Outstanding video Humphrey. I’m 54 sitting on $2.3 million. Granted it’s in 401K and Roth IRA. Only debt is $130K mortgage @ 2.125% so no rush to pay that off!! I’m what you call “qualified rich”. I decided to cut my hours down to 24/wk. Feels good to pay my bills and golf when I want. Work is just about maintaining health insurance and relationships now.
I have a very situation financially...but owe $69K on my home with a 3.5% mortgage. I accelerating the payoff of the mortgage to coincide with me 62.5 years old( 2 years from now) That happens to be the point I would like to retire. I just dont want to with a mortgage

Hello, I am due for retirement in two years, I'm a senior citizen but I'm curious to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments, I earn around $50K per year but nothing to show for it yet.
In this current unstable markets, It is advisable to diversify while retaining 70-80% in secure investments. looking at your budget, you should consider financial advisory.
It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $30k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.
I'm cautious about giving specific recommendations since this is an online forum and everyone situation is unique, but I've worked with Kimberly Grace Flanagan for years and highly recommend her. Look her up to see if she meets your criteria.
In my 50s, I'm focused on investments for retirement to meet my day to day need and also get charged lesser taxes even while in a higher tax bracket. My combined employer 401k and roth IRA of $1m returns about 4%. What would you advice to do with my portfolio for improved returns?
I don't really know your risk tolerance or asset allocation, sounds like just bad stock picking. Also unclear if you have an advisor providing value via financial planning or other decision making. But likely scenario is just bad stock picks. Index funds, Etfs and chill.
I only contribute 5% to get full company match, that’s it. The 401K plan is designed for you to work until you are about dead. Also, the government does not have their hands on it yet either.
Great advice here. Keep it simple, buy things you understand, take some risk but don't try to shoot the lights out. I currently have 75% SCHD and 25% ROTH IRA. Brokerage account is 40% VOO, 35% SCHD, 25% XLK. Combine balance ~$3.3m Less than 3 years until retirement.... I have about 400k in cash. My portfolio has yielded far more than I expected for my retirement. Q3 taxable divs this year was $18,388 this year. Thanks to my CFA.
@@Redwood4040 I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
Absolutely! I work with Victoria Louisa Saylor. I’d be happy to connect you-Victoria has been fantastic in helping me build a solid, long-term strategy. You can explore how she might help with your goals too.
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.
Retired at 56 and my retirement investments are more than when I retired. We like taking one 28 day vacation per year. We started investing in our 401ks in our early 20s.
Lately I've been contemplating retirement, uncertain whether my 401(k) and IRA will ensure a secure future. I've also invested $800K in the stock market, experiencing fluctuations without substantial gains.
Using a 401(k) or IRA is a valuable strategy for retirement planning, providing potential savings growth and tax advantages. While the stock market is promising, expert guidance is essential for effective portfolio management.
Exactly my solution too, even though I'm not retired. As a contractor with limited time to analyze investments, I've relied on a fiduciary for the past seven years to manage my portfolio. This strategy has helped me navigate market fluctuations effectively and also increased my porfolio by up to 300%. You might consider a similar approach.
I've got similar problems and I have also considered using an FA but I don't know how to go about it. Please, what are the steps for getting one? Like a really good one.
Who the hell wants to work after 65? Screw that. I would love to stop even before that. I’ve been saving 25% and pray I can go part time in my mid/late 50’s at least.
Yeah I plan on going part time at 55 and retire at 62.Part time being around 25 hrs a week. Working more than that is crazy. I’m doing my time now so I can enjoy myself later
Great breakdown of retirement portfolio goals! It’s super helpful to see specific examples for $250K, $500K, $1M, and $2M-makes it so much easier to visualize and plan speciific retirement savings goals.
Thanks! This one is encouraging. I hear so often that I “need” $2MM to retire and also that median retirement savings for my age group is around $167K. I’m well north of that at the moment but nowhere near a track that gets me to $2 mil. This video was helpful.

@@patriciascottly6373Thanks for your advice, but How can someone know a professional account manager that is trustworthy when legit once are hard to find this days.
I think one thing you probably have to do as well as subtract out your savings rate. If you're saving at 20% then you don't need 80% you only need 60%.
I've always found estimating expenses in retirement difficult. I'm working now and am largely too busy to spend the bulk of the money I'm making. When I retire, I will have lots of free time, and filling that time will likely cost money, potentially more money than I'm spending now.
Honestly this is a great video and appreciate your insight into the topic. As grim as it sounds, I'm happy that we talked about the 76 year life span or the average of 83 for men and 86 for women. The classic 30 year withdrawal rate of 4% might be too optimistic / conservative for someone that retires at the age of 65. Great video!
It’s important to note that “average” life span includes a whole lot of people who die before age 65. If you make it to 65, you can expect to live another 17 years (male) or 19.7 years female.
