Retired 2 years ago. Golf, travel, fitness classes. Just love it. 3 kids all independent, and moved out. Some of my friends like multi-generational living. Their kid(s) live with them, and they have their spouse, and kids. I like coming home to a quiet, peaceful house. Relaxing. My kids, grandchildren can come over anytime if we don’t have plans, but after dinner, they all go back to their own household.
I just turned 51 and awfully late to investing with barely any portfolio except my 401k, I have a decent amount of cash saved up and with inflation currently soaring AGAIN, I’m getting worried about retirement, my intention is to retire at 65 atleast, so how best do I maximize my savings.
Agreed, I always emphasize the significance of having an advisor. This has not only help to revamp my portfolio but has also kept me afloat since the covid-19 outbreak to date. I'm only about 10% shy of my first million dollar after subsequent investments.

Retirement is now more difficult than it was in the past. I've been saving for a long time instead of investing, and right now I only have about $400K. considering all the inflation, i'm thinking of investing in stocks, i dont just have idea on market strategies.
At a point like this, when the pressure is already on you to retire, its best recommended you seek the services of an advisor, as this allows you make smarter investing decisions.
It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $30k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

@HolySchmidt. I am 76 with an MBA in finance. There might be better ideas but I think the following is strong. The sp500 etf SPY goes up most years. Take most of that increase as a withdrawal in January to deposit in your checking account for bills thru out the year. Take zero in those few down years. Ignore cpi for this. For example, if spy increased as it actually did recently at 25% then withdrawal most but not all such as 15 or 20%. If you limit any withdrawal to only up years then you never run out of money. Yes, I assume you have adequate pensions for cash flowing normal monthly bills most of the time. In our case, we do.
I believe the retirement crisis will get even worse. Many struggle to save due to low wages, rising prices, and exorbitant rents. With homeownership becoming unattainable for middle-class Americans, they may not have a home to rely on for retirement either.

Good video. One thing important for early retirees is your social security benefit calculation is heavily weighted to your top 35 years of SS wage income.
“Retiring” at 29, makes me laugh. I wouldn’t call it retiring from something that wasn’t even done long enough to be considered a career, that’s more like winning the lottery.
My "strategy" is to work at least until 72 (~11 years from now) and to get a certification related to my job which is very marketable next Spring (2025). Real life says I work in a volatile industry which prefers youngsters and men...no matter what they say. So need backup plan. Plus health issues happen more often as we age. After 72 I would love to consult a few days per week. Other than knowing that I have contributed to various 401Ks, etc. I need to work on knowing where/what it (money) is during my next 6 weeks "boot camp" which happens every quarter. Last time was focused on where my money went each month currently. I allow myself to have fun and to study/train, but feel the outgo is okay but worth keeping an eye on. This time it is to actually know if I have the retirement plan/backup plan/any plan I think I have...pretty sure I do, but need to know specifics.
I don't know how these numbers are supposed to work out... 1) children care for elderly parents - not common 2) work as long as possible - layoff? die at your desk? 3) charity / community - don't count on it 4) shelters / "poor houses" - yeah, really? 5) variable annuities - too expensive 6) market timing, trading - high risk 7) pension obligation bond - red flag for pension recipients 8) retire too early, FIRE - inadequate savings, skills and age when need to go back to work 9) ignoring inflation - 20% more expensive in 4 years, you need more income 10) excessive withdrawal rate - deplete your savings
I retired after 47 years of working and always contributed to a 401k (but no pension). After rolling the funds into an IRA, the government makes it easy with the annual RMD table.
Wondering how those who retire early pay for health insurance. The ACA is crazy expensive. If you don't pay into Medicare, what are your options as you age? Thankfully, I don't need to worry about that. But I did work my youth away. I hope the issue is resolved for the younger generations.
From what I have read, some get a high deductible policy with an HSA for investments. They count on not needing a lot of outpatient care and just keep catastrophic coverage, hoping the HSA investments will grow with time.
Your government support is off of EARNED INCOME. If your earned income is less than $50k/ year you pay near nothing for the health insurance. If you research this and are able to use already taxed cash it becomes doable.
@@LisaSimplified I retired at 62 and went on the bronze Obamacare plan. My wife and I didn't pay any premiums over the 3 years we were on Obamacare. We didn't have any debts so we could live well while keeping our income low enough to qualify for the full subsidy. We stuffed the HSA so we had money to cover the high deductible. We got lucky and spent very little and due to investment returns my HSA has more money in it now than it did when I first retired.
@@barrybearman3511 I use the ACA and it has been fantastic. However, the income limit is much lower than you indicate. The amount that is subsidized is based upon a sliding scale. At 50k/yr you would have sizable (but still less than private sector) premiums.

Inflation currently 3%? You must be talking about the CPI, which excludes food and energy. The real amount of inflation is much higher, somewhere around 9-11% in the last 2 years!
