One thing you should have covered with myth 1 is SSA life period tables. I’m going to trust what an actuary says more than anything else. And your life expectancy changes based on your current age based on historical data.
Thank goodness for the replay button because the first time I watched, I was so distracted by Errorics tan line on his forehead wondering is that from a head band or tiara.
I bought a 20 year bond 3 months ago paying 4.75% with a YTM of 4.86%. It was below par at $98 and now it’s over $103 so the gain is more than 1 years interest. My 3 month gain with accrued interest if I sold now would be 10% (40% on an annual basis). The issue is that I now need to replace it and current bonds are at 4.5%. If I hold I could gain more as rates decline but that will just mean replacing with even lower yield. Holding to maturity guarantees a decrease back to par.
Sounds like retirement is much more simple in every other leading economically advanced country, other than The USA. Have to admit, I’m jealous of their healthcare costs, and systems.
For bonds vol comparison why did you choose 20+ year bond fund? Yes we know long term bonds are highly volatile. I suspect most people would be short to intermediate term bonds.
It's not a myth most people pay less taxes in retirement Most people will pay less taxes in retirement. Have you seen the median retirement savings in this country
@@Jim-mz1cf maybe But life happens and having a higher tax rate takes a lot because you put the money in a traditional at your highest marginal tax rate and you take it out starting at the lowest tax rate
@@johngill2853Assuming tax rates don’t go up I would agree with you, but I anticipate rates will go up so there will be people with lower incomes paying higher tax rates. Only time will tell.
Thanks for watching! What other myths have you seen out there that people fail to plan for? Let us know! 🙏

Can't divulge much, I take guidance from ''Karen Lynne Chess'' and most likely, the internet should have her basic info, simply research.

Use 90 for longevity. Make sure you are not eating dog food as an old goat.

Thank you Boys good info as always, if they cant take the joke as a joke then they probably should stick to a saving account. Ha ha
Classy.
Big fan from Muncie here.
We're in your backyard tonight! Appreciate you watching!
On Myth 4, Volatility: Bonds (i.e ladder) vs bond funds. All you volatility is in the funds if you are holding any bonds in bond ladders to maturity.
For longevity, For some one my age, I like to use average plus 1 sigma standard deviation.
glad I went by the Walgreens before I saw this :)
At least you weren't in one when you heard it 😅
Good joke I approve
The antenna one, right? 😅

I agree with you, but I would guess that the majority of people who watch financial videos on UA-cam are not like most people.