Hey Humphrey, always love your videos. I do have one point I don't see a lot of financial creators mention when they talk about life expectancy (such as your reference to a 76 year lifespan). We should really look at lifespan more dynamically based on current age. So while your reference to a lifespan of 76 years for Americans may be accurate as a whole. For Americans who are already 65, the average is actually 83 for men and 86 for women. This makes a big difference especially for retirement planning for those who want to "die with 0".
@@humphrey exactly! It helps when ensuring people plan for longer than 10-15 year retirements. That 76 year old average is significantly weighed down by those who pass before 65!
This is why I plan to live off dividends. Never have to withdraw or worry about market conditions. Requires a larger portfolio, but that larger portfolio happens with about the same investment when reinvesting growing dividends. And you’ll have a nice portfolio to pass on.
@@TheHavocdog I do, regardless of the stocks size in my portfolio I try to keep each only contributing 5% or less to my total dividend income. My goal is to also only be living off 80%, continuing to reinvest the 20% I don’t use, and acting as a buffer if as many as 4 or 5 companies completely stop paying in a single year.
Investments are the roots of financial security; the deeper they grow, the stronger your future will be. With my adviser, I’ve cultivated deep investment roots, strengthening my financial security for the future
Please educate me. I am so much interested in investing but i don't want to make mistakes and loose my money. Can you pls connect me with your Adviser?
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched the web with his full name and his website popped up immediately. I looked through his credentials very impresive and i will send him an email right now
RE: The 80% rule, if you need a rule of thumb to know how much money you actually spend on a month to month basis, then you don't need to decide how much money you can spend in retirement. You need to know how much you spend *right now*. You are currently living in the world. You should know how much you spend and be able to project that forward (read: it'll be mostly the same. You'll spend more on healthcare and less on saving). From there, you can see how much luxury you can afford. For me, I use your financial mastersheet, which has my spending: savings ratio pre-calculated. I save 35%, which means I'll need to budget for 65% of my salary in retirement. That is my bottom line for existing at my current lifestyle budget. Everything I spend after that is flavor -- which I can budget for, but I know that if my retirement can't sustain that bottom line number, I need to make adjustments. When you put in the work to understand your fundamentals, the rest of this stuff suddenly becomes pretty easy!
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts. The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Evelyn Vera, you're a miracle.
I'm on track to fully retire by 45. But I'll probably work after that depending on how I feel. I'm sure it'll feel GREAT to work, but not have to worry about being at the mercy of anyone.
I have zero will to retire, but it's still worth my time to look at this. On top of my job, there are other things I want to try. Funding my own ideas, maybe starting a business at some point, or maybe helping my future kids do something extra nice that I never got to. As Brian and Bo say, the goal is FINE: Financial Independence, Next Endeavor.
I'm a 52-year-old QA Specialist at Confluera, earning $150,000 annually. While I have a retirement account, I'm eager to explore short-term investment opportunities before transitioning to part-time work in the coming years.
As a soon retiree, keeping my 401k on course after a rocky 2022 is top priority. I have been reading of investors making up to 250k ROI in this current crashing market, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated
there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience
Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I netted over $220K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know
She goes by ‘’Melissa Terri Swayne’ I suggest you look her up. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.
You might want talk about 401K annual saving limit for those high earners. At 200K income, the most they can save is around 11.3% in 2024 into 401K. The rest is some other outside investment account.
If you’re over 50, you get catchup contributions. Also, the limit of 23k does not include employer match…. All your money doesn’t need to go into retirement accounts. More than likely, folks put into brokerage accounts as well.
Super like this blog, Mr. Yang thank you. You showed the calculations how it will look like to have certain money for retirement. I am 51 and wife is 49 and we are in Gazelle intense in putting more money towards our retirement, glad we work in Federal Government aside from social security and TSP money we have pension as well. Our cars are new and paid cash, only debt mortgage with 2.25%. We are travelling now while we can.
Wow. Seems like retirement in the US is expensive. Glad I'm in the UK. I've got 175k and just over 5yrs until I get my state pension. And I can see how I'm gonna spend it all b4 I die!! 😊😊
I will have a pension+social security, I also max out my Roth 401k and Roth IRA and have just recently started a brokerage account. Online calculators project me at 2.5M with a 10% ROI…I have no intention of slowing down my investment as I want to leave something to my kids as inheritance. I don’t need much for retirement either as I live very frugally
Going through some retirement planning now. One major consideration is LTC planning also. Major expense and 100% necessary for some families toward end of life.
The 80% rule makes no sense as described in this video. At 7:43 you give the example of this: if your salary was $100,000 annually then you should plan to spend $80,000 per year in retirement. If you think about it - if your current salary is $100,000 then that means you are actually spending about $76,000 annually (after taking out 24% for taxes). So right now you are spending $76,000 annually and you saying that in retirement I should be spending $80,000??? That is actually MORE than I am spending right now. That doesn't make sense to me.
