    I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

      The chance that social security isn't there in 40 years is about the same as your stock portfolio losing 80% of its value and never recovering. Worst case scenario is a 25% reduction in benefits, and more likely it will be a smaller reduction combined with increased payroll taxes. My retirement planning (as an older millennial) assumes a 20% reduction to current benefits.

    I don’t know why the Ramsey folks keep saying you can withdraw $70-120k on $1m. A 7-12% withdrawal rate is insane basically anytime in history. I don’t like to go on the other extreme and say people should use a 1-3% or dividend only withdrawal rate, but if there’s a chance you’re going to live 20-30 or more years in retirement, a 4% withdrawal rate is your best plan that lets you safely take out plenty of money and also still leaves you room for market fluctuations and adjustment for inflation over a long retirement

      Absolutely. I had 1.1M which has descended with the market. I’ve got 3 years before Im forced to draw. In the interim, I put 25% of my hourly job dollars toward 401K retirement and contribute fully to the Roth. I work 10 to 20 hours a week, collect SS and am paying off $5K left on my mortgage (paid for by my job) later this month. Accordingly, my monthly cash flow will increase 25%+ via reduced expense. Even with high property and school tax, I’m managing quite well and with confidence. Lowering costs (cell phone, internet, etc.) and several things I rethought and eliminated and being vigilant about spending are key, no matter what kind of retirement one has. With so many people struggling, it’s disheartening (and misleading) to suggest that $1M or even $500K won’t cut it. Come on!

    @themusic6808 Рік тому +13

    The 1 million mark is actually a very important number not because of the actual number itself but because of what that amount of money can actually do on its own. 1 million dollars invested that’s getting 9% annual returns on average is earning $90,000 per year in interest. Meaning with annual compounding interest if you just didn’t touch it you’d be at 2 million in 9 years and doubling every 9 years after that. Also if that 1 million was invested in large cap, blue chip stocks paying between a 2 to 4% dividend yield that would be paying you well over $60,000 in yearly dividends. Meaning you could live off the dividend income of the portfolio without touching it or drawing it down and within 10 years be a multi millionaire. People look at the 25 to 30 years of hard work to ever get to a million in wealth forgetting that at that point it replicates the next million on its own in a fraction of the time.

      Same way, generally, as if you were 25. Just start saving for retirement in your 401k, Roth IRA and brokerage account. Building that saving muscle is the #1 priority. As you begin to adjust your budget over time, you'll have built up that muscle which will enable you to save more each month. Set it and forget it, live below your means and you'll end up being in a much better position down the road.

    I never understand why the percentages are based on gross income instead of net income. It’s true that on paper, we make one amount, but let’s be real. It doesn’t make sense to budget around money that never sees your pocket 🥴

    • @mjhenderson0311

    • @bygone8676
      @bygone8676 Рік тому +1

      And to side step the effects of inflation. After 1Mil today will have about the buying power of 350k in 40 years at 3% inflation. So the question is can you live off of a 4% of 350k today. Aka 14k a year. Probably not.

    • @mskuriscak
      @mskuriscak Рік тому +1

      This is the biggest issue. the volatility of being 100% in equities is not really "financial peace". its a roller coaster ride full of sequence of return risk. trying to not touch the nest egg didn't work for people who retired during certain parts of the 90's and early 00's. whether shooting for a fixed expense rate (70-120k in retirement) or living off a percentage of the earnings (7-12%) you either run out of money because you had to dip into principal or you spent the last 12 years living off 40k.

    • @Tastefuls

    I’d love to see what the retirement figures look like for someone making around $40-45,000 per year who started seriously investing in their 40’s. I was making nowhere near 70K in my 20’s. Contributing $800 a month to my retirement back then would’ve been unrealistic. I’d really appreciate retirement numbers for the below average earners. Thank you!

    The figure of $1 million was coined in 1996 as a good retirement amount that same amount of money today with inflation is 2.2 million in another 25 to 30 years this 2.2 million today will be 4.6 to 5,000,000 it’s kind of crazy when you think of it that way in 30 years 5 million will be the new 1 million just wanted to make sure everybody was nice and depressed if you were having a good day.

    you don't need 1 mil or more in an IRA or TSP to retire IF you are debt free, have a good federal pension ( plus health insurance, with the same premium as when working) + SS and know your expenses. I actually make more in net retirement then when I was working (net).

    The average social security benefit is around 20 grand a year. If you're married, and your average, that means your household income from social security is 40000 a year. Thats a good benefit... Not enough to retire on, but certainly nothing to sneeze at.

    Sequence of returns risk. A quick look at any retirement calculator shows that withdrawing $70,00 from a $1M portfolio fails 55% of the time. Meanwhile using George's averages has a couple receiving $1,669 a piece for an annual income of $40,056. Then taking 5% of the average nest egg of $170,000 is $8,500 for a total of $48,556. Not exactly walking in tall cotton but.... And the market might average 10-12% but compounds at 6.9%. Dave and his crew are ALWAYS overly optimistic. Even in his market return example of up 28% then down18%, he ends averaging 2.8%.

I needed 3 motorcycles, cuz one wasn’t enough. And a truck to carry it. Now I have $670, $276 and $186 monthly payments. Like a dum dum. And 16 credit cards all almost maxed out. Making minimum payments which are taken up by the finance charges! So spinning my wheels 🛞.

I have listed all of my expendable property, everything I can sell is being sold! Going to save the $1k and starting on the snowball with credit cards. And last note, all of those things that we feel we deserve or need we actually don’t. Absolutely nothing I have purchased has ever given me any happiness past the initial 15 min of ownership. We don’t need anything, not the 75 inch TV, not the $40k truck, none of that.

    George, I really enjoy your videos. They are so entertaining and informative. In this video, the numbers can be a little misleading because it is common for people to work at multiple companies during their lifetime. However, the Fidelity numbers represent average account balances. So a 50-year-old with ten 401K accounts valued at an average of $100K, would have $1M and be in good shape despite the Fidelity numbers suggesting otherwise.

    If you have a 401K or 403B and you WANT to retire early, say 55, you can access your 401K or 403B IF you separate from your work when you retire at age 55. Which is what you want to do when you retire. Also if you started contributing to your IRA at least five years ago, you can withdraw what you put into your Roth IRA before 59-1/2. 59-1/2 is when you can begin to withdraw your earnings without penalty. So there are many places where you can get money as you are retired and waiting to turn 59-1/2
