    The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating. There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?

    The secret is to put money away every paycheck. He says 15% but I think you check out the budget for some extra. Put it into an SP index fund. Do not touch it. Just let it grow. If you are spending 10 hours a week worrying about it now,use that time for a hustle and tuck that away. Trying to work the market is a mugs game. It can be done by a few people but you don’t d sound like one. 10 years from now your index fund in your Roth IRA will be doing great. Or 401k.

      Indeed, It has always been tougher to understand how to build your money after retirement and even more so right now with the inflation. You can experience a completely varietied market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor.

      Even if you're not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April last year due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I've made over $250k since then

    Most people don’t realise it, but the secret to retiring comfortably is finding a way to make returns while your money works for you. My dad, as I remember, started saving for retirement quite late, but I know he was making more than 10k returns from his investment monthly and it was completely passive.

      You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 14.3%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an advisor.

      I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash.

    The concept of mini-retirement changed my life. I'm no longer waiting for some retirement paradise when I'm 65. It helps to know how to fund the lifestyle. You know, making money while you sip that piña colada by the beach does help. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.

      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.

    Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.

      True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

    My original retirement plan was to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money. However, high prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now.

      There’s a lot to decide on… How much do you want to carry in international, small value, bonds, etc. Most times it is better to just delegate your day-to-day investing to someone of great expertise. Investing with the help of a financial advisor set me up for life, retired as a millionaire at 55. I worked hard everyday as a teacher for 32 years, and my salary was over 100k annually. But if it wasn't for the covid-19 lockdown, I wouldn't have supplemented my income with stocks and alternative investments.

    It’s recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving that percentage can ensure that you have enough to venture into the market and diversify. You can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your portfolio over time.

    I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards financial freedom and early retirement, but the economy so far since the pandemic has eaten away most of my portfolio, what I want to know is this: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets or do I look into alternative sectors.

      Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

    My husband died 3 yrs ago at 59 years old. He saved his entire life and never got to retirement. Thankfully, he had the wisdom to marry me, and I made him live life!! We traveled, we had kids, we camped, we went to spas and the beach, and we hosted so many parties! I miss our life, it was a dream!

    I retired at 51 after 30 years as a professional engineer and executive at a large company. Went back two years as a contract employee at full pay with no direct reports. Now I do consulting work from time to time to keep sharp. My health is better than ever. I work out everyday, consume healthy foods and get plenty of sleep. While working like a dog 50-80+ hours a week, I didn't realize how sleep deprived, stressed out and exhausted I was. My advice is to live below your means, live debt-free, don't worry about the Joneses, save, invest and get out of the "rat race" as soon as financially possible. After all the worldwide traveling I did as an engineer, the last thing I want to do is travel.

I worked very hard to achieve what I have now, but in my last years, I owe it to myself to "stop and smell the roses." In my instance, I departed the nation after retiring and currently reside in Latin America. It made it possible for me to appreciate my new surroundings while escaping all the bad things that were going on in America. Nobody that I know of regrets retiring has yet to come to me

    I retired at 57, 7 years ago. My wife and I saved and invested early allowing me to exit the workforce when I did. She stayed home after our first was born and has not worked since (25+ years). House is paid off, kids college tuitions fully funded, have two late model cars fully paid off, travel extensively and do not forsake anything we need. I actually have more income coming in today than when I was working. We are not special and believe most people can do this with the appropriate level of planning and discipline.
    The key message I would communicate to others is don't delay retirement if you have the financial wherewithal to do so. Too often I have seen many people delay retirement and then experience health issues which constrain the very things they wanted to do post-retirement.
    Moreover, the most significant benefit of retirement for me is that I no longer have to deal with people I do not want to. That has proved to be the ultimate blessing.

    "Yes" to "hard-yes" across the board. I've rounded up retirement three times, have worked more than 2/3rds of my life, and am considering my exit date in the context of payout dates. Thanks for the extra confirmation.

    These are not quite the 6 questions I ask myself as I am still working, but for some of us, retiring at 65 or before is a pipe dream. We HAVE to work. Social Security doesn't have the funds enough to get us out of living check to check (i.e., my rent would take 2/3 of my monthly SS pay). I live in a 55+ retirement community, but I can now see why my neighbors never seem to leave the property....they can't afford to!

