    Step 1: Live to a budget.
    Step 2: Put as much aside as you are comfortably able to.
    Step 3: Spend on your hobbies and things that are important to you. Try not to spend money on stuff, like gadgets, or things that you know will eventually sit in a cupboard. Instead spend your money having lunch with friends and family etc. Embrace free/cheap and healthy activities like walking around parks and the countryside, cycling etc.
    Step 4: At the point of retirement you have already been living within your means for many years and have already developed the good habits that will see you live a long and happy retirement.
    Step 5: Enjoy!

    The best way to find growth stocks, key features to keep in mind is as follows:
    1. Ensure gross margins are greater than 50%
    2. Ensure P/E ratio is less than 100
    3. Buy companies that are PROFITABLE, very important irrespective of sector.
    4. Debt to equity ratio is less than 30%
    5. Current ratio is above 1 6. and a Float under 100 million One stock that fits the bill is FLGT (Fulgent)

    Income does not just come from investments. You get a state pension. My wife and I could live off my state pension alone (it covers all our living costs). With both state pensions we could live comfortably. Add private pensions and our capital is increasing by more than investment return. Despite retiring at 52. Shock? no- it is all in fixed interest. I have enough- why risk my capital to get more than I will ever spend?

    Suggest retirement portfolio be designed to generate more dividends than current cost of living amounts.
    EG, if median annual cost of living is 23000 pounds sterling, then design portfolio to do 50000* pounds sterling.
    Go ahead and use the 23000 pounds sterling annually, and recycle the difference to buy more portfolio stock(s).
    This should more than offset inflation, which the Fed targets ~ 2-3% under normal circumstances, and allow for greater inflation adjusted future distributions.
    *50000 is just a guess for illustration purposes, end users will have to iterate their own specific value to match their comfort zone(s).

  • @ridekernow

    In your scenario with a 20,30,40etc year old starting out, it looks as though it assumes the 20 year old won't be earning the figures you've used for an average 30 year old (inflation adjusted) when they reach 30, it appears to assume that they will stay on the equivalent income. This implies that they would be better off loafing about until they are 30 where they earn more, save less and end up with a better income at retirement (at a lower age!) than if they start work at 20 - which (unless you take into account that they might have stayed studying to get that higher income) isn't normally the case.

      All financial decisions are unique to each individual but my 2 cents is you are probably doing the right thing, as long as your pension scheme has reasonable fees and a decent set of funds options. If not, you might want to consider moving your historic pension pot to a pensions provider that offers you better rates/products. Stick to the big brands and make sure they are fully regulated etc.... to avoid scams

  • @gilkatz2845
    @gilkatz2845 4 роки тому +1

    Aren't the estimations of 4-5% returns over inflation? If so, that would mean you should put inflation to 0 in your Excel simulation, or add the inflation you choose to your returns. Also, since historical yearly returns, as well as forecasted ones, take the event of a big crash into consideration, in order to have comparable results in your final simulation you should increase returns on the other years (except for the one where the "crash" happens) in order to keep the average the same as without the crash. This would change results a bit but not the conclusion that one is most sensitive to crashes close to the date of retirement.

    • @Pensioncraft
      @Pensioncraft  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Gil the returns are nominal i.e. not over inflation. I wanted to keep the analysis as simple as possible but still show the effect of a "shock" versus age. As you say, additional bells and whistles would have complicated the analysis without changing the conclusion. Thanks, Ramin.

      If people think prices will go down instead of up they won't spend and consumption will drop. Why is it exactly 2%? I don't know.
      There is also the relationship between unemployment and inflation, if the latter goes up there will, theoretically, be more jobs as companies will expect future growth.

    Another nicely worked video. I imagine it was meant to limit its scope to the mechanism by which a pension is accumulated and drawn down for simplicity of explanation, hence no mention of any state benefit entitlements. With ref. to the Shock factor during the drawdown phase which some have commented on. The common plan for this scenario is to have 2-4 years emergency income in cash/near cash so that drawdown ceases until a stock market recovery appears. Assuming the pot is big enough, this is a sensible use for the 25% tax free element, rather than spending it on a new car/holiday/caravan etc., which unfortunately so many seem to be doing.

    I don’t know, I’m no financial planner but if you assume inflation to be on average 2.5% to 3.0%, your return on equity investment would probably be more than 4.0%. If you are assuming a return on your equity investment of 4.0% then a inflation of 0.9% is more reasonable? A 4% return on equity investment minus management fee and minus inflation of 2.5% would yield a real negative growth, who would put money into something like that, might as well spend all your money now

    I'm disappointed that all videos on this topic always assume that the goal is to spend all savings during retirement and they never analyse the implications of spending less during retirement than the savings' annual ROI. This way you have a capital that can be transmitted to the next generations and continues to generate a (possibly small) return every year forever.
    It's a way to stop the cycle where each generation in a family must start saving from zero. In my opinion each generation should try to leave to the next more savings than they got from the previous, instead of assuming a reset every time. It doesn't need to be millions but even 50k or 100k when invested for decades across generations can make a big difference.

