I believe the retirement crisis will get even worse. Many struggle to save due to low wages, rising prices, and exorbitant rents. With homeownership becoming unattainable for middle-class Americans, they may not have a home to rely on for retirement either.

Got it! Buying stocks during a recession when prices are down could be a good move. You might get them at a lower price and sell later when they go up. Just do your homework and be aware of the risks before diving in!

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

Geoff's 8 Recommendations: 1. Wait to take you Social Security 2. Use a tool, not a rule... for taking your available assets. 3. Get free money from your employer...with matching funds for your 401k. 4. Hire a Tax Planner...not a tax preparer just to do your taxes. 5. Spending like a Pro...not like a budgeter. Remove emotions...maximize your spending. 6. Wait one extra year to retire...you will have fewer years to refund in retirement. Guaranteed increase of 5%. 7. Downsize your home....or sell your home and rent. 8. Reverse mortgage. Understand the benefits of a reverse mortgage. Great Video, as usual.

Sure, a reverse mortgage sounds sketchy until you consider selling and renting moving forward - have you seen what currents rents are??? Finding a rental you like, a landlord who is agreeable, who won't increase your rent and have you searching again next year. One who won't make you pay for maintenance on HIS property, good neighbors. But examine carefully. Good luck.

I had employee's who would not participate in our 401k program even with a 3% match. Even with my encouragement + a financial advisor giving the presentation every year. Foolish not to at least put 3% in and get 100% return. It's a marathon; not a sprint. Statistically you're better off in 20 years. And some wonder why they can't afford to retire!

Very please to hear your objective views regarding a Reverse Mortgage. Unlike D. Ramsey, you expressed a perspective without excessive bias (in spite of admitting that you're not a fan of this financial product). There are folks who do not have heirs and could greatly benefit or enjoy the proceeds from a substantial asset involving equity in their home while they are living as opposed to leaving the fruit(s) of their labor for some one else. As you stated, it's all about being well informed.

My strategy: I enlisted in the military when I turned 18. I retired as a run-of-the-mill captain, but I've collected retirement pay since I was 36. I repeated it later on with the federal government, serving 13 years as a GS-15, and getting another retirement pension from it. These two pensions pay me about $55K per year, and they both come with health benefits. Plus, my high income for most of my working life boosts my Social Security near the maximum. Because I'm still killing it in private practice, I've deferred taking this (and will likely do so until age 70). These factors, plus a million in retirement investments, means I'm doing ok.

You retired from the military at age 36 ? It takes a minimum of 20 years to retire; so you would have had to join at age 16. You indicated age 18; so you would have been enlisted. Yet, you retired as an O-3 ? Something is just not making sense here. As an aside, I retired as a CU-15 (same as GS, basically) at age 56, with 32 years of service. My retirement gig is CFO at a large credit union.

It doesn't have to make sense to you. Another fact: I entered government service as a GS-15, Step 10. I hope that's okay with you. A "retirement gig" in a job is not a retirement gig. It's a job.

Thanks for your input! For a while a company I worked at would match a portion of up to 15% of 401K depending on how well the company did that year. I think the few years this match existed, it averaged 25% of what I put in. Guess who borrowed from 401K to allow enough money to invest the 15%. Even though I had to pay government fees/taxes to pull it out, it allowed me to put 25% down on a house. That being said, I spend like a kid in a candy store currently. At least at my favorite Pizza/Pasta place. It is my Cheers (where everybody knows your name), and it is my place to study when I am in study mode. Walking distance from my home though I often drive due to weather or time constraints. Do not plan to retire until 72, then move to consulting, but we don't always have control of the future.

The taking social security timing is really interesting. Those who really need the income may take it at 62 or at their full retirement age of 65 to 67. Those that don’t need it can wait and get the largest benefit by waiting till they turn 70. I’m a “one percenter” who has assets in excess of $20 million. I don’t need social security but at age 74 receive the maximum benefit.

I’m sorry but investing in your 401k or working longer both involve either working or saving more. Delaying social security might for some people also mean working more.

Can someone explain the 4% rule to me? If the S&P 500 averages 8-10% each year why can’t we take 8% and still not touch the principle?
@jalatlaco9827
@jalatlaco9827 Ай бұрын
It actually doesn't avg 8-10% each year. It averages 8-10% over many years, with some years in the negative. The 4% rule is based on research (not really a rule) that determined that a portfolio of 50-70% equities would not deplete over 30 years if you take 4% each year and increase each year by inflation. Before this research advisors were telling clients to take 8-10% and many ran out of money....hence the need for research. Many who follow the 4% rule will have more money at the end than they started with. But some will have a much smaller portfolio at the end. This mostly depends on sequence of returns (and maybe inflation-I'm not sure). So what the 4% rule does is tell you that in every possible scenario (of good years and bad years) you will not deplete your portfolio-because no one wants to run out of money at 90.

Because if you have one foot in a bucket of ice water and the other foot in a bucket of lava, ON AVERAGE, you feel fine. If you withdraw 4% and inflation eats 5% and the market only returns 6%, your principal is going down.

Take SS at 62 if you're not working; even if you don't need the money. You can invest it and make much more than waiting on 67 or 70!

Ok, move to FL ; no income tax , but HOA, TAXES, Insurance, all a nightmare. Property expensive cost of living expenses, crowded, FL not like it was , appliances & vehicles need repair or replacement. Max SS , Ok , Look before U leap . U can retire to early. & the other side of the coin U can out live your $ . Health cost also come into play Retirement needs planning & things can still go wrong . Enjoying inflation ? Reverse Mortgage, they steal your equity. Rent ya live with renter losers & their cockroach’s & noise & drugs . Go head LOL .

Maybe. Examine it. I don't have children, or anyone else who needs to benefit from my passing. RENTS ARE RIDICULOUS! Landlords are not always great, rental choices, ??? Neighbors?? Staying in your own home, being comfortable, but spending all the money from it before you die - how else would you work that out? I had planned to be a renter beyond 72, to spend my money and not have concerns about home maintenance, etc - but I already can't afford today's rental market. There have been dramatic financial changes in the last 4 years. Time and circumstances change everything...

I am definitely going to put a reverse mortgage on my house, and I am a person who hasn’t had any debt not even a mortgage for many years. I am 65, retired, will wait to draw SS until I am 70. At some point after that (maybe 75 or 80) I will probably get a reverse mortgage for about 50% LTV or less. Why not? I have no idea what I will spend the money on, but why not treat myself? Maybe a really nice vacation every year until I am no longer able.