@@mariatreloar9482 maybe. But he specifically said "you should plan to SPEND $80,000 per year in retirement" - not WITHDRAW $80,000 per year in retirement. I feel like the language is very very important in these videos. There is a big difference between spend and withdraw.
Started investing at 23. Crossed to a 6 figure income at 30. Maintained a 13٪ savings rate. 7% growth rate projects a 3.5m portfolio. Obviously 8, 10, and 12% looks much much much better.... but a safe 3.5. Would be good.
Great to hear someone discuss dynamic spending. Have you thought about dynamic withdrawal with savings to dividend etf? I have 2.5m pretax, I made 350k this year, since I am already at 22% tax why not withdrawal more in up years. Put extra in the post tax dividend account. In down years draw balance from post tax to live on until market is up again. The average is 3 down years every 10 years and has held true for last 30 years. I am now 62, wife 57 and still working.
I have been retired for five years now. Although I've been adhering to the 4% rule, things are challenging as I did not anticipate. 30% of the $600K I invested in st0cks is lost to the market. How can I diversify my portfolio for retirement
Now you are retired and depend on your investment, it’s best you redistribute your capital. To simplify the process, you could allocate your resources with the help of a financial advisor.
I needed a good boost to help my dwindling stock portfolio stay afloat, hence I came across an expert who helped a lot to grow my port-folio from $275k to approx. $850k in two years.
This is really nice. I worry that I have a couple more years before retirement, and I want to switch to using a financial advisor, I could really use the expertise of this advisor.
In the U.S. considering SS and Medicare both are estimated to have a net shortfall of approximately $80T over the next 75 years, the net worth the younger worker of today projects to live off of in retirement in the decades to come won’t be based on the same rules and conventional wisdom in play for the last 40 years.
I would love a video that could help us choose a planner to help set us up for tax strategies and repositioning for retirement. I’m 47 and have done ok on my own but as I’m getting older and don’t want to work forever I am feeling the need to get help but am wary of salespeople disguised as financial planners. Tyty!
My desired spend in retirement: 200K (I want luxury travel). Years to retirement: 16. Amount needed for 4% withdrawal: 5mil Other sources of retirement income: I'll assume I don't get them Amount saved so far: 700K ROI Rate: 5%. Savings amount I need: 134K per year for 16 years. I guess I better get 2 more jobs.
Hi Humphrey, fantastic education with solid data and simulated scenarios. My situation: I am 53, and I estimate my portfolio at $1.6M and zero debt on my 56th birthday. I want to work until 60, hope to bulk up that portfolio to become $2.7M (again, zero debt). I live in the Phoenix area. Do you think I can withdraw $120k from my portfolio (50% Roth, 50% Traditional) at ~5% rate plus SS confidently?
Is there a plug & play formula anywhere? I’ve been investing 9% since age 18 (2018, I turn 25 next month) & I make 60k a year. I’ve currently got a total of $62,000 in my fidelity accounts.
I would love a deeper video of expectations that people should have in retirement. Should I expect to spend more or less? When should I use certain dollars (tax deferred or tax free, etc.)
The spending expectation is easy: you will spend as much as you spend today, minus any amount you're saving for retirement. We have this image of this huge life transition -- and it is -- but financially, money just moves buckets (mainly from savings to healthcare). It's not like you're going to stop eating, maintaining your house, upgrading appliances every once in a while, buying new furniture, etc. Life just continues apace. Since you're no longer working, you'll want to increase your fun budget quite a bit, and I suspect that just depends on how much money you have access to.
Great video!!! 🎊 Could you talk to the process of pensions? I have one and my 401k, but I am in my 50s so I am not clear on the pension factors into the picture. Thanks!!!
Im 42 with $1.2m in 401k. The number my financial advisor recommended was about $5.6m. I dont plan on retiring until Im 60, so I should hit that, and hopefully surpass it my quite a bit. My dream is to hit $10m and die with at least $15m so I can pass $5m to each of my kids.
Be careful about giving too much to your kids…”unearned” income is not always a good choice for your kids…also, if they divorce then the ex-spouse of your child gets 1/2 of your money😢
It actually needs to be market driven. If the market is way up you could withdraw more lik 5 or 6 percent, but if market is way down, withdraw 2 or 3 percent. Just because you withdraw doesn’t mean you have to spend it. Withdraw and hold cash for when markets down so you don’t have to withdraw as much.
I have about 30 years before I can even consider retiring (excluding any miracles), so I am assuming social security will likely not be an option by the time I get there.
I've never understood why the 80% rule refers to 'current salary' rather than 'current expenditures'. If my current expenditures are 20% of my salary, why would I expect to be spending 4x that in retirement?
Im really wanting to add solar to my home but not sure if going through that debt is worth the return I believe it is but what are your thoughts? Live in Florida btw where we lose power when hurricanes pass.

Explain, I’m assuming that 3- 5k trips a year are for singles? Or the Bahamas? If not, let me know where you cruise or travel for 5k a week for 2 people? I would love to save a few bucks! It’s basically 10k a week for 2 persons, anything decent, again, unless you’re local traveling.