    We worked with Patrick to plan our retirement. He was EXCELLENT. Very thoughtful and took time to know us and our plans. His materials were top notch and easy to understand. As retirement approaches, we know exactly where we are and how to keep sight of our goals. Working with Patrick was better than a math exercise - it was an exercise to build piece of mind and have a roadmap for our retirement years. He also takes a LOT of time to encourage thoughtful retirement - including focus on quality and happiness. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

    Thank you for your videos mate.. . Crypto education is what the world needs the most right now. I don’t think that buy and hold is a valid investment strategy anymore. Not too diluted and to a degree, follows Evelyn’s trading ideas and signal tips for your portfolio growth and aggressiveness. She is a woman who has not only taught me what the cryptocurrency trading world looks like but a secret to uplift my finance. Buying crypto and waiting for the price to shoot up is not the best way to invest in the market but buying and trading is. Evelyn Infurna’s trade signaIs does the heavy lifting, generating competitive returns for crypto traders and investors in the form of money and peace of mind. Time in the market vs. timing the market. If you keep that mentality as an investor, you will stay calm during the storm! Within some months I was making a lot more money and have continued on that same path...

    Excellent! We retired early with no debt, house paid off. We saved enough to limit our retirement annual income so we used the subsidized heath care (Obamacare) until Medicare kicked in at age 65. That put our tax bracket at 12% and we saved over $25,000 in annual health insurance premiums.

    Two suggestions for your shoulder knot (these saved my life):
    1. Switch mousing hands - takes some adjusting, but trust me, you Can do it. Alternate each Monday.
    2. Go to an experienced dry needler|sciatic specialist. They can release the knot in a way that no amount of massage, hot tubs, or hot pads ever will..
    Seriously! Life changing!

    63 and got laid off in May. Thought about getting another job for about a week then it became brutally obvious that nobody will hire an engineer of my age. So...I guess I'm retired. I went through the numbers with my fidelity guy and moved the 401k to a retirement account. Cobra and unemployment for now. Got a kitchen clock with days of the week on it. Only issue now is a 17 year old shihtzu that is preventing me from traveling but that's ok. Resealed the driveway and did bakery sales at a fleamarket. No more weekly highlights, quarterly reviews, timecard, or late night meetings with Singapore. The guys back in the office are having to take on what I was doing and the company stock is now well below a dollar a share. I was lucky. And compared to a lot of folks (including my brother). I'm really lucky to be able to hang up my spurs while I'm still abouvethe grass.

      @JohnBowl14690 6 дней назад

      Yes, same here. I ramped down and only work about 20 hours a week now. My lead is a little bit ticked because it's much harder to be a half man down. My co-workers are saying, "You're always out". That's the perks of stockpiling vacation. I will retire in a few months and probably look a two day a week job for 4-6 hours per day or something like that. I don't want to commute for more than 15 minutes.

After the pandemic I landed a job where I could work from home, make great money with a very good company, good boss and team to work with plus I was doing important work. These were all the ingredients for a great job, only problem was that after close to 49 years of work I was spent. I didn't care anymore and did not want to pretend I cared. It was time to retire and move on to phase two of my life and do the work I wanted to do!

    Thanks for the update and keep doing what you do. My journey in the current market has taught me a lot of lessons, at the top of that list is that it never pays to live above one's means. I have managed to grow a nest egg of around $600k to a decent 7 figures in the space of a few months. Sad to say but a lot of us have poor money management skills. My 2 cents -get an advisor to keep you accountable and aid you make better decisions, Donna Mikalonis has been helping me a lot, all through my journey. I find it better to pay a little bit more for peace of mind than worry about money or market trends and still get >burned.

    I initially planned to retire at 62, working part-time while saving money. But steep price increases have disrupted my plan. I wonder if those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than my current situation. The declining stock market has lowered my income, and I'm worried that my reduced contributions will leave me with insufficient retirement savings.

    • @KaurKhangura
      @KaurKhangura 19 дней назад +3

      It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. 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.

      I suggest formulating a diversification strategy as constructing a strong financial portfolio has become more challenging post the onset of COVID. A coworker proposed the idea of enlisting the services of an advisor. I can personally attest to the success of this approach, having earned more than $120K with their guidance amidst the market turmoil. They employed defensive tactics to safeguard my portfolio and generate gains despite the market's fluctuations.
