How Much Do You Need To Retire | What The Experts Say

When it comes to retirement, most of us tend to have the same questions:
How much do I need to save each month?
What is the total amount I need to save?
How much can I take out once I retire?
Well I like to defer to the experts when it comes to answering these types of questions. The thing is though, the answer you get really depends on who you ask. For this video I look into what 5 different financial experts in the personal finance space say when it comes to the matter of retirement and answer the age old question: How much do I need to retire?
We will look at retirement advice from:
Dave Ramsey
Suze Orman
Mr. Money Mustache
David Bach (Author: Automatic Millionaire)
Robert Kiyosaki
Now each of these experts are VERY well known in their fields. And they each have their own unique view and perspective when it comes to personal finance. They have different styles of saving, investing and yes, approaching retirement.
Sure there are some over-lapping in some areas, but in some areas each of these experts have vastly different perspectives?
So who is right? Well the answer to that depends on you. It really matters who's advice really resonates more with you and you lifestyle. Each of these experts may be right at different times.
It's important to remember that personal finance is just that...personal. There is no one size-fits-all approach. What matters is what works for you. And keep in mind that these financial experts are still human. And no one is 100% right all the time. You don't have to agree with what anyone says 100%. Listen to what they have to say, then make your own decision on what is best for you.
It's your retirement. Are you a member of the FIRE community, if so your approach to retirement is going to be vastly different than someone else on a traditional retirement trajectory. Do you what to save enough for you to live simply in retirement? Or do you plan on saving more than enough in order to pass along an inheritance to your heirs? Again, those are going to be different approaches.

It is amazing what today’s Americans need to be “happy.” Myself included. In the early 1990’s my grandparents would just sit in lawn chairs under a tree on a summer day, each holding a glass bottle of Pepsi. They were just so happy. It was their big vacation, sitting under those trees, each little breeze a gift. When my grandfather got a nice raise greasing construction equipment in Springfield, IL in the 1930’s my grandmother said, “We went bowling and had an ice cream cone every night. We thought we were rich.” I’ll never forget her saying that. Whenever a friend of mine asks how I’m doing I say, “Oh man, it’s all bowling and ice cream cones!”

I will get a small pension, remember those? But that combined with SS, will be more than I need to live. House paid for, cars paid for, just Property Tax, Insurance, food and Electric. Hopefully no catastrophic health issues at least for a while. Wanna retire at 65, 4 1/2 years to go.

Living within your budget is a skill. If you don't have it no amount of money will ever be enough. People who have successfully been poor at some point in their life usually have the skill and can survive on what they have. Folks who have no idea what is a necessity and what is not will suffer.

@l.a.rivasesq.8841 2 года назад

I enjoyed this video partly because you did a good job summarizing the different approaches these well known financial advisors have for retirement. But, I think that your emphasis on the fact that every individual should tailor their approach to retirement based on their individual circumstances and goals was the best part of your video. My spouse and I recently retired at age 50. We could have retired earlier but we wanted to own our home and to take international and domestic vacations at least six weeks per year. We also knew that eating out was a necessary expense to excel in our careers. We wouldn’t have been able to accomplish our career goals by the time we were 30 or 40 years old, especially since we didn’t start our careers until age 24 and 25, respectively.

@robertcohen1888 2 года назад

My only retirement advice is plan for early retirement. Too many long established companies are now working very hard to eliminate older workers who are nearing retirement. I got caught when I was 58 and the company I worked for which was a long-standing company making good money outsourced everyone in my area. And I was four years short of my planned departure.

Great job on this video. Each financial expert you listed has a different take on things and there are some kernels of truth to all of them. As you said, you have to be able to discern what fits you the most and will make you the most successful for your goals. That goal needs to be clearly understood and not just some general idea that “I’d like to retire rich.” If someone said that too me I would have a lot more questions. What does rich mean to you? What does retirement mean to you? When are you expecting to retire? Etc.

FYI, other sources of cash flow are capital gains, dividends, small business ownership, landlording, pensions. These can be combined to meet your cash flow goal, without needing to save $1M+, or even $500K. Plus this strategy adds diversity to your income stream.