      E.g. raise children with a middle-class lifestyle, expect them to work in their 20's and 30's, give them some financial education before disclosing the existence of the family's capital... It's not bulletproof but it improves the odds.
      I'd love to see some discussion of these multi-generation plans but all advise on YT, blogs and articles always stops at death.
      It's not a subtle difference: experts often suggest private pension plans that cannot be transferred indefinitely between generations, so the suggestions that they give often help parents but are suboptimal for their children and the tradeoffs are never even mentioned.

    The shock 50% falls appear to be followed by the average returns thereafter in your modelling. But big shocks like that would hopefully be followed by a period of higher returns to make the overall annual returns match the long term assumption. Like the period we're in now. A decade + of out performance after 50% + falls.

      Hi UK Amateur Investor Diary in 2008, for example, most equity markets fell by more than 50% (e.g. the S&P 500 fell 56% and took until 2013 to reach its previous peak in 2007). So you could think of the 50% fall factoring in the bounce afterwards. But that kind of detail is irrelevant as I was trying to show the sensitivity of a wealth shock at different points in the accumulation & drawdown periods. Thanks, Ramin.

    govermment pension should be taken into accounts. In canada you get a old age federal pension on top of a retired provincial pension. you cant live on that but for a middle class average income worker as of today it gives you about half of the income to live off okay in canada (15k-20k/year). Pretty sure there is similar gov. pension in most countries.

Are you advocating a pension so that your money " doesn't run out " or suggesting simply investing and " hoping " your money doesn't run out , assuming decent financial /spending habits in later life ? As I say , a pension never runs out , whereas investing with a view to living off the income and capital could run out very quickly ( theoretically ). Thanks for response btw.

      Hi @@johnristheanswer I am trying to help people gauge how much of their salary they need to set aside (as a minimum) so that their pension savings don't run out before they die. What I'm assuming is that someone builds up savings while working then retires, has zero income, and draws down those savings for their living expenses. So under those assumptions, their savings _can_ run out if the amount they withdraw per year exceeds the growth of the savings. Thanks, Ramin.

    As i have just turned 65 and half i now draw my state pension . As a lad i grew up working on fairgrounds in the summer and working as a coalman in the winters and loads of different jobs inbetween , Ive always worked in jobs where there wasnt an option to join a pension fund and if there was i couldnt afford to contribute because i was supporting my family . Not all of us had the luxury of having a disposable income . I still work full time and probably will until i peg it but let us not forget that to pay into a pension fund you must be able to afford to . There are many that have trouble making ends meet and working on zero hours contracts and cant see beyond tomorrow never mind years away . People need security to make a commitment like a pension.

      Don't forget that if you do save but "have a crash" at say 40 years old, the fact tha you ave saved rather than had foreign holidays, etc, means that the government will exclude you from the benefits system THAT *YOUR* TAXES WILL HAVE PAID FOR and they will tell you to use your money first before they will help you!!!

    Of course, if you are also going to receive the state pension and you also have a modest pension from your employer you might only need to invest half that figure to get to £20,000 a year. Also, if like me you paid your mortgage off when you were 40 and you can live quite happily on as little as £5, 000 a year then 4% on your investments looks fantastic given the current economic situation.

      @@dallassukerkin6878 Ah, but that's because I'm a writer and prefer to spend my time in the house at my computer. If you like to dine out and go on holidays abroad and still have a mortgage to pay then my rate of saving will make you miserable. As they say, each to their own. What I would say to anyone younger than me is at least make a start by saving £100 a month into some kind of investment whether that be index funds or collectables like premium single malt whisky which is the kind of stuff I invest in. The point is to invest in something you understand and can accept in terms of risk then just keep investing month after month and year after year until you reach your financial goals. In the end, there is always going to be a risk when you invest just as there's a risk with not investing, too.

      ​@@diegoyuiop you may be right but given that millennials will likely benefit from inherited wealth from the largest and wealthiest generation in history, baby boomers, it means if they are savvy with their money and invest it wisely they may not need the state pension. In any case it's probably wise to aim to have £200,000 in assets by retirement because that would probably give you a around £8000 a year to drawdown which is not far off what the state pension is and perfectly livable on as I've been living on £4000 a year for the last five years.

    When the average pensioner reaches 70 his/her financial needs diminish (according to data I was shown by a pension advisor) and the obvious reason is people become inactive, stay indoors more and don't holiday as much and the State pension of £9000 p.a. would probably cover their needs beyond 70.

    • @dallassukerkin6878
      @dallassukerkin6878 3 роки тому

      I wouldn't count on that.
      I live a bare bones existence already at nearly 60. I have had precisely one holiday that didn't involve just staying at home in my entire life. The only 'extravagance' I indulge in is decent broadband, which really is more of a necessity in the modern world.
      Even if I slashed everything to the absolute bare minimum (no eating out, no booze, no subscription media etc) then outgoings would be higher than my state pension (having been hoodwinked into opting out for a few years). Indeed, in my case outgoings now are higher than what the state pension plus my employer pension (which has been appallingly handled) will be!
      So I have less than ten years (assuming I am not made to retire at 'retirement' age) to ensure a private income of around £500/month to fill in the gap and cope with at least a few years of inflation. It might be possible, it might not. It all depends on factors outside of my control and that is deeply troubling.