I think it's odd to assume that people will be retired for 30 years. If they work to the full retirement age of 67, there are gonna be a lot of people pushing 100 years old.
It's good you assumed 30 years and not the average American age at death. This is because the average age of someone who reaches age 65 is actually a lot higher than the average of the overall population
I don't understand the spreadsheet you show at 5:29. For example in the first row you show an Annual Withdrawal of $20,000. And you show Taxes Paid of $2,222.22. And then you show a Net Withdrawal of $22,222.22. Huh? Why would you add the Annual Withdrawal to the Taxes Paid to get something called "net"? Are you trying to say that you really withdraw $22,222.22 from your portfolio and you also get $22,884 from SS for a total income of $45,106.22 and then taxes on that total income would be $2,222.22 for a net income of $42,884? Is the idea that you are trying to figure out how much you need to withdraw so that after taxes it is 4%?
Your wrong about life expectancy. 76 is for people born today and it factors in the dangers of being a 20-30 yearold male and reckless. if you reach 62, your life expectancy is 82-83.
Thanks @humphrey. My unknown worry disappeared a little bit. We have about 18 years till our retirement with a little kid, so we'll do our best for all of us.
40-something DINK here with nobody to leave our house/cars/assets to. I hadn’t considered the following point, but I’m thinking my wife and I could sell our vehicles once driving becomes unsafe (which would also reduce insurance costs) and put a reverse mortgage on the house or sell it, downsize, and rent once we hit an advanced age. I think we’ll be okay without doing that because, although we started saving late, we put a lot into our 401k, HSA, & IRAs annually & I have a pension. But I’m guessing there are other DINKs out there like us who won’t have anyone to leave their assets to that might consider either a reverse mortgage or selling their home & renting in their final decade or so to bridge any gaps in savings they may have. I’d be interested to hear more creative ways folks can make ends meet in retirement if they have no one to pass their assets to.
Digital silver in a digital age, litecoin is a digital precious metal, not a security. Litecoin is the oldest coin on the market after bitcoin, since its inception in 2011. The scarcity of litecoin is the key feature of its technology. Everyone tends to flock to digital silver and digital gold, litecoin, and bitcoin, when things aren't going well. Litecoin is a decentralized digital commodity, just like bitcoin, but not even close so heavily concentrated in a few hands like bitcoin is. Both have Proof-of-Work consensus, and both have a limited supply of coins. Only that litecoin is lighter, swifter, and hugely undervalued against bitcoin. Litecoin (LTC) being a digital commodity provides a decent inflation hedge as well because there will be mined only a limited number of 84 million litecoins in total.
*I really appreciate your clear and simple breakdown on financial pitfalls! I lost so much money on stock market but now making around $18k to $21k every week trading different stocks and cryptos*
It really depends. I am retired and spend about twice as much as I spent when working - I didn't have time to spend much when I had to go to work. My net worth is still increasing around 5% a year, so why not?
Average life expectancy of 76 means at birth. But life expectancy at age 65 will be more like 84. And for a married couple, one survivor is likely to reach 91. To be safe, you need to figure on a long time horizon, or else develop a taste for cat food. Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
News flash by the time you can retire these numbers will be a joke and you’ll actually need at least 5 million to retire. Good video but you should’ve added if inflation keeps rising over the years, this is how much you’ll need ect. This is w The amount of money you need right now to retire, I guarantee you, you don’t have a viewer who’s going to retire this year or next year lol

as most investing-related questions, the answer is, it depends.. my best suggestion is to consider advisory management
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.
Glad to have stumbled on this comment, Please who is the consultant that assist you and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?

Thank you for this amazing tip. I just looked the name up and wrote her.
Retired at 56 and my retirement investments are more than when I retired. We like taking one 28 day vacation per year. We started investing in our 401ks in our early 20s.
Lately I've been contemplating retirement, uncertain whether my 401(k) and IRA will ensure a secure future. I've also invested $800K in the stock market, experiencing fluctuations without substantial gains.
Using a 401(k) or IRA is a valuable strategy for retirement planning, providing potential savings growth and tax advantages. While the stock market is promising, expert guidance is essential for effective portfolio management.
Exactly my solution too, even though I'm not retired. As a contractor with limited time to analyze investments, I've relied on a fiduciary for the past seven years to manage my portfolio. This strategy has helped me navigate market fluctuations effectively and also increased my porfolio by up to 300%. You might consider a similar approach.
I've got similar problems and I have also considered using an FA but I don't know how to go about it. Please, what are the steps for getting one? Like a really good one.
Stacy Lynn Staples is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Please educate me, I’ve come across this name before, Now i'm interested.
Who the hell wants to work after 65? Screw that. I would love to stop even before that. I’ve been saving 25% and pray I can go part time in my mid/late 50’s at least.
the other part to think about is social security benefits and how much they might be able to augment the above.
