Never too late. 51 here and making a start - if anything just to mitigate the lost opportunities so far. If I had known the real value of compounding (for example) 30 years back, life would be so much different. Yet more reasons to include basic financial literacy (how to understand projections, yield calculations, gilts/bonds/ETF etc. and how to compare options) in school curricula.
@shellyperera2010 Ай бұрын
Completely agree. It's a scandal that this is not taught in schools. Access to free/affordable pension and investment advice should also be available when people first start work. We had a pension talk at work and it was obvious that the vast majority of people had very little knowledge about the subject. Most were in the default fund which had lost money this past year when global stocks have seen excellent returns. They didn't know you could switch out and the platform has an excellent range of cheap global trackers. We have a pensions time bomb coming down the road now DB is no longer. How people are going to manage their pots in retirement I have no idea if they don't know about appropriate asset allocation, sequence of returns risk etc. etc.

100% agree!! Also 51 and sad this stuff wasn't taught to me and my parents didn't provide basic advice either.

My thoughts exactly. My father worked until 81 because he loved his work. I think we need to change the narrative on retirement and work. If you can work and you enjoy it, why shouldn't you ? Most people cannot swan off into the sunset, cruising and expensive holidays but instead can find other joys in life. We all want to feel safe and secure and managing your money does that. Giving (in any form) adds to a feeling of security because this signifies abundance. Either of time or money. There are so many ways to feel more secure instead of fear driven. Thank you for this video. It raises so much on how perception is vital.

The time to travel & experience life is when you are young. I spent all my money in my 20s & 30s hiking up above the clouds in the Alps & down into the Grand Canyon & clubbing in Berlin, Paris, Amsterdam, New York, San Francisco when I could do so. I bought a condo in my late 40s & started saving in my mid 50s. Everyone says I haven't enough saved, but really I do. No grand plans in retirement. I plan to travel the world in my own Chicagoland backyard & sleep in my own bed at night. No regrets. Live life when you are young. Save later & plan a modest retirement with your memories.

Great alternative view on how saving for retirement doesn’t have to be a straight line. At 33 I’m keeping my contribution locked in until I can’t afford it. My last 2 pay rises have gone straight into increased contributions, as have my bonuses, to avoid lifestyle creep. Plus the “free childcare” gets removed if I don’t. I’m planning an increase to my savings rate when my little one grows up, knowing that’s ok is a relief. Thanks again Damo.

Brilliant brilliant video! One of your best. We have followed virtually the exact trajectory. Not much saving up to age 50ish but now kids are older, I've gone back to work after looking after the kids, partner is at peak earnings due to experience, we are putting massive amounts into our pensions and will be on track to retire at around age 59/60. And that's from corporate jobs. We fully intend to keep earning in retirement as there's no way we could sit around doing not very much. It's a good idea to develop diverse skills and hobbies outside of your day to day work skills as these can often turn into side hustles or full time businesses in 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.

First house, needed a car, got married, etc. I did start increasing my pension contributions on my late 30s and now I chunk 30+% of my wage into my pension, mainly to avoid child benefit clawback.

I was self-employed for 19 years but wasn't earning enough to make regular contributions to my private pension, and I got into severe difficulty with a property investment that went bad. Now that I am back in full-time employment and my mortgage is finally paid off, I began paying regular and voluntary contributions (about 30% of my annual income) to my pension again. It's amazing how quickly the funds have built up in such a short space of time. All is looking rosy again!

I have never felt compelled to comment on any video on KZfaq until I’ve come across yours. Thank you so much for this. I’ve spent 10 years in the public sector and hoping to switch by the end of the year - my total pension pot contributions from myself and employer alone is somewhere between 130-140k at the moment. I’m in my mid 30s and I was worried I’d just wasted this entire time now I won’t get to see it until SPA if I leave - so watching this has given me a huge relief. Now I just need to figure out the best way to save privately as it’s always been done for me (I’ve been paying 14% the last few years..).
@rocksy71 Ай бұрын
Sometimes it’s nice to find a voice and put yourself out there to encourage others, I think 130k/140k in just 10 years is remarkable and not a figure to be sniffed at as far as moving forward and sorting out your own finances in the future. Like Damian, I found Vanguard ETFs to be cost-effective with low administration costs in comparison to the rest of the market and very easy from my phone to make changes to my portfolio, You may wish to look at Vanguard as a potential for your future investing, I think Damian uses the all world ETF

What about retirement plans that are outside pensions? Downsizing Property? Business Income? Etc?

For me being 51 and beginning with auto-enrolment at 42 isn;t the regret I have. The regret I have is not increasing my contributions and not realising that I could almost double them and see my take home pay only go down by a tiny fraction. Do that for 10 years and it makes a massive difference with little to no daily consequences. For me that makes me upset. But this video is excellent - I’ll probably retire when I’m around 62 but even then I plan to design some training materials on Udemy and maybe start a third career!

I sometimes get the feel that when people say they should have saved more, its not out of some frugality lesson learned but out of some sense of regret what they spent the past money on (be it cigs, alcohol or flashy stuff that didnt scratch the itch). It might seem like a small detail but the crucial difference is that, if they are to have more money, they are in risk of spending that on the same. But the video is a good reminder that regardless of it all, everyone needs to just dust themselves off and think of it as a better later than never situation.

Well, what I can say is that the model actually represents my own saving journey extremely accurately, frighteningly so. I was 47 when I got "serious", and about 50 when I doubled down after getting my ducks in a row. Where it does differ however, is that my saving rate has levelled out in the past year or so, and is likely to remain so until I am 60 and consider some level of retirement.

Brilliant video Damien! I’m turning 50 this year and didn’t save a huge amount earlier in my life, and wish I had. But now I’m saving as much in 3 months as I earned annually when I graduated. The numbers in later life really do add up. Good luck to younger investors who can start compounding in your 20s!!

Thank you for you words of facts and encouragement. I'm 51 this year. I've taken risk's in life which most haven't turn out. My pension savings are practically none existent. I'm mortgage free this year. I have some savings and I working towards saving more than I ever could previously. As I've got older, I actually don't panic about my future. I'm a worker and as long as my health allows I will always work and enjoy what I do. It's all about quality of life. I have seen too many friends die and leave all their wealth to others after sacrificing living life in their early years. Such a shame. Live for today, you still have plenty of time.

This video was brilliant. I am lucky enough to have a decent nhs pension but at 48 have just started throwing money into a SIPP and a stocks and shares ISA every month. Thank u for your informative and entertaining videos and for all the positivity. I feel like i have taken back the control!
