    High prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

      It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of investing in the stock market and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

      Using the 4% rule it only ends up being $28k/year gross. You would probably have to pay at least $4k for medical insurance now but way more if Trump gets rid of the the ACA subsidies.
      If the money are in a traditional retirement, that person is going to pay early withdrawal penalties until the age of 59.5 or be forced to use 72t distributions for 5 years. There might be some taxes as well but not too much with that income. That's poverty level income until SS comes in at 62.
      If there is a significant pension or disability involved, that would be a different story. But otherwise, that person needs to work until 65 which should allow him to double the savings and get SS and Medicare right away at retirement. The quality of life would be dramatically better.

    I’m planning on also retiring with a $750,000 nest egg, i know it isnt a lot to go buy but my aim is to make it last. Which investments would you recommend for steady growth and reliable income?

    • @tammystut
      @tammystut 23 дні тому +6

      Depends on how old you are and where you live. $750k isn't a ton to retire on. 1 month T Bills are around 5% right now, which would annualize to around $30k annually or $2600 a month. If you feel like you can live on that where you have that as a safe, medium yield investment. Of course everyone will tell you just buy the S&P500, VOO, etc. since it averages 8% - 12% long term, so maybe allocate less of your nest egg to that for the years the market is down.

      Low cost of living location is key. Can be in the USA or not, but I wouldn't pick an expensive market to live in like SF or LA for example. If you are still young you may want to stay investing at 75% or more in the US stock market with mutual/index funds like VTSAX or FSKAX, and hold long term. Do NOT try to time the markets. That is often fatal

Working with a fiduciary not just an advisor is crucial to navigating the volatile market and looking to grow your portfolio. i work with Monica Mary Strigle , a NY based Fiduciary. With her guide, my portfolio which is currently diversified $500K in stocks (tech, big Pharma and consumer goods) and $350K in alternatives (private equity, precious metals, cryptocurrencies), boomed significantly! Just search the name & check if she meets your requirements, You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

    They should improve that free tool. The tool assumes you spend same every year… I’m thinking the first 10 - 15 years, it’d probably be consistent year over year. 75 plus, you may not be able to travel, your expenses may slow down considerably…
    Also, the tools a bit confusing. When he’s talking about expenses… is it 2500 a month just from the portfolio? Wouldn’t you have to factor in social security? So 2500 plus 2000 is 4500 a month… so, close to 55k a year… that’s paying very little in taxes as well. 30 k minus standard deduction would be 16k which you’d pay in the 10 percent bracket. Plus your SS wouldn’t be taxed…

Given what we just experienced, the fact that they low ball actual inflation(for example they don't count that products decrease content and raise prices), and the possible tsunami of dollars that may becoming back to the US if the world really reduces it's dollar holdings/trade, future inflation is probably more than 2%.
