    Question . coming up on 65 years old. Time to start looking at the Distribution stage of retirement. With an IRA, ROTH IRA and a smaller inherent IRA. To day that value is just over 1,000,000 . The value is bouncing a little over and under that benchmark. What portfolio do you recommend. Planning to work to between 67-70. At least that's the plan.

      Net worth is a measurement of financial wealth by determining the difference between of your financial assets and your financial liabilities. A simple way to think about it is what you own minus what you owe.

    Troll Data: in 40 years, $1,000,000 will equal roughly $306,500 in today’s dollar (assuming an average of 3% annual inflation)
    This is one reason why Brian recommends a 25% savings rate over the 10-15% other investors recommend

    The Money Guy team made their formula more sophisticated than needed. 10 + Years til 40 is the same as Years til 50.
    Still much better than the millionaire next door formula for young earners. TMG scale doesn’t give absurd numbers to people who haven’t even earned what their expected wealth should be.

      Just pick a target date retirement fund if you're unsure, otherwise index funds like an S&P 500 fund. Don't go into anything really risky like single stocks, but you also have several decades for growth, so I wouldn't be investing in something as conservative as bonds yet.

    Jokes aside, how about people in some 3rd world countries whose income is only 350 dollars a month, and that's the minimum wage for like undergraduate on my country capital. How much do you suggest I should save?
    Also, most of my place in my country wages are only 200$/month with rent cost half of that. How much do you suggest we should save because hearing you guys talk about how easy it is people in their 20s should save 100$/month is downright unrealistic. I guess people who never know hardship have it easier.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@thedaumworldSpeaking of math.. their math (or at least the assumptions they claim are represented in their math) is wrong. The illustrations always say that they assume a decreasing rate of return of 0.1% per year, but that is false. The results shown are only if you retain that 10% over the entire life of the investment, never decreasing.