Yeah I plan on going part time at 55 and retire at 62.Part time being around 25 hrs a week. Working more than that is crazy. I’m doing my time now so I can enjoy myself later
I stopped at 58.5 years old. The job was toxic, so I pulled the rip cord as soon as I got what I wanted, the pension
Some people like their jobs
@@AfricanBoy2422l yes, but I was demoted and given extra work, but I stayed to get the pension. Some of us suffer to get the dream later.
Great breakdown of retirement portfolio goals! It’s super helpful to see specific examples for $250K, $500K, $1M, and $2M-makes it so much easier to visualize and plan speciific retirement savings goals.
I'm not calculating ss into my retirement. Maxing everything I can for the next 20-25 years while having everything paid off.
Same here. I'm not counting on it. I've been investing over 50% of my take home for years now. I should only have about 10 years left.
Same, I'm counting that as a tax and assuming I'm not getting anything in return.
the state that it's at this is a reasonable take honestly.
That is a wise decision! We won't get SS. :(
Thanks! This one is encouraging. I hear so often that I “need” $2MM to retire and also that median retirement savings for my age group is around $167K. I’m well north of that at the moment but nowhere near a track that gets me to $2 mil. This video was helpful.

I think one thing you probably have to do as well as subtract out your savings rate. If you're saving at 20% then you don't need 80% you only need 60%.
Good point
I've always found estimating expenses in retirement difficult. I'm working now and am largely too busy to spend the bulk of the money I'm making. When I retire, I will have lots of free time, and filling that time will likely cost money, potentially more money than I'm spending now.
Honestly this is a great video and appreciate your insight into the topic. As grim as it sounds, I'm happy that we talked about the 76 year life span or the average of 83 for men and 86 for women. The classic 30 year withdrawal rate of 4% might be too optimistic / conservative for someone that retires at the age of 65. Great video!
😢 damn that’s so depressing but honestly a valid point
It’s important to note that “average” life span includes a whole lot of people who die before age 65.
If you make it to 65, you can expect to live another 17 years (male) or 19.7 years female.
@@andrewmcalister3462 good point!
We are a couple years out and are savings poor. We started late but will be ok. This video confirms what we are doing is right. Appreciate it.
Hey Humphrey, always love your videos. I do have one point I don't see a lot of financial creators mention when they talk about life expectancy (such as your reference to a 76 year lifespan).
We should really look at lifespan more dynamically based on current age. So while your reference to a lifespan of 76 years for Americans may be accurate as a whole. For Americans who are already 65, the average is actually 83 for men and 86 for women. This makes a big difference especially for retirement planning for those who want to "die with 0".
great to hear from you. Ok that makes a lot of sense, becaues those at 65 have already made it to 65 I assume haha
@@humphrey exactly! It helps when ensuring people plan for longer than 10-15 year retirements. That 76 year old average is significantly weighed down by those who pass before 65!
@@williamstanley9048 Also, if you're planning for a married couple, one survivor is likely to go further still. Perhaps to 91 years old!
This is why I plan to live off dividends. Never have to withdraw or worry about market conditions. Requires a larger portfolio, but that larger portfolio happens with about the same investment when reinvesting growing dividends. And you’ll have a nice portfolio to pass on.
I have had two stocks that pay dividends, cut or stop paying dividends in bad years. You may want to have a plan if that happens.
@@TheHavocdog I do, regardless of the stocks size in my portfolio I try to keep each only contributing 5% or less to my total dividend income. My goal is to also only be living off 80%, continuing to reinvest the 20% I don’t use, and acting as a buffer if as many as 4 or 5 companies completely stop paying in a single year.
Investments are the roots of financial security; the deeper they grow, the stronger your future will be. With my adviser, I’ve cultivated deep investment roots, strengthening my financial security for the future
Please educate me. I am so much interested in investing but i don't want to make mistakes and loose my money. Can you pls connect me with your Adviser?
My financial adviser is Gabriel Alberto William , he is not just a broker, he is a financial adviser that gives advice on any financial matters
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched the web with his full name and his website popped up immediately. I looked through his credentials very impresive and i will send him an email right now
RE: The 80% rule, if you need a rule of thumb to know how much money you actually spend on a month to month basis, then you don't need to decide how much money you can spend in retirement. You need to know how much you spend *right now*.
You are currently living in the world. You should know how much you spend and be able to project that forward (read: it'll be mostly the same. You'll spend more on healthcare and less on saving). From there, you can see how much luxury you can afford.
For me, I use your financial mastersheet, which has my spending: savings ratio pre-calculated. I save 35%, which means I'll need to budget for 65% of my salary in retirement. That is my bottom line for existing at my current lifestyle budget. Everything I spend after that is flavor -- which I can budget for, but I know that if my retirement can't sustain that bottom line number, I need to make adjustments.
When you put in the work to understand your fundamentals, the rest of this stuff suddenly becomes pretty easy!
I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.

I started pretty low, though, $5000 thereabouts.