@franzvanjulio5523 2 года назад

I like looking at different scenarios and never planning on the best case scenario coming true. As I write this comment, the market is amid another dive and I’m not afraid of that right now while I work, but experiencing a 15%, 20% or greater dive when I retire does frighten me. My parents went through that as they retired in 2000, however, they hold more now than they did upon first retiring. I think they had effective management and also made very conservative choices while still living comfortably and simply. I think we may travel a bit more, but I know my wife and I will likely be equally comfortable living simply. I just need to not make any poor decisions that can cost us down the road. Only recently have I heard of the idea of having 1, 2, or 3 years of savings in cash upon retirement and I definitely think that’s a winning play in my book. The great option with that is if I at any point determine that is a mistake, I can always invest that somewhere. Good luck and many blessings to everyone.

Analysts will talk, stocks will rise and fall but the market will always remain a cash den for people who know where to look. my one cents though

Some people never live long enough to retire. Others live long enough but, suffer from failing health. Some live long and suffer long from poverty. Life can change on a dime as the saying goes. You may be able to retire from your job but, you cannot retire from life and it's complexities. Each person lives from day to day on this planet and is challenged to do the best they can one day at a time. The past has already happened. The present is a gift and the future is unknown. Ramsey"s 12% mutual fund return is unrealistic especially given fund management fees. Rich man skills to take those risks are not built into people. FIRE 's can be extinguished. The best laid plans do not guaranty success. Thanks for the comparisons.

Cool summary. Advisors rarely explain that everyone is different, and it's important to understand that. Both of your 4% Rule explanations did not include the "automatic increase for inflation" part of Bengen's original rule. I think this is great advice. And, I've never understood how Ramsey thinks 12% gains are a reasonable expectation for retirement. That's reckless.

@ErinTalksMoney 2 года назад

Great point!

@stewartkaplan3100 2 года назад

4% rule is only 4% of beginning portfolio balance, then you adjust that amount for inflation, then you continue to adjust each year thereafter. I.e, It is NOT 4% if your portfolio balance each year. If you took any fixed percent of your portfolio “each year,” you’d never run out of money. Problem is, your spending would fluctuate with your returns.

@ahwhite1398 2 года назад

Ramsey's likes to play the game where he conflated "millionaire" with "independently wealthy." And, he seems to fixate on showing his listeners a path to becoming a "millionaire," and thus a status that will make them comfortable beyond their dreams (I haven't sen him state this, mind you, but he sure seems willing to let people believe this). Without his liberal return promises, one million gets harder to see mathematically for most people. But, more importantly, if he were to tell people that the aspirational goal of being a "millionaire," meant budgeting yourself to 40k or less per year, the whole facade would crumble away.

@jimhandler1129 2 года назад

I agree with Dave Ramsey on being debt free. But agree with Suze on the withdrawl rate of 4% and having a bridge account of 2 to 3 years so the market can recover when you can't safely withdraw 4%. Health insurance is a big concern and a big expense that has a major factor on when to retire.

@johngill2853 Год назад

4% is not Suzie that is the Trinity study

@nobeliefisok9174 Год назад

Debt free is great advice for many people, and terrible advice for me. I use the debt on my house to have saved and invested a lot more a lot earlier than I would if putting that money towards not having a loan. The time-value of money invested early has built my portfolio. Adding huge payments starting a few years ago (if my house was paid off early) would never catch up to where I am, not remotely close either. The house debt I did not pay off early allowed me to invest max 401k contributions early in my career, leading to a much higher total invested than had I put all that 401k investment into paying off my mortgage quickly. But... I think most people are going to save investable money poorly. Until they can fix that, they wont benefit from carry a low interest rate home loan. Where within 5 years of starting my career I had bumped up my 401k contributions until I was at the max. Also, I refinanced my house (no disbursement, straight refi only) a few times over the years as interest rates lowered. I have a 30-yr 2.625% loan currently, and can still benefit from itemized deductions, so save another 22-24% off that via taxes (approx 2.07% effective rate). I only have one year out of 25 that my investments in 401k went up less than that from gains alone (not new money incoming), and that was 2008. Debt free is reasonable advice for people who wont save the money, but would have cost me many years of my life having to work to catchup to where I am now.

