    That is such a general question! It ALL depends on the age at retirement! If one works till 70 and retires, very likely 500K will be enough (depending on monthly expenses). If you are retiring at 60 with 500K or less, that MAY be more likely not enough, though some people do it successfully, as shown by Drew's illustration here. For me, I just turned 62 with just a tick OVER 1 million in retirement savings and plan to retire next August at 63. I have ZERO debt and good health, and intend to stay that way!

    My mom retired on SS (1200 per month), a paid for house, a 350K CD (another 1200 per month), and a tree farm generating 6K per year that she leased out. so about 2900 per month.... The kicker at 87 years of age she saves over half of her monthly income for a rainy day. Her savings continues to grow each month.... Never has touched her nest egg (CD's)

      This is my plan. I retired early and I have a 46% savings rate and I hope to have a 69% savings rate by the end of the year. I have a tiny federal pension and rental income which is variable.

    People retiring before age 65 better be aware that their medical insurance and expenses will be a big burden to bear. If you like handing over most of money to insurance companies and doctors that never really do anything for you, then have a good time. ... Even when you get Medicare, that will likely eat up close to 100% of your Social Security payments. And thats a conservative estimate.

    I wish someone on a video would say what do you do if you have a 401k and half is traditional and half is a Roth. How do you split it bc it’s the same account

    • @yourfinancialekg
      @yourfinancialekg  5 місяців тому

      When you retire the traditional rolls into IRA and the Roth rolls into a Roth IRA.

    Abandon all hope, retirement in the United States is becoming impossible and will get worse when you only receive 75-80% of your projected SS and a meager SS COLA (if any). If you have a pension they want to zero out your COLA there too. 😢 of course this assumes the Sequence of Returns Risk doesn’t go against you or it’s even more dire.

  • @xaldath4265
    @xaldath4265 5 місяців тому

    Personally, I have 11 years until "full" retirement at age 48. 1 full pension and 2 minimal pensions, plus an estimated $1.2m(market dependant) portfolio should be plenty to live how I want. If SS shows up 20-25 years later, cool. The pension, a rental, and fueling all 3 tax buckets for stock market investing has been a blessing for flexibility.
    If only I could manage to take my physical flexibility that seriously, it might be a pleasant twilight of life.

    the BIG problem is the market can drop 50% at any time.....and inflation can run alot hotter than 3%......but in a perfect world I get it.......one way to get around the market risk is if you can find a brokerage firm that will pay you on your cash (I currently get 4.8% on my cash at interactive brokers; most brokers pay next to nothing)....then I sell put options to earn more income that are WAY below the current market prices (thus building in a bear market before it happens)....just a strategy that I've stumbled onto.
