Most Americans find it hard to retire comfortably amid economy downtrend. Some have close to nothing going into retirement, my question is, will you pay off mortgage as a near-retiree, or spread money for cashflow, to afford lifestyle after retirement?

Agreed the role of advisors can only be overlooked, but not denied. I remember in early 2020, during covid-outbreak, my portfolio worth around $300k took a slight fall, apparently due to the pandemic crash, at once I consulted an advisor in order to avoid panic-selling. As of today, my account has yielded big fat yields, and leverages on 7-figure, only cos I delegate my excesses right.

No matter how old you are, it's never too late to start saving.

I am self-employed and no matter how much wealth I accumulate, I will never stop working. All men have to be working on something. Without work, a man shrivels up and dies.

I started my 401(k) at age 54 around 16-months ago. Putting 10% plus a 3% match. Current balance is a little over $30k. If I can work until age 70 I'll have around $750k (assuming I increase contributions by 1% each year and get a 3% raise each year). I am a statistician, so I have very accurately run the numbers. I'm a T1 diabetic, so I know I will not have a long retirement. Have around $500k life insurance to support my wife if I die first, and never had kids. My circumstance is certainly not everyone else's.

@ThorMaximus

54 and only doing 10% with only $30k balance? You need to up that sense of urgency. Scale back, get another line of income via part time job, but you need to be maxing it out + catch-up. I’m 50 and was lax about it. $25k this year and done the math/budget to get $33,000 with company match, plus $7500 in Roth. Maxed out 401k, Roth IRA & HSA 3 years running now. Over $100k increase & it’s still behind. $750k isn’t enough, and thinking will be working till 70 with your health? I’ve run the numbers too, and in 4 years I’m concerned that the $40k pace I’ve been contributing won’t be enough. In the 1990s, my dad left my mom $350k in life insurance. It was gone in 5 years. A $500k policy isn’t enough. Sincere-good luck.

Hi a friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $110k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $294,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

I live in Texas and love making people smile. I say things to strangers that almost always make them smile. I met a lady last summer, as she was walking out of Walmart with a smock, and engaged her. She wasn't a very happy lady. She was skinny and looked like she had been beaten with a broom. I simply asked her if she was ready to take the rest of the week off. This usually gives people a reason to express their wish that it was possible. But this lady was not pleased my question and told me as much. We talked for a few minutes and it turned out she was 88 years old working at Walmart. She hated it. The rules and manipulation by management made her job difficult. I told her I thought no one should be working at 88 years old. She proceeded to tell me how her husband died 20 years earlier and left a mobile home with floors rotting. She had to work to take care of her home and working at Walmart was required. It broke my heart to hear that she had those problems and I was not in a position to help.

Thank you so much! I’m 49, waitressed my whole life & have very little saved. I just began a job w a 401k & am taking your advice. Blessings

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.

This seems challenging to do but not impossible. One option (though I understand not an option for everyone) which I have not seen discussed in most KZread retirement videos in general to reach enough to retire well is to relocate to a country where the dollar goes much further. I've looked into this and it's a complicated ball of wax, but also seems doable under the right circumstances. Assuming the country is favorable to retirees, social security can be collected in most, but not all other countries. Some of those countries have a tax treaty with the US (to avoid being double taxed on retirement income), others do not. Obviously there are many other general considerations to take into account, such as healthcare, infrastructure, and even language barriers for example. In many cases though, depending on the country, adding this option to the table could cut the amount needed to retire comfortably in half. I've been working for the past 35 years. Regretfully, I only just began seriously considering at retirement after receiving a significant pay increase from my employer at age 50. I'm now 51, but would still like to retire by age 60, while I'm still able bodied enough to enjoy all life has to offer. To do so I'm now contributing 15% of my after tax income to a 401 K with matching employer funds, another 15% to stock options in my employer's stock purchase plan at a 5% discount (a Fortune 500 company), and am saving $1000 each month. To do this I've also slashed my overhead by not owning a car, living in a small room for rent, and am currently evaluating ways to further economize my grocery purchases. As if all of that were not enough, whenever I have money left over (not often though) I try to make wise blue chip stock purchases instead of online shopping purchases, going out, etc. Even doing all of this now, I still don't believe I'll have enough to retire comfortably within the US by age 60, but I do believe it might still be possible to accomplish abroad.