Well done! I almost left early, when you mentioned the first "expert" suggesting one can expect a 12% return. I stayed once I realized you knew that was very aggressive. It's just about an impossible return long term. I believe a healthy mix of the other's advice is best. Kiyosaki is mostly correct, except he omits that one does need to initially save to get started in accumulating assets. You need to own that first home, and then save up to buy a second so you can then rent out your first. You can attempt to incur debt to do this, but one harsh downturn and you can get into big trouble quickly. Cheers.

Even the authors of the Trinity Study, which put the 4% Rule in the world came out last year and said that people could bump up to a 5% withdrawal rate! I think reasonable depends on how much you have saved up and how long you plan on being retired. I recommend talking with a good CFP and asking for their opinion on your personal situation.

I retired at 62 with 50K in the bank. Been very happy the whole time. We still put money in savings every month. The secret is being debt free when you retire not how much you have in the bank. Social security, 2 pensions are more than we need and we still travel around the country to see kids and grand kids. Don't get hung up on "must have" cash. You only live once and my advice is retire ASAP.

Great video. The first book I read on investing and personal finance was Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I don't agree with everything Kiyosaki says, but there is definitely great value in his advice. What's worked for me is a combination of his approach about building assets that can pay for things and Orman's approach spending less than you earn and investing the difference. Add in Ramsey's views on debt and it's been a winner. Adding these approaches together means that in my 40's I've got no real financial worries and there is a pretty good chance I'll be able to retire well before 60 or at least have the option to slow down in my 50's. That was my goal and it's how things have mostly worked out so far.

@dstevens518 Год назад

It's really such a personal thing, some folks want plenty of security and don't mind slaving to get there with a huge nest egg, others see it as giving up quality of life and time to save more than you'll likely need. I think Kiyosaki's take is great IF you don't mind the hassle of managing the risk those investments entail. If you'd rather not, then do the safe but sure thing instead, live beneath your means, diversify your investments (real estate, index funds), and you'll get there when you get there. Balance isn't just about work/life, it's also about risk tolerance/peace of mind... Enjoy life in YOUR style, don't mind what the other guy's doing. BTW, you are a breath of fresh air in this financial advice game, down to earth, clear as day, AND well informed. Keep it up!

Listening to the *Experts* is great advice but some of the most overlooked experts are the people who are actually retired and have been for a while. Don't hesitate to have discussions with those retired people who have similar lifestyles and economic situations to yourself and what you hope to have in retirement. They can give you lots of good advise based on experience, both of things to do and things not to do. Observing people who are successfully retired can take away lot of retirement anxiety.

Sorry Erin, but most of these "experts" didn't make their wealth following their own advice, they have built their wealth telling other people how to follow their advice. The value of their advice would be the result of an unbiased assessment of those who followed it vs outcome, to date I'm not aware of any such assessment. We followed Dave Ramsey for several years, and he inspired us to address our debt and we cleaned it up which set us a successful path to a comfortable retirement, but by no means did we follow his program implicitly. Ultimately you're on your own, research advice, take the good parts and put your plan together.

@ErinTalksMoney 3 года назад

Exactly. Personal finance is personal. All of these advisors give general advice. It is not tailored toward any one person. I even say in the video that you show take whatever bits of advice you feel apply to you and your lifestyle and forget the rest. What matters is that you are on a path that works for you.

You're right DR is way too aggressive on expected returns. The Trinity study came out with a max of 4% withdrawal rate.

“Diversified” should NOT mean random, that does no good. I’d actually plan how much money you can withdraw from pre-tax to fill the lower brackets in retirement. Likely maxing 401k will result in too much in pre-tax which can mean higher taxes, RMDs etc.

However, I didn’t have children and was lucky enough to not have any financial setbacks in my life and I was never unemployed.
