This video discusses 15 things you need to get done BEFORE you retire. Many of these decisions can't be undone, so getting them right now is really important to optimize retirement. While many of the 15 are financial, some are simply about awareness and action rather than big financial decisions, and they can make all the difference in the world!

Most Americans find it hard to retire comfortably amid economy crisis. Some have close to nothing going into retirement, my question is, do I pull cash from my 401k and buy a house, or spread my money in stocks for cashflow? I'd love to afford my lifestyle after retirement?

Rising prices have affected my intention of retiring at 62, working part-time, and building my savings. I'm worried about whether individuals who weathered the 2008 financial crisis found it less challenging than my current situation. The stock market's volatility, coupled with a reduced income, is making me anxious about having enough for retirement.

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

I am 50 years old with very little set aside for retirement at this point. I have always been curious about the stock market and have witnessed some people who played the game right and retired early because they used the stock market. When I ask them, most said that they invested very little to start with, but their portfolio grew. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns

One thing people don’t often thinking about when deciding when to take social security is the limit on the amount of income you can earn while receiving benefits, which actually just increased. Instead of seeing this as a negative think of it as a positive. In other words not only can you receive a monthly payment but you can also supplement that doing something you enjoy and find fulfilling. I love hiking and backpacking and for the last two years had seasonal jobs in outdoor stewardship with nonprofit organizations like the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and the Appalachian Mountain Club. I was an attorney in a former life :)

My mother lives in New York City in an outer borough and because she is a senior citizen with an income of under $58,000 they cut her assessment of her home in half plus she got a veteran exemption for my father who is deceased so her taxes are only $3000. Her neighbors have a higher income so they are paying $8,000. The man who lives next door gets a good pension so his income is much higher. They are almost the same age as my mother and moved in at the same time 50 years ago. The program is enhanced star in NYC and they have raised the limit to $86,000 income according to what I just looked up. It goes up again next year.

A lot of good advice! I'd add: (1) try to pay off your mortgage - we did and its been a huge relief; (2) Consider local property taxes and insurance rates when considering your retirement location - I've seen insurance rates go through the roof in locations that suffer weather related emergencies and I've also seen property taxes be $5000+ for relatively modest 200K homes; (3) do a "what-if" analysis on your income and expense forecasts. A friend of mine had to give up his second home when the markets tanked last year; and (4) let close relatives know about any powers-of-attorneys or other estate plans.

Is there a quasi-breakeven point when doing Roth conversions don't make sense? For example, my wife and I are 63 and retired. We have $372K in a traditional IRA at a national brokerage firm (with a 100% stock allocation) and guaranteed income (social security-that we claimed at 62-and three pensions that are adjusted for inflation and has survivors benefit at 50%) that covers all our expenses; including our home mortgage-with a 2.75% interest rate. We plan on withdrawing up to the standard deduction each year from our traditional IRA, rather than doing Roth Conversions. Albeit, we have a contingency $250K term life policy with my wife as the sole beneficiary that’s earmarked to cover the cost of Roth conversions should I pass away before age 75. However, we have run the numbers and it seems like the breakeven point for doing Roth conversions for traditional IRA balances is $500K or more. At least that the case and our situation; thus, my question.

Before you retire, make sure that you tell your close friends and family. Especially those that choose to retire early, it is often difficult to discuss with friends and family because a lot of people don't understand that such a thing is possible without immediately relying on social security and/or medicare. (F.I.R.E) I didn't do this and now It is difficult to explain that I am retired from a W-2 job in my late 20s. At least I do some internet marketing and real estate investing so that is what I sat that I "do" for work.

Like anyone else, I will forget something and go wtf, why didn’t I think of it. Until then, I will keep on the path I’ve created. I never know when my employer will say, it’s time to go.

The term “Trust” can mean many things. Many/Most wills have a revocable living trust component so the recipients don’t have to go through a lengthy and expensive legal process called probate after the deceased, well, decease’s. They usually cost a few hundred dollars to set up.

@HolySchmidt Ok all im saying is why is it that you have to worry about the future that doesn't include you i say spend spend spend the stuff you acquired has value , your heirs can sell that and have what that is worth. if you did it right you will not need to be supporting your heirs they will be able to carry on without you. was that not the goal .. # you wife is part of that party.

NO DEBT 1) Payoff ALL credit cards 2) Buy used car CASH. NO car loans. 3) Payoff your mortgage 4) No student loans

@gimcrack555 29 күн бұрын

I paid off all my credit cards at age 36. Been debt free since than. I paid cash for my first used car in cash and the one I have own for the past 13+ years. Not once bought a new car and never will. I'm currently 60. Funny I did it backwards as owning a home. Been renting all my life, until I reach the age of 56. I bought my first home and I paid cash for it. So I'm still debt free. Never when to college so no student loans. Jump the band wagon to the workforce on day one after high school. Never regretted that decision at all. I rented so long, because I move from town to town, city to city, state to state. To mark off things on my bucket list. Yes, I started working on my bucket list while I was young. Because I knew for a fact a fail old man couldn't do them. So I didn't waited until I retired. I did my retirement backwards as well. I did the semi-retirement as between jobs. I was moving from place to place. So I been saving up not a nest eggs but what I call golden goose eggs. As fund between jobs. My breaks between jobs can be 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months or even 1-3 years. My longest break between jobs have been 2 years and 9 months. Will be working on the 3 years sometime down the line.

@@HolySchmidt Well, yeah……so how can analysts, KZfaq presenters, counselors, etc say that it is stupid to or no one should apply for Social Security at age 62? Yeah, they go by statistics, estimates, analytics, graphs charts, longevity tables, etc. I’m 61, coming up on 62, but still earn a 6 figure income, so applying for SS would not make sense. But, I’ve also been diagnosed with arterial blockage and surgeons want to cut me open, which I do not want to do. I may even lose this job, for these medical reasons, but cannot think about retiring g until at least debt and mortgage is paid ( mid 2024, on paper).

At 65 and still working until 66 and 8 months, my full retirement age, I've wondered about that . Then I realized, if I don't live until then missing out on retirement won't matter. I'm dead and won't be missing anything in this life. After I accepted my mortality I felt like a weight had been lifted from my life. I wish long life, health and happiness to all.

An important thing to understand is your family history and what kind of longevity they had. In my family nobody has lived past 80 at the high end. My mom died at 65. I am 63 now and don't plan on working past 65 tops.

I'm planning to move abroad when I retire but haven't chosen one place to settle yet. I've visited 40 countries over the years and have a short list of my top 3 cities. What helped me finalize my plan was to research retirement visa requirements and taxation, housing, cost of living expenses, healthcare, public transit and leisure activities. Lots of countries are changing their visa programs so staying up to date with the latest news has become essential if you plan to leave your home country.

Take climate change into account. Florida will be mostly underwater in the next 30 years. Extreme heat and drought are going to make the southwest much less livable as time goes on. Wildfires and hurricanes will require bugging out at intervals, and as you get older, bugging out becomes progressively harder.