The return came massive. Joey is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school. Thank you Evelyn Vera, you're a miracle.
I'm on track to fully retire by 45. But I'll probably work after that depending on how I feel. I'm sure it'll feel GREAT to work, but not have to worry about being at the mercy of anyone.
I'm 21 with 73k in investments currently. I would like to partially retire when I'm 40, part time with just enough hours to get insurance.
This is the way.
If you are doing that well at 21, then I have no doubt that you'll get there.
I have zero will to retire, but it's still worth my time to look at this. On top of my job, there are other things I want to try. Funding my own ideas, maybe starting a business at some point, or maybe helping my future kids do something extra nice that I never got to. As Brian and Bo say, the goal is FINE: Financial Independence, Next Endeavor.
I'm a 52-year-old QA Specialist at Confluera, earning $150,000 annually. While I have a retirement account, I'm eager to explore short-term investment opportunities before transitioning to part-time work in the coming years.
As a soon retiree, keeping my 401k on course after a rocky 2022 is top priority. I have been reading of investors making up to 250k ROI in this current crashing market, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated
there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience
Having an investment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I netted over $220K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know

You might want talk about 401K annual saving limit for those high earners. At 200K income, the most they can save is around 11.3% in 2024 into 401K. The rest is some other outside investment account.
If you’re over 50, you get catchup contributions. Also, the limit of 23k does not include employer match…. All your money doesn’t need to go into retirement accounts. More than likely, folks put into brokerage accounts as well.
@@larryly3613 Easy. Roth IRA, Hsa, hysa, brokerage, investment properties. Keep it simple.
I wanted to ask this same question. How do you save 35% annually with 200k income?
@tsrockstroh mega backdoor roth ira up to 69k/year. Brokerage accounts if you house isn't high interest debt above 5%. Easy.
@tsrockstroh If people can live on 75K, then people can live on 130K.
I’m counting SS at 75% max. Based on conservative growth and downsizing I should be able to bail at 60. 62 if the market has a historic correction.
Ive been watching a lot of your content and reevaluating my life. Thanks for the information it’s been very helpful.
Super like this blog, Mr. Yang thank you. You showed the calculations how it will look like to have certain money for retirement. I am 51 and wife is 49 and we are in Gazelle intense in putting more money towards our retirement, glad we work in Federal Government aside from social security and TSP money we have pension as well. Our cars are new and paid cash, only debt mortgage with 2.25%. We are travelling now while we can.
I love that you use "portfolio size for families". Whenever I watch these videos I ask myself "do I double it for my spouse?"
Great info.. people definitely need to see this explained simply
Wow. Seems like retirement in the US is expensive. Glad I'm in the UK. I've got 175k and just over 5yrs until I get my state pension. And I can see how I'm gonna spend it all b4 I die!! 😊😊
I will have a pension+social security, I also max out my Roth 401k and Roth IRA and have just recently started a brokerage account. Online calculators project me at 2.5M with a 10% ROI…I have no intention of slowing down my investment as I want to leave something to my kids as inheritance. I don’t need much for retirement either as I live very frugally
Going through some retirement planning now. One major consideration is LTC planning also. Major expense and 100% necessary for some families toward end of life.
The 80% rule makes no sense as described in this video. At 7:43 you give the example of this: if your salary was $100,000 annually then you should plan to spend $80,000 per year in retirement. If you think about it - if your current salary is $100,000 then that means you are actually spending about $76,000 annually (after taking out 24% for taxes). So right now you are spending $76,000 annually and you saying that in retirement I should be spending $80,000??? That is actually MORE than I am spending right now. That doesn't make sense to me.
You have to factor potential taxes, I believe this is an example of gross withdraw not net taxes
@@mariatreloar9482 maybe. But he specifically said "you should plan to SPEND $80,000 per year in retirement" - not WITHDRAW $80,000 per year in retirement. I feel like the language is very very important in these videos. There is a big difference between spend and withdraw.
Started investing at 23. Crossed to a 6 figure income at 30. Maintained a 13٪ savings rate. 7% growth rate projects a 3.5m portfolio. Obviously 8, 10, and 12% looks much much much better.... but a safe 3.5. Would be good.
Great to hear someone discuss dynamic spending. Have you thought about dynamic withdrawal with savings to dividend etf? I have 2.5m pretax, I made 350k this year, since I am already at 22% tax why not withdrawal more in up years. Put extra in the post tax dividend account. In down years draw balance from post tax to live on until market is up again. The average is 3 down years every 10 years and has held true for last 30 years. I am now 62, wife 57 and still working.
I have been retired for five years now. Although I've been adhering to the 4% rule, things are challenging as I did not anticipate. 30% of the $600K I invested in st0cks is lost to the market. How can I diversify my portfolio for retirement
Now you are retired and depend on your investment, it’s best you redistribute your capital. To simplify the process, you could allocate your resources with the help of a financial advisor.
