Age 65... People need to think to retire at 40. Why does society want us to work 50 years to live 10-20 in our worse physical health. LIVE NOW.

​@@zoukchata, depending on the data you look at, only ~10% of people agreed 65 have a total of $1 million in savings. So it'll be a lot lower than 10% for $2 million.

​@zoukchata , you're right, the goal should be to retire earlier. When it comes to Mark/Matt's numbers, you can modify it to whatever retirement age. For example, you do $11k/month if you want to retire in 10 years, or $3500/month if you want to retire in 20 years.

Biggest financial mistake I ever made was with my 401k. My company had a Roth 401k when my kids were in college, but I didn't actually start contributing until year 3 of the 6 years I had kids in college. Because I was helping them with expenses, I was entitled to the tax credits, so my effective tax rate was extremely low. That is the time you NEED to be in a roth! i still retired with about $350k in my 401k.

true, A lot of folks downplay the role of a professional until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.

Becoming a millionaire through a Roth IRA or a 401(k) involves different strategies for maximizing profits. A Roth IRA offers tax-free withdrawals in retirement, which can be advantageous if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket later in life. On the other hand, a 401(k) provides tax-deferred growth and potential employer contributions, boosting your savings. The optimal choice depends on factors like your current and future tax situation, employer match, and investment options. Consulting a financial advisor can help tailor a strategy that aligns with your financial goals and circumstances.

I was in a similar boat. I had a Roth 401K that hit the 5-year mark. I transferred it to a Roth IRA with a big-name brokerage firm in Dec. 2020, right before retiring in Jan. 2021. They said the 5-year rule starts fresh, so by Jan. 1, 2025, I'm good. Also moved a traditional 401K to the same place, doing annual conversions to a Roth IRA in a separate account. My employer's plan people were surprised - I was the first to ask for just the Roth 401K transfer. They had to tweak their system, but it was smooth sailing. Good luck with yours!

Incredibly insightful and practical. The breakdown of contribution amounts at different ages, coupled with the emphasis on simple yet effective investment strategies like the S&P 500 Index Fund, provides valuable guidance for anyone looking to secure their financial future. The emphasis on starting early and taking advantage of employer matches resonates deeply with our company's commitment to empowering individuals to make informed financial decisions. Thanks for sharing!

I have a traditional ira and a Roth IRA. I can no longer put money in Roth due to income. How do I do the backdoor Roth? Do I need to transfer my traditional over 1st?

HI Mark. I enjoy your videos. Learn a lot and save a lot. I am recently approached by index universal life insurance agent saying they make millions and beat over SP500 return. I don't believe so because I already checked the rate of return over the past 20 yrs and average 9-15%. So anyway, what is your take on index universal life insurance for retirement instead of 401k or Roth IRA?

How would this formula work with a pension? Is the point just to get a person $80k a year in retirement as a starting point?

I am currently 37. I started putting in at 30, and now have $256k on my 401k and $66k in my roth, and another $150k in brokerage. Can I make $2 mil by 52? My son turn 18 then, and hoping to get ready to retire after that. At one point in my early 30s I was putting away $3500 a month combined, but with a child, now and joint custody, am currently putting away $1k a month while trying to pay off debt.

I have had cash in my bank of over 500k in my mid-40's. I have lost that and had to file bankruptcy. Then I built my finances back to 200k at 50. Then lost because of pandemic bs. Now I'm at 57 and I'm starting all over; in fact I'm negative about 30k. So I'm going to commit myself to this formula and I'm going to check in every 30days. So today's the 5th. I'll check in April 5th.remember I'm committed to this formula and I am starting a small business that I know is a profitable business in the past and I forgot to mention I owe taxes of probably 30 to 40k

FYI, I pissed away my 20s chasing women and drinking/pills. Never saved for future til I was 35yrs old. Got a great job at Ford as electrician and make 40/hr. Between me and Ford we contribute 20k a yr to my 401k. Just passed 200k last yr. I'm amazed because 10yrs ago I had a crap apartment, no credit, and a criminal background. Just stay the course, and don't splurge your future. You can do it. You already proved it from your past. If I CAN MAKE STRIDES, I KNOW ANYONE CAN. I'm only 42, and I hope to retire by 60. That's why I save alot in my 401k. I still drive a 2001 Nissan. I can go buy a new Ford with the employee discount, but my car still gets me to and from work. I see coworkers who have 2 brand new cars and don't save for retirement. ??? We all have different opinions on how to live. See u in 22 more days for the update.😊

It's technically not over for those even with 250k if they started late.......they can always do a "ROBS" 401k or "rollover as a business startup" strategy and use their 401k tax free to start a business that generates cashflow.

It would be nice but who has 2 million at 65.

By contributing to a qualified retirement plan (not Roth), you are voluntarily giving the government a tax lien on all of your money in the plan. The government can raise taxes to any percentage in the future. Why would you want to make the government your partner?

I would say aim for $10k monthly during retirement so $2.5M 👍🏽🥳

I am 44 and have 235k in mine.

2m to 3m is enough assuming you don't have someone in your house causing problems, or kids keep ask you for money.

Are these numbers to survive in California 😂?

@Alimoalem

Nothing should be depleted. They're not saying to draw 4% per year from the principal. They're saying if you can earn 6% per year on the money, you can draw 4% per year to live off of, plus have a leftover 2% per year to fight inflation. So, you'll maintain roughly $2 million of inflation-adjusted money in the account throughout retirement.

Roth 401k is a scam
