      Don't put all your eggs in one basket; instead, diversify into different asset classes to mitigate risk. If you lack extensive knowledge, consult a financial advisor.

      Accurate asset allocation is crucial with an Experts guidance. I have 850k in equity, 300K cash earning 5.25 interest, 685k in 401k, 250k cash account, 120k in car assets ( paid off cars) Gold and silver bars. age is 48.

    Based in the data it looks like you need about $1 million or more to retire comfortably in many places in the US... assuming you have no other source of income. I'd say $1.25 million is a good goal to account for fluctuations. Of course, some will need more and some will need less.
    If you have other sources of income you can reduce the amount you have invested yourself. What you'll find is that a lot of times people will have other sources of income, have a spouse, and/or can rely on family members for assistance.

      Data is usually collected for household. When single assume about 70-80% of the household cost, or use your actual cost.
      Also account for healthcare cost.
      Some assumptions will include having a paid off house, so your housing cost should be lower.

    If you cannot live somewhat comfortably, if not luxuriously on 46K, the avg social security income for a couple, particularly if your mortgage is paid off (you paid it off prior to retiring, right?), then you must have had a pre-retirement income that should have generated a solid retirement fund… so it appears you’ve been living a lifestyle beyond your means all along.
    Or perhaps you need to move to a location with a more rational cost of living.

    So if we have more than a million, should we watch the video. I believe the surveys about as much as polling data. I know people that I assume have less then a million but I know multiple with more so not sure about the survey. How do they know they are getting a good sample? Sometime the surveys don't even ask good questions. Saving 20% is very good but even 10-15% if started young enough and invested consistantly without withdrawing the funds is reasonable.

    Great video. As a long term holder and trader we don't care much about current price. As a trader looking to buy when oversold and sell when overbought, the weekly and 2 week charts are showing us we're oversold and it's a great time to buy more. Price on 2 wk bouncing off a rising 20 MA. Price on weekly chart is bouncing off a rising 40 Ma. The stochastic RSI on both charts is way oversold.
    Translation, great time to buy. Thx again for the different ways/ perspectives/ lenses to look at BTC's potential.

Over half had small pensions and/or brokerage accounts and their homes were paid off and most were collecting social security. One can live a comfortable life with $1m saved.

      You must live in rarified demographics. The survey statistics show your generalization to others, of your personal situation is just plain incorrect.
      The US census says the median US household income for 2023 was $80K. Using the pretty typical (and conservative for many) post retirement 80% of pre-retirement income estimate would be $64K. Median. So half of Americans would be below that. The average SS household income is $46K, leaving a potential gap of $18K. $18K divided by the 4% rule = $450K in retirement savings… for the median household.

    The US economy is a powerhouse with a diverse range of sectors. The stock market and the dollar have traditionally been safe havens due to their long-term growth and stability. However, potential downturns are part of the economic cycle, and laws are in place to manage defaults and asset seizures. Inflation can be a concern, but remember, certain assets like stocks and Crypto’s acts as a hedge. Long & short-term trading is generally safer, allowing investors to weather market volatility. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months...
