-After wife's medical and taxes, we have a guaranteed 5-6 k a month take home in retirement (before savings, 401k and social security). 4k of that is coming in now at 54 (while we both still work good-great paying jobs), but the rest of it right when I retire at 59. -We'll be at 150k in savings and 140k in 401k when I turn 59. -My social security is currently showing I'd get 2k a month at 65 and roughly 2.3k by 67. -My medical is 100% free for life. -Based on all that, where should a person in his late 50s be in regards to savings, or rather, how much do you think I'll need?

Great overview of savings goals by decade! It's also crucial to adjust these targets based on personal life events and economic changes to stay on track with your financial health. 👍

I really liked the inclusion of milestones other than how much money to have by X. I'm 28 with a net worth of $22k and an income of $50k, so I'm technically way behind, and hearing that I need to more than double my investments to be "on track for retirement" is discouraging. But I'm also completely debt free, and my income has gone up 26% in the last year and 60% since I started working full time at 25. Which is the other messy part of being in my 20s-- I don't have a full decade of earning and have to start from the bottom.

I'm 42 with about 5X mine and my wife's annual salary in liquid retirement funds. Our total net worth is just above the average and way past the median for the 40s age group so I hope we're on track to retire in our mid 50s depending on the market. Our only debt is our mortgage with 12 years remaining. Both of our cars and student loans are paid off and our mortgage is dirt cheap since I bought the house at 27.

52 years old, $1.8 million 401k, a couple hundred thousand spread across various other things. $500k-ish mortgage but maybe $1.2 million in equity. An auto loan. My wife has her own 401k, investments, and pension. A couple kids to put through college. Considering retiring outside the USA somewhere where we'll essentially never need to worry about money.

Net worth would be over 200k if not for wanting the nicer cars earlier in life but current car was bought in cash and only debt is 4500 in student loans at low interest (paying minimums because the rate is much lower than even my high yield savings). I feel fortunate to be where I am but also feel like I have miles upon miles to go so not letting up any time soon.

I'm now maxing 401k/IRA/HSA and putting about 1.5k into the brokerage account each month.

I think for a lot of people, not having kids or a home is the only way to make retirement possible. I'm in the camp where I could have either-or but not both.

26yo, $250k net worth (equity on home, Roth IRA, taxable brokerage, gaming collectibles, savings). Still not satisfied and feel like I’m behind.. my goal is to hit $500k net worth in my early 30s & hopefully retire in my 40s🙏🏼

3:53 lmao buying your favorite Charizard card 😆

Acknowledging that I got extremely lucky with regards to health and timing of the few stock market bull runs, but really love the reassurance that I'm worth more than the average 60s while being in my 30s. 😁 Having zero debt, and putting as much money as I comfortably can while buying the things that make me happy to keep me motivated to work is the secret yall.

34 here. I wish I found this long ago. I started my 401k and savings 2 years ago.. no debt, but I also don’t own a home. My income increased by 15k a year and that’s when I started saving and investing in my future. I feel like I still have such a long way to go.

We are 29, we have a net worth of about $165k, with a hidden gem of land that we could probably get an additional $200k profit for. I don’t count this yet, I only count what we paid for it to be very conservative. Our cash investments (401k etc) are about $55k

Gosh Humphrey, for a huge and excellent channel, your graphics people need to proof for spelling errors a bit better...how many others have pointed out the 60's section point 3 use of 'understading'?

About to turn 21 and pushing a 100k!

@humphrey I've seen these rules of thumb for "x times your salary" around for a long time, but how do they account for rising salary numbers over your lifetime? I have seen far less about how this should be thought about. In my late 30's my salary is 4-5x what it was in my early 20s, so curious if you are supposed to base this on what you think you're expected annual needs would be in retirement, or if you just should pick a rough midpoint of salary over your lifetime. Luckily I have kept the lifestyle inflation pretty flat after I hit a certain salary, and dumped the rest into savings, so I'm ahead of all the benchmarks, but still very curious.

Great point, I need to think about this further. I think if you can guess your midpoitn salary over lifetime, probably good place to start

It’s a general guide to help you get started. I wouldn’t over-index on it. For retirement, shoot for 26x your yearly expenses

I am so screwed, but I’m starting now and going to do the best I can.

I'm 46, married, with one kid. I did not really start making money until 14 years ago due to the field I'm in. Keeping track of my net worth is more like a daily exercise, and we are currently at $2.5M, with the current home being $400k of that amount. The plan is to FIRE around 55, if I find something worthwhile doing other than my field of expertise.

I'm turning 45 this year. Net worth is approximately 700 grand.

53 here. Net worth is about $1.8 million. $1.3 million of that is in retirement and non qualified brokerage accounts. The retirement mix is between traditional IRA, 401k, and Roth. The other $500k is in equity between my two homes. I know there's been lots of discussion around having no mortgage in retirement. I can't ignore the fact I have a 2.874% 30 years fixed on my primary home and 3.25% 30 years fixed on my vacation/second home. That's dirt cheap money. I'm going with the plan of pouring the money I would have directed towards mortgage pay off into my investments. Taking advantage of both the interest tax write offs and the value of time/compounding. I'm also taking advantage of the $6500 catch up clause so I'm putting away currently $30,500 a year into my 401k and starting early with the $6500 being directed into the Roth component of my 401k. No debt other than my mortgages.