I needed a good boost to help my dwindling stock portfolio stay afloat, hence I came across an expert who helped a lot to grow my port-folio from $275k to approx. $850k in two years.
This is really nice. I worry that I have a couple more years before retirement, and I want to switch to using a financial advisor, I could really use the expertise of this advisor.
My financial advisor is Annette Marie Holt” I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and I reached out to her afterwards via her website
Thanks a lot for this recommendation. I just looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
In the U.S. considering SS and Medicare both are estimated to have a net shortfall of approximately $80T over the next 75 years, the net worth the younger worker of today projects to live off of in retirement in the decades to come won’t be based on the same rules and conventional wisdom in play for the last 40 years.
Great video! You always make me feel optimistic about my retirement savings!
Always enjoy your videos, thanks for putting the time into these
Glad you like them!
Hit 140k in TSP. Worried that maxing out once I hit 50 won’t be enough.
I would love a video that could help us choose a planner to help set us up for tax strategies and repositioning for retirement. I’m 47 and have done ok on my own but as I’m getting older and don’t want to work forever I am feeling the need to get help but am wary of salespeople disguised as financial planners. Tyty!
Great vid, Humphrey!
My desired spend in retirement: 200K (I want luxury travel).
Years to retirement: 16.
Amount needed for 4% withdrawal: 5mil
Other sources of retirement income: I'll assume I don't get them
Amount saved so far: 700K
ROI Rate: 5%.
Savings amount I need: 134K per year for 16 years.
I guess I better get 2 more jobs.
Damn ....don't waste time on internet then ..get to hamster wheel.
Vid checks out. I was told I need $2m balance for $100k/yr draw from my financial management guy.
I'd love to deplete my portfolio to 0 just before my lifespan ticks to 0!
Hi Humphrey, fantastic education with solid data and simulated scenarios. My situation: I am 53, and I estimate my portfolio at $1.6M and zero debt on my 56th birthday. I want to work until 60, hope to bulk up that portfolio to become $2.7M (again, zero debt). I live in the Phoenix area. Do you think I can withdraw $120k from my portfolio (50% Roth, 50% Traditional) at ~5% rate plus SS confidently?
Is there a plug & play formula anywhere? I’ve been investing 9% since age 18 (2018, I turn 25 next month) & I make 60k a year. I’ve currently got a total of $62,000 in my fidelity accounts.
I would love a deeper video of expectations that people should have in retirement. Should I expect to spend more or less? When should I use certain dollars (tax deferred or tax free, etc.)
The spending expectation is easy: you will spend as much as you spend today, minus any amount you're saving for retirement. We have this image of this huge life transition -- and it is -- but financially, money just moves buckets (mainly from savings to healthcare). It's not like you're going to stop eating, maintaining your house, upgrading appliances every once in a while, buying new furniture, etc. Life just continues apace. Since you're no longer working, you'll want to increase your fun budget quite a bit, and I suspect that just depends on how much money you have access to.
A paid off house is almost a necessity before retirement. As a matter of fact I wouldn’t even consider retiring with a mortgage.
Great video!!! 🎊 Could you talk to the process of pensions? I have one and my 401k, but I am in my 50s so I am not clear on the pension factors into the picture. Thanks!!!
Great video! Can you post the spreadsheet?
We will have a better idea of Social Security’s future next week.
What about Long Term Healthcare Cost in this equation? 24 hour in home nursing care can cost up to 250k a year. Maybe I missed this in the video.
HI HUMPHREY!
hi!
Im 42 with $1.2m in 401k. The number my financial advisor recommended was about $5.6m. I dont plan on retiring until Im 60, so I should hit that, and hopefully surpass it my quite a bit. My dream is to hit $10m and die with at least $15m so I can pass $5m to each of my kids.
Be careful about giving too much to your kids…”unearned” income is not always a good choice for your kids…also, if they divorce then the ex-spouse of your child gets 1/2 of your money😢
4% may be a bit much, especially for a long-time period. Maybe better calculate with 3 or 3,5% percent to be safe.
It actually needs to be market driven. If the market is way up you could withdraw more lik 5 or 6 percent, but if market is way down, withdraw 2 or 3 percent. Just because you withdraw doesn’t mean you have to spend it. Withdraw and hold cash for when markets down so you don’t have to withdraw as much.
lol Pontiac, MI catching a stray at 7:20
lol 😂
I have about 30 years before I can even consider retiring (excluding any miracles), so I am assuming social security will likely not be an option by the time I get there.
This is all assuming you already have your mortgage paid off, right?
Always live on 70% or less of your income. 10% to charity, and 20% (or more) to savings and investments.
I want to keep as much money in my retirement to pass on to my children
Great vid, thank you.
u r welcome!
I am not expecting any social security by i’m eligible (i’m 32)
and I think most people under 40 should plan to not have that (better safe than sorry)
I've never understood why the 80% rule refers to 'current salary' rather than 'current expenditures'. If my current expenditures are 20% of my salary, why would I expect to be spending 4x that in retirement?
