    Based on the scenario, here are my *Top Five* for this couple: #1 Don't retire in San Fransisco. #2 Don't retire and *then* have kids. #3 Don't retire at 34. #4 Don't retire when you still owe more than a third of your net worth to a mortgage. #5 Don't put all your money in bonds.

    I hit $5m at 50 years of age. No debt and kids are self-sufficient. I didn’t want to retire, but I did quit my job since it was high pressure and so stressful. Instead of doing nothing, I found a job that I enjoy and challenges me. I’m having more fun than I ever had and still feel productive and a net contributor to society. For me, this is the ideal solution.

They are also probably sending the child to private school, and to be honest you would be hard-pressed to live on that amount in that city. It is ridiculous. I don't know why they are choosing to go back to work versus just moving someplace with a better standard of living.

Who in their right mind retires in the most expensive city in the entire United States? I read some of their expenses. $30K for private school for their kid? $2K a month for preschool?

    With $3 Million they could have done it if they put their money in an index ETF such as SPY/VOO which averages at 14% annually over the last 10 years. The common quoted annual average for SPY/VOO is 10% but I consider that outdated. Regardless, at even a 10% annual return, they could withdraw $20,833 monthly for the first year and still have room to account for inflation and portfolio growth.

There is no need to EVER drive during rush hour or in the dark again. 3. If it's raining or snowing, stay home. 4. more time to plan and execute results in more efficient use and amplification of resources. 5. No more coworkers or bosses.

She is six years older than me and was sick of the day to day grind but we had no clue if our savings and investments would be sufficient, we finally went to a financial management meeting and we make all decisions for a profitable Investment and prepared a plan for our early retirement. We should have done this years ago but never considered that we might ever have enough to retire early and I thank God and my wife for the ability to do investment . We are now financially stable with everything paid for and we have a good health insurance ! Don't wait time is something we have in short supply and no amount of money will buy you more.

    House being fully paid is irrelevant. It’s a matter of assets and cash flow. Many people pay rent, or mortgage, in retirement. Your cash flow simply needs to accommodate the housing costs. If retiree has a fixed mortgage, it is a fairly controlled cost (with maintenance being somewhat unpredictable, and taxes higher risk).

Vacations don't cost us much as it's just groceries and gasoline.

Some of these "well-planned" trips often have several problems such as being hustled along, missed locations and being left off to shop for a few hours. One couple I know took a river boat cruise that was supposed to take them to Normandy to see the beaches and they ended up just being driven past on a bus. I used to think that maybe we'd enjoy going on a cruise but after seeing all of the problems there are and realizing that you're mostly sitting on a boat, eating all day it's clearly not our cup of tea. We'll take relaxing on the lake and having loons swim up to our drifting boat, seeing bears, wolves, cranes, eagles, osprey, foxes, heron and deer.

    Back in their days (: "Early Retirement" meant retiring in your 50's, not 30's, and fully owning more than one property. IMO, Early Retirement is overrated. If you're the type of person who's productive and hard working enough to retire early, you're going to go nuts when you're retired. Focus on financial independence, so you can have the job you want -- and leave it if you want to.

    The ideal retirement "amount" for me would be to own a home, take it "off grid" / VPP income, and own an EV, after that, my expenses should be 30% of my portfolio income (based around the housing expenses being 30% of income), 50% would then be re-invested, and I would have 20% in "fun money" for entertainment. I could then subsidize any additional income needs by getting involved with ridesharing or other forms of "I'm bored, so let's make some income". For current market conditions, this would equate to needing $3,478,340 total and a portfolio worth $2,903,340. (Sadly, it will take roughly 61 years to get there, so I'll be able to "retire" once I'm 102 years old.)

    Increasing withdrawal rate (inflation) is heavily dependent of the person/people and their age. The younger you are, the more important as you age you don't need as much. So blanket statements like you need to up your withdrawal to match is only true in certain(important) scenarios but for non-FIRE or late-FIRE it is not.

    You're retired and 100% in the market? Hmmm...that seems risky. So I've got 10 years to go before I retire. Technically, I shouldn't be 100% in the market either. I should be a little less risky. However, I'm more aggressive because my wife has a super great pension and we could live off of that alone. Knowing that allows me to be more aggressive, because worst case scenario, I can wait for the market to recover. I know Jacky talks about not following rules exclusively, but if I didn't have my wife's pension (she also has a retirement account as well) as backup, I'd follow the rule where you're only supposed to have 20% of your money in the market and the rest in safe investments. What stocks are you investing in? From my understanding, the thinking is, long term, investing in the market (specifically a fund that matches the S&P 500 Index) will always give you back 10% over any 30 year block of time. However, you might go through a period of time where your money drops. When you're 38, no problem, you weren't retiring anytime soon anyway. At 68, you might have to find yourself a part time job!

