The concept of mini-retirement changed my life. I'm no longer waiting for some retirement paradise when I'm 65. It helps to know how to fund the lifestyle. You know, making money while you sip that piña colada by the beach does help. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.

Safe to say not everybody has the skill to pursue investing. But it's always easy to follow the advice of someone who knows how to i.e a financial advisor. You could anywhere between 10--40k with the right ones. Online businesses are a good bet too if you are savvy.

True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.

It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement.

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.

We did exactly as you said we shouldn't: We depleted our emergency funds to make the last final payment on our house. We had $4500 left on our mortgage, and just over $4500 in cash. "Let's do it!" It was an amazing feeling to have it paid off, but we paid a price in stress, due to timing... This was January 2020, just as the pandemic hit and nobody knew what would happen. That's a scary time to have no cash. Fortunately it all worked out, and without a mortgage, we built a decent emergency fund again a couple months later. Whew! Keep up the great work on your channel!

My wife and I save about $35,000 a year in income taxes by funding retirement accounts instead of paying down the mortgage, which only costs a little over $9000 a year. Security: It took only about four years to fund enough in those accounts to pay the mortgage for decades if we had to. If you are single and managed to pay off your house early, I suspect your tax rate might be significantly higher than your interest rate was....

Keeping money in the bank is like paying banks and the Govemment. Here's how it works: The bank gives out your money as loan, and charge interest obviously higher than inflation rate, and then give you, the depositor, interest lower than inflation rate. That means net loss for you. That is why I prefer to invest, and on average, my advisor makes returns that always beats inflation!

If the house fix is just cosmetic, and you already have a fully funded emergency fund, wait until your investments are at $100k to do them.

I lean towards the "buy a house" side of things if prices are sensible and you can get one for around 3x to 4x your salary. Otherwise, keep renting and wait for a more balanced market. When you can buy a house for a good price, you also stand a more realistic chance of paying off the loan ahead of schedule. Once you own your home, that monthly payment is no longer money sucked out of your life, which can be used for other purposes. Moreover, home ownership gives you flexibility in budgeting. You can often put off a repair for several months to a year, and decide when you want to handle it. Better than complaining to a rental management company, and hoping they will get around to it.

When you are in your 20s it seems crazy to save and invest money for when you you retire in your 60s. Afterall, the thought is that you might not live to see 60 anyway. The reality is that you don't have to wait until you are in your 60s to retire. So think of it as two goals. There's regular retirement, which is full retirement age in your 60s, and early retirement, which is anytime before that. Save and invest money in the appropriate buckets for both if you can, and if you can't then save and invest money for regular retirement. I'd say that if you can max the contribution limit to retirement accounts for 30+ years you'll be set for regular retirement unless your expenses are high.

Personal residence values have only increased an average of 3-5% gross in the long term. Your home isn't making you money unless you're renting it out. Keep your home equity to sub 15% so the majority of your networth is actually working for you at a much higher rate than inflation over time. Your home is more likely to just keep up with average inflation. The wealthy don't keep 50%+ of their wealth tied up in their single personal residence.

I have a idea I have been toying around with and would like your opinion. I work for a City that pays out a pension when I retire. The plan offers a "buy service credit" option for up to 5 years. Here's how it breaks down. I can buy 5 years starting today for about 160K paid back monthly over 10 years. I am approx 16 years away from retirement based on my figures. The difference for when I retire (between buying service credits and not) is about 1600 a month. Basic math tells me I would spend 1300 a month now for 1600 a month increase in retirement paid out for my lifetime and then at 50% when I die paid to my spouse for her lifetime. For full transparency, both of our homes are not paid off, hers is being rented out. Both will be paid off before we retire as we are making extra payments on each. Should I take the extra 1300 and put that on the house or buy those service credits? The other option I thought of, is using some of my 457 as a down payment on the service credits. Both of us max out our 457 and 403 as well as a ROTH. I know to get rid of debt first, but being that our plan is pay off the houses before we retire anyway, should I take advantage of the service credits while I still can?

You also don't have to invest it in the stock market, most 401k's have a cash equivalent or a money market fund that will earn interest and is very low risk.

You actually should do a break even calculation. Pretty much no matter the spread, I can pretty much always give you examples of all 3 outcomes. Loan payoff better. Keep loan better. Or it doesn't matter. My break even point on my house is 20 years. Which is roughly when I plant to retire. So it doesn't matter what i choose. All things being equal, my net worth will be the same at retirement age. I have a 2.865% mortgage rate. So I've chosen to pay it off early. For the piece of mind. Even though mathematically it doesn't matter.