Planning that social security does not exist
It will exist, but at a lower level than now. My plans project that I will only get 70% of the normal level.
@TheHavocdog fair. I just like to think of worst case scenarios. Maybe a good compromise is thinking it will be 1/2?
One other thing to note is that if you hit 65, your life expectancy will be higher than 76
Im really wanting to add solar to my home but not sure if going through that debt is worth the return I believe it is but what are your thoughts? Live in Florida btw where we lose power when hurricanes pass.

But this is with the numbers of 2024. Isnt there a rule to account for inflation 30 years from now?
If I'm retiring 10-30 years from now, wouldn't this have to factor in inflation? I'll bet $1 million isn't worth the same at that point.
How much are you planning on retiring on?
Explain, I’m assuming that 3- 5k trips a year are for singles?
Or the Bahamas?
If not, let me know where you cruise or travel for 5k a week for 2 people?
I would love to save a few bucks!
It’s basically 10k a week for 2 persons, anything decent, again, unless you’re local traveling.
I think it's odd to assume that people will be retired for 30 years. If they work to the full retirement age of 67, there are gonna be a lot of people pushing 100 years old.
6:30 does that even make a difference? Thats such an insignificant sum
It's good you assumed 30 years and not the average American age at death. This is because the average age of someone who reaches age 65 is actually a lot higher than the average of the overall population
I don't understand the spreadsheet you show at 5:29. For example in the first row you show an Annual Withdrawal of $20,000. And you show Taxes Paid of $2,222.22. And then you show a Net Withdrawal of $22,222.22. Huh? Why would you add the Annual Withdrawal to the Taxes Paid to get something called "net"? Are you trying to say that you really withdraw $22,222.22 from your portfolio and you also get $22,884 from SS for a total income of $45,106.22 and then taxes on that total income would be $2,222.22 for a net income of $42,884? Is the idea that you are trying to figure out how much you need to withdraw so that after taxes it is 4%?
Your wrong about life expectancy. 76 is for people born today and it factors in the dangers of being a 20-30 yearold male and reckless. if you reach 62, your life expectancy is 82-83.
$3.08 million sounds great.
yes!
Having at least $2 million in Roth accounts for tax free withdrawals sounds sweeter.

Thanks @humphrey. My unknown worry disappeared a little bit. We have about 18 years till our retirement with a little kid, so we'll do our best for all of us.
40-something DINK here with nobody to leave our house/cars/assets to. I hadn’t considered the following point, but I’m thinking my wife and I could sell our vehicles once driving becomes unsafe (which would also reduce insurance costs) and put a reverse mortgage on the house or sell it, downsize, and rent once we hit an advanced age.
I think we’ll be okay without doing that because, although we started saving late, we put a lot into our 401k, HSA, & IRAs annually & I have a pension. But I’m guessing there are other DINKs out there like us who won’t have anyone to leave their assets to that might consider either a reverse mortgage or selling their home & renting in their final decade or so to bridge any gaps in savings they may have.
I’d be interested to hear more creative ways folks can make ends meet in retirement if they have no one to pass their assets to.
I volunteer as tribute 😂
@@Zbecker13No, they can adopt me. Dad likes me better.
DINK here, we have thought of doing this as well. It's another lever that is available to pull if we need more cash in retirement.
Digital silver in a digital age, litecoin is a digital precious metal, not a security. Litecoin is the oldest coin on the market after bitcoin, since its inception in 2011. The scarcity of litecoin is the key feature of its technology. Everyone tends to flock to digital silver and digital gold, litecoin, and bitcoin, when things aren't going well. Litecoin is a decentralized digital commodity, just like bitcoin, but not even close so heavily concentrated in a few hands like bitcoin is. Both have Proof-of-Work consensus, and both have a limited supply of coins. Only that litecoin is lighter, swifter, and hugely undervalued against bitcoin. Litecoin (LTC) being a digital commodity provides a decent inflation hedge as well because there will be mined only a limited number of 84 million litecoins in total.
What if your house is paid off? I feel like I could easily live off of half my salary with my only housing costs being property taxes and insurance.
Agree! Hopefully my house is paid off, all my kids are through college. If I start removing expenses, I could easily get to 50%…

Genuine question: why do people do the 80% rule, why not just do the same amount as your current annual spend?
I think its because retirees tend to see their spending decrease
@@humphrey 80% of my income is way higher than my annual spend. For example, 50% is in investing.
@@MFTW Well then you either reduce your savings rate and spend more now, or retire early with the 80% rule (or without).
@@danzdogg why not just spend based on what I currently spend since my retirement income will be less than my current income?
It really depends. I am retired and spend about twice as much as I spent when working - I didn't have time to spend much when I had to go to work. My net worth is still increasing around 5% a year, so why not?
Do we incorporate dividends with these withdrawals
Average life expectancy of 76 means at birth. But life expectancy at age 65 will be more like 84. And for a married couple, one survivor is likely to reach 91.
