Dave’s retirement makes no sense. He’s very close minded. 8% is way to risky, because the market doesn’t have a set return of 12%, that’s an average. You need less to account for low years or worse yet a run of low years. Georges advice seems prudent regarding someone trying to make retirement last 50+ years, ie trying to touch little to none of the principe only the returns.

9:02 it's taxed starting at your marginal rate but 250k is a lot. If you are stating at the 22% bracket, once that fills up you will pay 24%. It might end there for married filing jointly but for a single filer you can end up in the 32/35% brackets. Trad 401k's are great for tax arbitrage in retirement (For example, I avoid 24% when working to fill from the bottom up in retirement {0, then 10, then 12 etc}), not for lump sum withdrawals.

I think it is as easy as buying an s&P 500 index fund and just buying regularly on same date no matter what and letting it role. There is no need for advisors at all. Buy your company match in your 401k and Max out Roth Iras. Withdrawl rate will depend on your expenses for retirement along with social security. So many people out there want to charge you fees for nothing or advise you so they get more in fees its really a scam if you ask me.

But it comes off very self-righteous when you say that all these people are misguided and are only in it for the money, but you’ve got it all figured out. By the way, I’d be surprised if you’ve read a single one of Grant Cardone’s books. Sure he’s obnoxious and arrogant, but he didn’t become a billionaire by accident. I’ve read every book he’s ever written, and my financial life became much more fruitful once I started applying what he taught me. If you want to promote your program, that’s great. But you don’t have to do it at the expense of others.

I am a proponent of the following: During the accumulation phase (Pre-retirement), have the mortgage for all of the reasons stated in this video. In the post-retirement phase, I like having the mortgage paid off to help alleviate the sequence of returns risk. During post-retirement, you need 'safe' money to make the mortgage payments which requires you to stash more funds in safer investments.

So at least two things, complaining about people selling you something online then pushing your own book hurts your own credibility. Second taking a nap is a horrible idea, you need to look at your portfolio every month or so and make sure you are on track for retirement. Everyday may be obsessive but just throwing your money in the market and ignoring it for twenty years in hopes there will be money there is a terrible idea. Your investments are your responsibility to monitor and modify as needed. Ever you say to check and make sure you are not unbalanced so you can't do that if you ignore your investments. Don't just hope things are OK you have to pay attention to what they are doing.

I’m not complaining about people selling things. You missed the point of the video. It’s selling get rich quick schemes. That’s what Munger was talking about.

With the example given, at 11% over 25 years, investing 20k per year, he’d end up with about $2.5 million. If he simply bought a 25 year term policy, or a 10 year term and a small whole life, he’d be better off. I have written various types of life insurance, and never would I ever pitch them as an alternative to traditional Longterm financial investments. I write more P&C insurance, and the vast majority of life insurance I have written has been term, with no cash value..

Spoken like a true whole life agent! Primerica term life insurance coverage is in the top five lowest premiums in the entire industry! And the policy is ironclad, no gimmicks, and no conversion into a very expensive life policy once your term runs out. PRIMERICA‘s term life insurance is guaranteed to age 95 like any other product in the industry. There is no life insurance company that carries term life insurance to age 95! The reason being, we are the onlycompany in the industry that sells just term life insurance, and teaches our clients to invest into the proper vehicles for their best return of monies. And also allowing them to understand what a Roth IRA investment is for tax free income at retirement.