Where do you keep your emergency fund? All in a cash savings account or mixed with some investment accounts? I feel like that's a lot of capital to have sitting in savings account doing very little.

I'd keep a small fund in cash and dump the rest into a 401k. Six months of expenses means job loss. and in a long term job loss, drawing from a 401k will be the same as after tax money, even with the early withdrawal penalty. 401k -> bypass income taxes -> build wealth / emergency money faster -> if you don't have an emergency, you are still growing your money tax free

Selling your company shares simply because theyre a single stock is pretty asinine. If it’s a newer, possibly more volatile company; sure, maybe. But if it’s a legacy company that’s been around for forever (I dunno, like FORD) - and likely isn’t going anywhere; or you actually pay attention at work, and can see it’s only booming; (at least at the moment) why take the capital gains loss so soon?

Is 40% of a 6 month emergency fund in a conservative ETF crazy? (young, single, seasonal worker). Justification: All of my financial accounts are with the same bank (checking, credit, brokerage, retirement, etc.) Opening a high interest savings account to park that 40% seems like it would reduce online security, and make it harder to keep track of my $. ...alternatively holding all of the over 10k in cash feels wasteful.

@GeorgeKamel Do you ever recommend pausing investing to aggressively pay off mortgage once in baby steps 4,5 and 6? I didn’t do the baby steps in order because I was so late being introduced to them so I had been investing 12-15% all along as well as having an emergency fund. I finished baby step 2 in March and step 3 in June. Feeling gazelle intense about paying off the mortgage. Would pausing investing or even decreasing investing down to employer match make sense short term to pay off house?
@GeorgeKamel
@GeorgeKamel 28 дней назад
No. Never pause investing to pay down the house faster. Find other ways to trim your budget and expenses, and/or make more money.

Man, if I got a lower than 3% mortgage rate, I would never pay it off early, and would just invest the money instead. But I'm financially literate and I have the emotional mindset to be able to handle debt, budget myself, and invest my left over money. But if I had an 8% interest rate, well, I wouldn't be able to afford it anyways, but I would totally pay that off first. Other people aren't like me (in fact, we are the rare ones), so its understandable that for some people, paying off huge debts should come first, before reinvestments.
@pdxmusl1510
@pdxmusl1510 Месяц назад
This is actually based off of faulty math. You cannot just compare interest rates like this and have it give you meaningful results. I don't care how wide the spread is. I can give you examples where it is mathematically better to pay off the loan. Mathematically better to keep the loan. Or it's a wash either way. With nearly any two number combinations. Comparing interest like this may come to the correct conclusion. But it's happenstance. Not math. You need a break even calculation. Not a rate comparison.

You can access it. 72t, Roth conversion ladder, rule of 55, and Roth contributions all allow penalty-free early withdrawals from retirement accounts. And the age to withdraw without any of those strategies needed is 59.5, not 65.

I'm 21 years old, and my net worth is $27,326.61 and 0 debt. I am investing 80%-90% of my monthly income in a fidelity brokerage account. VOO (66.34%) for foundation, QQQ (9.55%) for growth, and NVDIA (23.88%) for experimental fun. My question is, why would i lock up my money in a roth ira until i am 65 when i could do the same thing in fidelity and preserve financial flexibility at the cost of some taxes on capital gains? But if i really cared too much about those capital gains taxes, i could utilize an SBLOC to avoid taxes and, due to the risky nature of an SBLOC, hold multiple asset classes to protect against a market downturn.

@@exotic_poiison9070Sounds like me at your age I’m 27 😂 but that’s a great start! It will only keep growing enjoy the journey! And I do recommend most of your portfolio in QQQ and VOO but have some fun like you said but do the research as well before buying individual company’s and these guys have a lot of good advice but I agree having the financial flexibility is way better these guys are giving the traditional work your whole life away as a slave to a 9-5 and contribute to your 401k it works but not if you plan to retire early or even like a barista/coast fire situation don’t think they include People that want to quit there jobs asap!

What’s the difference between investing money into my personal Roth IRA where my money is locked up vs longterm investing just regular, like shares in the S&P500?
@blanketwodahs6741
@blanketwodahs6741 Месяц назад
Taxes. Taxes on the dividends and when you sale. otherwise its the same. Also, your money isn't locked up in an IRA. You can get at if you need to, I have done it several times. It isn't near as bad as it is made out to be. Retirement accounts can give a huge advantage if you use them right, but people are so hung up on interest costs they fail to see all the money going out the window in income taxes.

the part about pausing your 401k investments to pay off your debts first. Does that mean you for go the price match too? Or should you stick with the matching at least? I feel like you'll lose more money that way no?