    @@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Not OP, but I'm in the early to mid stages of pursuing the same strategy as OP. Bottom line is the alternates to stocks for retirement just don't look great on a long term basis. * Interest rates are so low that you're often losing money off of Bonds, or barely making any real return. Worse yet, if interest rates eventually go up the value of your bonds go down, so they're doubly bad. * Real estate is risky for all the reasons mentioned in this video, not to mention being a landlord over a bunch of tenants is a big hassle. * Crypto currencies just look like a giant bubble imo. And they have significantly more risk than the stock market since there's nothing of value backing them. And they're way too volatile to plan around a few decades of retirement in any reliable way. * Selling stocks (via the 4% rule) is risky because what if you're forced to sell in a big recession to fund your lifestyle or pay for a major expense? You'll burn through your portfolio faster. It also opens the risk of running out of money before you die. * And Cash just loses money to inflation when it sits around doing nothing. Dividend stocks in high quality businesses with a moat (or dividend focused ETFs) just look like a safer bet imo. You'll likely beat inflation via dividend raises, and if you have enough dividend stocks you won't need to sell any investment assets to pay for your lifestyle. Some stocks will eventually cut their dividends yes, but that's why people either 1) invest in dividend growth focused ETFs, or 2) invest in dozens of individual companies so that any one dividend cut won't harm you too much.

Are they assuming someone retiring today will face the same market conditions in year 10 or 15? If they are then they don't u derstand the 4% rule. The rule looked at starting a 30 year retirement every year throughout the early 1900s till the early 90s. Market conditions significantly worse than what we face now such as the economic meltdown of the great depression and the high inflation period of the late 60s through 70s. Much harsher economic conditions than today....And guess what? The rule still held up. The creator of the 4% rule even came out himself and stated the rule should really be the 4.5% rule assuming one adds some small market stocks to their portfolio.

All four times cutting spending to 3.5% would have saved it. Half the time the 4% rule ends up leaving you with more than you started with. Michael Kitces blog has some great data on that.

Ends up being a few times a year, if that. People often make excuses to suffer in their self made situation. You know how the West got so populated? People left where they were for a better opportunity (not even guaranteed) for a better life. They made a long rough and potentially dangerous trek for it. They left family behind in many cases. They were smart enough to go were things could be better. In this case, they know they could have things better. You'll make friends wherever you go and old friends can visit and you can visit "home". And you WILL be able to afford it with all the extra money you have. But to sit in a bad situation and make excuses for not improving it draws little sympathy from me. What is funny, is how many of these people who suffer to be near friends and family later complain when their friends and family move on to better their lives. It's an irony I have seen often.

Also you're leaving the workforce during prime years, your life will likely change dramatically over the next ten years and you'll probably encounter something (illness of yourself or family, sudden financial loss, natural disaster) over the next fifty years that'll likely blow you financially out of the water. Even living abroad people need a large financial nest egg and multiple sources of income. Working right now sucks, I get it - but I see too many people committing financial suicide by leaving way to early and thinking meager savings/assets will pull them through the next half century. It won't. Going back to work after being 'retired' for ten years is unlikely for many in most fields - people will have to take jobs that earn considerably less and they don't like.

So, the $250k passive income may not be all going to daily spending, which everyone is assuming here. It may be going to mortgage payments. When interest rate lowers, they r squeezed at both ends -- mortgage rate in US is determined at beginning and won't drop but bond and interest from savings return will drop when interest rate drops.

Even better when you make the businesses use each other) - Asset lending (E.g. buying a car and leasing it out to others) I'm not just planning this, I've already started. I've bought ETFs and Stocks as well as small business equity. Ultimately it would be great to own a farm stay and a Fiji resort too. The Fiji resort is purely a leisure asset. The farm stay would be great to live on as I could make most items a business expense rather than a personal expense, things such as personal house ("I'm not living at the farm stay, I'm merely visiting long term"), a car could be leased to me by the farm stay (also a good way of getting away with speeding, etc) and meals are all part of the "guest" experience.

    This couple made several mistakes that are quite obvious: 1- you are not financially independent if you have a mortgage, work until you have a paid for house 2- do not retire young in the most expensive state and city 3-keep your money in index funds not bonds. You’re 34 the market will rise dramatically over your lifetime 4-don’t retire if more than half your net worth is in your house 5-factor in inflation in your annual expenses at a rate of 3%

    I like to capitalise my employment income, converting it into an income-generating asset-equivalent. If more people did this - viewed their active income as a financial asset - they would think a few times before retiring.
