get their employment or state pension for long. Furthermore, by 75, the majority of people slow down tremendously and don’t need much to live on. They will not change their car every 2 years or go on long round the world voyages. Best thing is to save early, retire early , have 20 years of a good life and keep fit. If you have a lump sum of £50 K at 28, leave it for 25 years in a Very low cost etf fund, you’ll be set to enjoy. 50000[1.08) ^30= 500,000 . Take 15 years out and relax. What’s the point in having £ 1000000 at 67 when you have 8 years of decent life ? 75-85 is pretty miserable for most.
Agee 100% …but some of us enjoy working - part or full time - don’t discount that nor the pleasure of supporting others with your £. Secondly you can be very active and healthy in your 70s if you live clean, exercise etc and have a dash of luck.
@@RDR1456 Very low cost, but liquid ( easy to sell ) fund. The key issue that differentiates performance between pensions is the annual management charges. It can be as high as 5% . But Vanguard charges about 0.14 % That’s a 4.85% per annum waste and adds up big time.

if you have worked since leaving school at 16 you are approaching 51 would like to retire early. would still receive state pension when you reach the qualifying age. you'll have 35 years national insurance paid
My raf pension is as sweet as a nut ,it’s not huge but enough to get down to 3 days work ,and I can hold on to my pension pot ,sweet because literally no contribution,turns out I was getting an extra 1100£ a month during my 9 yrs ,sweet ,no more endless back and forward chatter
That's the plan, my problem is that i've never worked as an advisor before and my experience is different to most who take the qualification. I feel like i've got a good knowledge base and would be confident fact finding and giving advice (i love analysis and report writing most) but i lack customer facing experience and do not have CAS status which seems as though it's going to be hard to obtain unless i can be taken under a wing for 12 months at least. Paraplanner could be a good stepping stone for sure...The two informal phone convos i've had, one with tenet and one with local firm did not go how i expected so I'm tweaking my cv and then i'll attack again...i knew it would be hard for me to get a foot in the door and I was naive before i started studying and thought i could be totally independent with just the level 4. I now realise i need a senior manager involved and further fca approval before i can start a totally indi firm. Hard to drop a ~60k a year self employed position to take a 30k one to get me going...sacrifice needed though. I guess i should just keep on applying, get more interviews under my belt and law of averages will fix it for me.........!!
Hi Pete, hopefully you are still reviewing the comments on 2 year old videos. Under retirement as opposed to investing can I request you cover the different annuity options. I'm aware of the legal and general annuity that willl pay you a fixed amount for set period of time and you can specify how much of the pot you want back at the end of the period. minimum period of time is two years I believe and the pensioner could choose to get all or a specified amount at the end of the period. Sounds like a great way to maintain a pot and leave the making money on it for someone else for a while? I'm assuming the down side is you would of had to crystalize all of the pot to complete the deal? Would you also of had to pay tax or will the fund be recognised as still being in a pension?.......you can see the reason for the questions. I was thinking good way to breach the gap between early retirement and state pension/DB scheme kicks in and I get my pot back at the end of it.....thx Ian
Get a guaranteed income for a set period with a lump sum at the end (Fixed Term Retirement Plan) OR Get a guaranteed income for a set period (Cash-Out Retirement Plan)
some figures from their calculator pot size = 650K age at start 63 (4 years to state pension), tax free cash £162.5K (25%) remaining pot £487.5K duration of annuity = 4 years annual amount paid is £16,470 guaranteed lump sum at the end of 4 years is £480K.
Hi Pete I have a question for you, I am coming up to 50 and I am able to take DB and DC private company pension and I was seriously thinking about having a sips or ssas to allow me to invest in property in 2023/2024. Do you think that investing in property through a company is still better that investment like St James place for an example?
I would be interested in your opinion of paying off a mortgage early compared to investing that money and paying off at term, or even extending the term.
Hi Pete I have a question please. If I transfer my small pot (75k) to another provider, can I pay a lump sum into the pot? I have been told by my existing provider I can transfer without cost but I cannot pay into my pot as it is 'paid up'. Keep up the good work cheers !
You can’t pay into it with your existing provider - that’s what paid up means. But once you shift the balance to a new provider, I don’t see any reason why you shouldn’t be able to pay into it
Hi Pete, I know this vlog is 3 months old, so the environment has changed with regards basic food and energy costs. Are you more concerned about inflation now? Ps. Great content. Thx
Concerned? Not really. It’ll definitely happen and interest rates are likely to rise too, but I don’t think we’re heading for dangerous levels of either. I could be wrong though!!
@@MeaningfulMoney and now? I guess it depends very much on circumstance those on low incomes without pay rises are going to in serious pain but higher earners getting inflation level pay rises will probably find their personal inflation level are actually lower than average and their better off.
Yes, but life is about more than financial prudence, especially in retirement. If you can afford it and if you want to do it, then you just need to factor it in. An Ascetic retirement doesn’t sound fun to me!
How do you mean, ‘deal with?’ It’s not something I know much about, I’m ashamed to admit, only because it hasn’t come up in my day to day told as an adviser yet… Happy to learn more though…
@@MeaningfulMoney hi, thank you for your reply. My apologies, probably my northern terminology coming out. Could I take your contact details and maybe we can discuss further?
