We retired also at 56. Best decision ever. Loved my job but loved living life to its fullest. Plus I was burning out for sure. We have a modest income; my spouse did not have a work place pension but we are frugal and always have been. We have a small 14 year old compact car; have a large organic veggie garden; six fruit trees; no TV; no cell phone; no dishwasher or microwave; no clothes dryer etc. We are Luddites for sure. Exercise daily. Travel. Eat healthy etc. Reside in an affordable two bedroom home (mortgage free for 20 years) and still manage well when all the kids and grandkids arrive in the summer. Great fun to squeeze in even with ONE bathroom. Less is more as the cliche goes. And many thanks Adam for your perpetual, fabulous advice.
Hey Adam, it's Dave Chilton, The Wealthy Barber. I enjoy your videos. You're well-informed and very genuine. It's clear you really want to help people. Well done!
Thanks Dave, appreciate the kind words. Let me know if you ever want to make a guest appearance - would love to have you.
@@ParallelWealth Dave Chilton guest appearance would be super fun!
Adam, congrats, that's a huge tip of the hat from Dave Chilton. Well deserved and absolutely true in every aspect. Congrats on the 100k as well!!
Retirement will be a cinch for me. My identity has never been with my job - I learned a long time ago that the employer (and co-workers) replace and forget you in 5 minutes, so don't give them too much of your "life". They owe you a pay check on the work you have done. That's it. It's business. If you haven't developed a life outside your job, that's your mistake. You need to be able to walk out their door and never look back.
Absolutely! People forget you in a heartbeat once you leave. Truth
I couldn't have said it better myself.
I wish I could and would think that but give them 150% of myself. I'm stupid.

GREAT JOB ADAM !!! 👏👍🎉
Hi Adam, I was happy you mentioned the mental concerns but none of your points are what I had in mind. For a lot of people, we've had 60 years of save, invest, grow, grow, grow. Its been our whole life, but upon retirement, its now depletion time. That seems like the biggest mental hurdle for me - switching from accumulation mode to depletion mode. How depressing and unsatisfying... lol
Grateful always for the tips and reminders 😊
I’ve said it before, but I’m gonna say it again you are wonderful Adam and thank you for taking the time to educate me!
Excellent!
Thanks Adam. I'm 56 and met with my financial planner and got the green light to retire end of this year if I want. Just need to figure out steps 3, 6, and 7 before I do. Also need to use up my health benefits before I retire since my employer does not provide post retirement benefits.
I've been retired a few years now and my husband will be retiring in 3 years. One thing we're doing while he's still working is purchasing any large items that will be paid off before he retires. For example, we need new windows in the bedroom and kitchen, we need a new freezer, etc. Large things that would cost a hefty amount that would need to be taken out of retirement savings. I also plan to do a very large Costco shopping and will be doing lots of canning from our garden. We are always thinking about the future and what we can do now to keep retirement costs down.
I've been doing exactly the same thing as far as maintenance goes so I don't have as many surprises once I'm retired. Only major thing left is the furnace hopefully!
Thank you
It would be nice if you could do a detailed video on that "big checklist" for a complete financial plan. I think you've already did, but a refresher wouldn't hurt. And/or provide an actual checklist on your website.
I couldn't agree more with all seven of these steps but the two which really resonated with me are assessing current spend, & educating yourself on retirement. It is critical to know current spend as this gives you a great upper limit goal post and knowing your current spend will be critical to informing what your retirement might look like.
If you can continue with the same level of pre-retirement working gross income in retirement, expenses will be easily met as a number of pre-retirement expenses go away after retiring. Put another way if you are able to maintain the same level of pre-retirement working gross in retirement you'll have considerable more net disposable income.
I believe educating your self is another very important step. Starting retirement is one of the biggest decisions you'll make in your lifetime so going into that blind is definitely not the thing to do.
These two items are very important, as both are started well in advance (pre-retirement), and will prepare you for your retirement day. While educating yourself on retirement you'll end up looking at other critical areas to think about (at least 5 are mentioned in this video). Foundational knowledge is key and important for proper planning and readiness. Don't skip these two critical pre-retirement steps as all information and knowledge gained will be crucial for a happy and successful retirement.
A year before I retired, I started working with a psychologist in prep-therapy. We unhooked all those pieces of identity that were tied to work-life, and built a new definition of who I was going to be. That was the best investment I ever made! 👍 It wasn’t easy at the start of therapy, but by the time I retired, it was a breeze!
That’s an amazing idea! Best of luck over the course of retirement.
Hi Adam. We really appreciate your channel and look forward to your videos.
Just a quick note about the 7 things to consider before retiring: IMHO, don't let the lack of decision about, say, "what to do after retirement" stop you *from* retiring.