This amount you are referring to is all assets minus liabilities or strictly cash investments in 401ks and brokerage accounts etc..?

About to turn 60 and right on target. Glad I have a pension and mortgage free!

lets go!

Day 20 of asking for a video on how to save for things we want to buy like that new pc or car or not needs but how to do it while staying on track with emergency fund and retirement

Greetings from Czech republic.I Like your videos and would like to share experience from other side of the world. Im 42 , having master degree in agriculture engineering and working last 17 years in renewable energy. Have a wife and two small kids,dog and 5 hens :-)… I do not know if you calculate in your net worth also the house you live in but in my case that house would be $700.000. Then i have some other property worth $300.000 to rent ( making me $1000/month ) i have aslo invested $500.000 in agriculture land, $60.000 in financial investment ( world wide ETF ), $10.000 in BTC and $5.000 in gold. I still have $80.000 mortgage but as it is fixed for next 8 years with 2.3% i am happy to keep it :-).Keep saving and investing my money since i was like 20. And I guess at that time there wasn’t even youtube existing and was quite difficult to find some information how to treat your money. Specially difficult in post communists country.

29, 88k. Projected to be just over 100k on my 30th birthday. I started my journey very late. I didn’t start saving until I was 26. Currently investing $2,800 per month. Projected to increase to $4k per month shortly. That will eventually go back down when my wife and I buy a house but for now that is not possible so I am stashing.

You should save more than you have planned. Be responsible.

agreed

I’m 52 yrs old, 535k on 403b, 75k on personal investment and 25k on roth ira. I have 90k left on my home.

I'm 43 years old my current net worth $411,000. I am hoping to keep up on our retirement journey.

I suppose many people aren't coming from North America, Australia or several flagship countries in EU - so some of these numbers are really high for us, and people shouldn't take them that easily. :) Considering different standard levels and price of living in certain countries, being on a half of these numbers for your year group means you are doing just fine. Cheers!

"should"?! them fighting words, homeboi

Very informative video as always, but I don't like these estimates that are based on your current salary. The assumption is your expenditures are proportional to your salary, which is not always the case. There are a lot of high income people who are very frugal. I wish there were also estimates that were based on expenditures.

Started saving this past January from 0 dollars and about to hit 100K by end of June.

As a 24 year old, do you think the Robinhood Roth IRA is ok to use? Or should I just open a fidelity IRA? Or does it matter? I haven’t opened one yet and want to open one soon.

just commenting cause i’m here early - over the median NW for 30’s at 25 so must be doing something right

congrats!

I think it was unfair to put the 20's in one bulk. The situation of a 20 year old is probably going to be the most different from a 29 year old (compared to a 40 year old vs. 49 etc...)

Yay I'm finally above average in something! 🎉

With Roth IRA, the money you are contributing has already been taxed. At any time for any reason, you can withdraw your contributions tax-free and penalty-free. Additionally, any earnings on investments can also be withdrawn tax-free and penalty-free, Not sure how much to contribute, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $338k stock portfolio.

Exactly why i enjoy market decisions being guided by a pro , seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk management and market experience , been using a portfolio-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over $3million in that time frame.

Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find her handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.

The tough part for many in the late 30s to early 40s is many of us were impacted greatly by the 2008 recession. Me personally ive spent years digging myself out of a hole , and honesty have just gotten on stable ground the past 5 years. So im way behind the average almost 800k average net worth by 40, with the uncertainty of the current economy and the high cost to own real estate while im above the median im very discouraged after watching this video that ill be able to gain any meaningful ground in my networth for my age group. It also states that you shouldnt have any debt except a mortgage which an affordable mortgage is difficult right now to find just getting to a place of good purchasing power at 40 smh im grateful for where i am but what a dismal outlook smh

Nice

I retired with a pension of 44% of my salary. Most of the people here will NOT have a pension and so this should put you in a great financial situation as you approach retirement! I would still recommend maxing out the 401K because it’s better to have too much than too little. Your pension really comes into play when you are about five years out from retirement. Then it’s best to go over all your expenses and determine how much you will need to live on after retirement. This will show you how much you will need to withdraw each year from your 401K after you retire. 2%-4% is usually a sustainable withdrawal rate.

Just turned 35. Net worth around 150k. No debt except mortgage. These numbers would be more attainable if we have full payout social security at retirement but it'll probably by 75%. Frustrating after paying so much of my gross income and getting not even what I lost back. Thanks US government

I’ve just turned 21, im a student and i’ve saved close to $35k. I’m really proud of it and it was mainly from saving and working as much as possible in the summers, doing well with investments in crypto and stocks and farming crypto airdrops. My main positions are ethereum, spy, vti, nvda, sol and cb.

I'm going to be 40 in September. I have about 76k in investments. That's basically it, but even with 2 very young kids, I only pay $1014 for a 2 bedroom apartment that's rent controlled at this point. I have a plan to save 20k a year for investing and should have 5 mil by retirement. My wife has her own similar set up and we'll have some good money invested for the kids when they're adults.
