Im 48 and my Roth 401k is at $61K.🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sweet!
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
No. I just saved you 18 min of your life. You're welcome 😊
lol
you can retire with $0, and without SS, but, you'll be living on the street and hustling for needs. Its all about the cost of the life you want and determining your probable span.
Good point
Soc Sec average of $1,800 is at least $200 net after Part B deduction!
$174 but yes!
@@yourfinancialekg So we are talking about a little more than $1,600 net Social Security. This is never made clear in articles and broadcasts about Social Security
150 isn’t much at 50….
But its a good start!
RMD at 72 or 73 is not a factor?!
Of course!
Hi Drew, I'm married almost 62 stressed to the max I might have 125k by the time SS starts in September Depending on what happens in the next couple months, I will either quit work or go part time. EKG sounds like something to set me straight Please
Awesome, please reach out to us at pearlwealthgroup.com
Look at the break-even points for starting social security. IIRC, my 62 vs 67 break-even age is 78; my 62 vs 70 break even age is 81. I plan to retire early in 1-2 years; maybe 3 depending on a few factors: health, time, and hobbies, that I want to have several years or more to enjoy. Between the time I retire and coerced RMD's begin, I plan to do Roth conversions to lower the amount of my future RMDs, trying to stay at or below the 24% tax bracket. the break-even ages are offset by coerced RMDs starting at 73, so any loss in annual social security income based on my age when I started taking social security, will not impact me when compared to the taxes on the RMD, and taxes on social security income because of RMD. Hopefully, by the time I get there I'll have reduced my RMD tax bracket to at or below the 24% bracket, or whatever that bracket is in the future
Very helpful indeed - Making just over what John makes, & have 287k in a vanguard digital advisor account, that i push 1k a mo into / a retirement that will kick out $4100 a month, & a 457B that should hit about $1k a month. My home is paid off and i am holding 28k in the bank for home improvements so i can retire in 1 year at 59.5 years old - awesome post! it was nice to see how you walk through all of the variables.
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Good info in your video. Although my question is SS related, it differs from this content. Can you explain how the maximum allowable SS benefit in 2023 was $4,555 per month but in 2024 that maximum increased by 7% to $4,873 when the COLA for 2024 is 3.2%? I mean, why isn't the maximum for 2024 $4,700 per month? This info would be helpful. Thank you for taking the time!

Gamble what?
Can I retire with $80k at age 64 that I am right now?
Need more data but could be a great video
I don’t think this covers increased medical expenses that occur during aging properly.
How so?
I retired at 61. After paying off my house and truck and credit card, leaving us with no debt, I had $594,000 left in retirement accounts. My much younger wife retired two years later at the end of the year I turned 63. I am now 65 and we are still spending down my traditional Ira while I wait until 70 for Social Security. My wife also has a 401(k) from her previous job. All together we have about $592,000 in our retirement accounts and we are doing fine.
Awesome!
I didn’t know people in Tampa spoke with a southern accent. It sounds great.
Florida is in the south, right? Thank you!
Appreciate you.
Appreciate you watching 🤜
Yes! Stay invested. Even during a correction year, like in 2022. If you feel the urge to sell in a down market, it's probably because your portfolio was too aggressive in the first place.
Amen
Good job 👍
Thanks John!!
I retired at 55 in 2022, with 550,000. I've been drawing down, but I currently have 565,000. Thank you markets. 😊
Amazing!
Why only a 200k increase in 7 years?
no!
Thanks!
You mean from investments to permanent life insurance, that kind of transition?
No way!
@yourfinancialekg Yeah... What was that about?!! He has to be an Insurance Agent! 😂😅😂
Manage the gap years if you retire early. Retired 16 yrs before 59.5. Manage debt and invest in what you know outside of 'retirement'.
Awesome comment!
Being 25, wish i can put all my social security money in the s&p500, in 40yrs i doubt ill get anything
No doubt
I just turned 50 and have a million in my 401 and wonder how to use it, I don’t want to just use it but wish can make it so k can live off its interests ?
That's awesome! You certainly can do that. Reach out and we can chat.
Thank you for this information. I’m crunching the numbers now
You got this!
How about creating a bucket strategy for different expenses and time horizons? Anyone familiar with this?
That's a great idea
As a 30 year old trying to retire by 55, this has been he best most concise explanation. You made it very clear what to take into consideration. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
Yes, the answer is yes
Yes!
Thanks for the videos you post. I am more focused on day trading & Scalping long or short but, I can see the value of your channel to learn Swing & position trading. 👍
$500 a month for health insurance???
At least..
It can be done.
$700 at most
How does anyone have $67,000 in the bank? Wishing I was there.
You can do it!
VT (total world index) would be my recommendation if you can handle 100% stocks in your 40's I was actually 20% bonds in my 40's(family with one income so I took less risk)
Thanks John!
Another informative video a very real world example in savings and SS.
Thank you for watching!
How do I calculate how much I need to retire at 62 when I don't intend to take social security until 67 or 70?
You need to figure out how much you need yearly and then look at how much you have in projected investments. Take the need and divide that be the projected to give you a percentage of income withdrawal. If that percentage is above 6%, you need more in the projected bucket or lower income need.
@@yourfinancialekg Something like this? Need = $120k/year, Projected Investments = $3M at age 62. $120k/$3M = 0.04 or 4 %. 4% is less than 6%, so good to retire at 62 and not take SS until 67.
Great video! Is a Brokerage Link account attached to your 401k considered an IRA or 401k. Do the same rules apply if you wanted to retire at 50 instead of 55?
Math lies plenty. Lies, damn lies, and statistics. SC
Math never lies 😂 !!
Good video. If he is so conservative how did he get to 1.3 million at age 53? 🤔
Compound interest and consistency
@@yourfinancialekg that’s why I’m asking I’m familiar with the territory and I did not get there by being conservative 😂
I guess her property taxes and home insurance must be really low as $700 seems low or doesn’t include her property tax and insurance?!
No P or T in the payment
The faster you get your money the better off you will be. Most people don't live till 67 and that is the plan they have. Keep you off the pay roll of retirement. We'll like you said for a very good reasons most take retirement early. And most do not have the luxury of a other funds. Thinking of age 64 to start these funds for retirement SSA collection..! Thank you for your advice Sr.
Thank you so much for watching!
I wish this would have been a little longer video. I'm just not really understanding what you mean
Check out some of our other videos. This was a short so it can only be 60 secs
You can say budget. Budget just means a plan. It means you know what you make and what you spend. Budget is ok. If you dont have a budget its not ok.
Thanks Gayle!