One doesn't necessarily need to have their ducks perfectly aligned before pulling the retirement trigger. Many of these can sorted out after the retirement party.
Spoken as one who retired mid-50s (not quite 10 years ago) and has not regretted one second of it.
Great point!
If all goes as planned, I’ll be retiring in 3 years. I’ll be 56 and looking forward to enjoying life in a different way. I’ve enjoyed a great successful business career and love what I do, but looking forward to travelling more and focusing on hobbies even more.
Home with the spouse and cat sounds like a plan 😸
Sounds like what we’d enjoy…we added a dog for the cat!
I love this video even though I am retired for last three years and travelling five trips a year with Gate1travel. Living my life to the fullest. I only live once.
We’re hoping that on April 8th we’ll have checked off a total solar eclipse from our bucket list. The hotel is booked and all the camera gear is good to go.
Will you fly your Lear Jet up to Nova Scotia?
Amazing facts to work on before retiring....
I won't miss all the ass holes at the Gm auto plant😅
I hated my job and the boss but I was lucky to get 18 months severance package. After a year, I was hired back as a consultant for triple the salary for another three years during the covid lockdown.
😆
😂😂😂
I think the mental challenge will be the toughest. I fear boredom and isolation the most.
That’s why the advice-retire to something. Who are you when you’re not working. It’s hard to remember and what you were nay be different from who you are now. What do you like to do?
I am retired a year my biggest thing I have had to sort out is How much I need per month.
This is what makes this financial channel very different from all others. adam wants us to be successful, not just from a dollar and cents perspective but from a life perspective. Others like to " sell" you either on their views or an actual financial product. I actually spoke with my financial advisor this morning and I discussed that I was considering changing my RRSPs into a RIF now at 60 because I wanted to start a slow burn of my investments. I thought that my 3.xx% ( increasing) RIF withdrawals would make sense as I don't really need the money right now, but that RIF withdrawal would constitute my TFSA yearly maximum contribution for the next 5 years. He told me not to convert my RRSPs to a RIF until 71 as I would be forced to take a certain amount each year..that was kind of the idea...a known amount each year. I don't know why, but I'm starting to think that the FEE schedule is better for him and the company in an RRSP than a RIF.
Thanks Garth. Good luck with your advisor!
The other thing you can do @garth217 is convert whatever amount of RRSP to RRIF to generate cash needed for your $7000 TFSA contribution. Leave the other money in RRSP to convert at a later date. Although at average rate of 3.65% (between 60-65 withdrawal rate) you would have to convert approximately $192K. This is what we just did with wife's RRSP to facilitate some meltdown of RRSP money and to assist in the delay of starting CPP to 65ish.
You are probably right. I am going to pay for a plan as there isn't a conflict of interest
Of course your commissioned salesperson……errrrr….”financial advisor” doesn’t want you to start emptying your RRSP - it means less income for him.
@ParallelWealth I re watched your video on RRSP conversion RIF. Yes, there are additional fees associated with RRSP withdrawals. 11 years of withdrawals could cost me close to $1000 in fees. My RIF withdrawals are intended to replace a portion of my previous part-time income as well as TFSA contributions. I'm going to send him a message about some of the content in your videos. Specifically, the withholding tax on all of the RRSP withdrawals vs. the withholding tax on the amount above the minimum amount taken from an RIF .
How do we find people who can teach us how to retire the "right way" ? I have several family members who retired all wrong in my opinion. They retired 4 the most part because of their age only. 1 at 55 yrs young, the other 62, 65, 65 either with no plan, no pension (brother job didn't offer that), used their health problems as an excuse to retire early even though they didn't have to (they were still doing just fine physically but worried about what people thought mentally). Been at their homes 4 many yrs now with no backup plan, no part time job, no hobbies, just home collecting checks like sitting ducks. Now 2 of them are having health problems more than ever b4 & still fairly young (early 60's). How do we meet people who don't regret how or the way they retired?
No doubt being financially free and not having to worry much about health care and other expenses especially in retirement cannot be overemphasized, making smart plans and setting up diversified investment portfolios is quite essential.
Honestly this cannot be overemphasized, helping people mitigate unforseen circumstances and mistakes .It's always good to have a financial plan,
I am financially good to retire. Travel 2X and 2Xcruise A year but plan to work ti’ll able to have a reason to get up early🤭
Sales pitch.
I plan to retire to Mexico where I can earn a fortune in interest on my money and live like a king.
Living off interest sounds like a poorly thought out plan or a lack thereof.
How does this trading stuff work? I'm really interested but I just don't know how it go about it. I heard people really make it huge trading
I'm new at this , please how can I reach her?
Write you email and need sit down to chat about retirement! Appointment?