Thanks for putting this up. Gives me hope to at least semi-retire. After some unfortunate events made far worse by even worse decisions I practically decimated my retirement. I thought I was gonna have to work for the rest of my life. I am turning 46 this year and this gives me hope to at least be able to semi-retire, even if I have to work part-time after 65-70.

I am 48 and only have 6000 in my 401 what would you suggest for me?

Dustin if everyone with no hope of retiring with dignity could see these videos you put out it would change their retirement outlook completely. You are a bright light in a very dat room. Thanks

I just turned 45. I make about 95k a year. I live check to check because we are a one income family. I have zero savings. I never learned about money management besides a few words of advice from my father. I feel like I am going to work until I am old and have a heart attack on the job or something. But this video is hopeful.

At 95K a year, if you're not doing well, you're overspending. Can't fix stupid.

You are living beyond your means. House hacking. Buy a duplex live in half and rent the other side. No more mortgage payment. Or sell your house buy a cheaper one. Figure other ways to save and make money. Cut back and budget. Sell things you don't need or use a lot. By a fixer upper. Fix the house then after year rent in out and buy another and do it again. I invested my money in the stockmarket when it dropped in March and made over double what I put in.

Then become a two income family.

My dad got cancer and had no choice but to retire. I need to start saving.

Please do a video starting at age 60, ( lower income and lower savings) thankyou

Ok, I am in a little worse shape. Plan on working until 70. According to social security should get $2300/month. Hope to save $500-$700 month. Should I use a Roth or a regular account?

Hard to tell if this is the right platform for this. But ill try anyways as this is still considered business. Given the present conditions, is it better to invest into Real Estates or into Stocks? Which would yield better output.

Has got to be Stocks but of course, you have to be well informed on the right ones or better still, get a pro to handle it for you (that way, you save time and minimise risks). Made my first million this way earlier this year. One more thing, one can wake you up by 2am to complain about a leaking pipe, the other can't.

Very sound advise! I have been into both for long and though I won't say I have lost a fortune, I have squandered quite alot... If it's not a problem, do you mind recommending the pro you worked with? I could definitely use the help of one right now... I look forward to your reply...

Funny enough, I can honestly relate. It's not as easy as it may sound and takes some level of decisiveness and discipline. I don't know if I am permitted to drop it here, but his name is "Paul gustave schoffelen". Was in the news a lot in 2018. You may look him up online for more.

Thanks for the video. This all assumes you are also debt free. at retirement.

Love the way you explained this. Hopefully 1 of those 2 decades won't be the like the 2000's decade. Thanks for thinking of us silver folks. The ad before your video showed an incompetent "dad" on his PC. It's always fun to be insulted by the next generation. ha ha

I'm in my 40s and plan to retire within the next 10 years. I have a day job and I make money online as well. Always have a side hustle. I take one "fancy" vacation a year and the rest of my vacation time I stay local or visit family. I drive a 12 year old car and hope to drive it for 3 or 4 more years while I put aside money for my next one. I teach my kids to train for a career but to OWN something so that they can have more than 1 stream of income.

Mary Ann summers...you are a very wise lady...I'm 50 & my wife is 48, I'm thinking about investing in CBD cannabis oil or maybe build a substantial portfolio through Charles swabb & hopefully by the time I'm 60 I can relax 👍

Thank you for such inspiring and positive video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻, I’m in my 40s with very less savings, I was worried about future, but you encouraged me to invest. Thank you 🙏

Useful ~

I just bump mine up to 15% with 3% match in my Target fund (I'm no where close to the max limit). I still feel like I'm not putting in enough. Everyone is telling me I'm putting in allot. I have 20-24 years for retirement.

I’m 45 and I’m an RN. Ummm, yeah I’m going retire. Your body will not allow you to work in my career forever.

Awesome content as always. I believe your going to go very far with your channel been watching a long time not sure why you dont have a larger following but im sure they will come. Im 33 cashed out my 401k about 4 years ago to help grow my business and buy some real estate both great choices and doing well but looking to start saving for retirement again separately. Can you do a video about saving for retirement in your 30s self employed? Thanks

At 62 on s.s. and my wife working, 6481 or more is impossible to save. Most of our money is invested in the market thanks to my wife and myself so we are diversified. But even saving 200 a month isn't feasible.
