    Honestly, you are a business owner who works for yourself now. You were able to give yourself the freedom to leave your jobs to free yourself from those confines. Your family is a great inspiration. I miss your videos when you both first started and shared the growth every month. Also, glad you are going over this because we are looking at that and found that that rule that you have to have worked within 5 years of claiming it without your amount changing for the worse. Many F.I.R.E enthusiast don't mention that. That made us think about what age we would start to withdraw from our SS and figured with the time we are going to F.I.R.E we would take ours at 62 yrs old. Then, we found we can only get income from 401K, Roth, Dividends, Interest, or annuity. That meant we couldn't sell off stocks without it being considered income and Social Security would be reduced until we are 67 years old if we decided to sell our stocks. We were so happy we were getting income from our dividend stocks and ETFs.

    @randolphh8005 7 месяцев назад +1

    Nice summary for a young one! You sound like you have a pretty good handle on this.
    Not sure if I heard you right, but the amount shown on your statement are in current dollars, (with the adjustment for future earnings)Wages are adjusted by the average wage index(AWI). Staring at age 62 it is adjusted by COLA.
    Another fun fact is that Social Security payments are ‘progressive’, there are two “bend points”. The first portion of wages gets the most replaced, the second less, and the last not very much.
    We retired in our early 60’s, Social Security for the both of us will approach $7000/month when I claim at 70. So actually quite a bit of money.
    For people in your generation, count on some cuts!

Reaching financial freedom and retiring early is my goal. Been investing 10% of my salary in the S&P 500 into a 401k account, Investing another 10% in a Roth IRA account which comprise of SCHD, VYMI, and FXAIX Fidelity 500 and another 5 % in an emergency Fund. Finally another 10% Tithe for God's kingdom cuz I'm a Christian and I believe in the principles of sowing and reaping🙏
