    The high prices have affected my retirement plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and build my savings. I worry that those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis faced fewer challenges than I do now. The stock market's volatility, combined with a reduced income, makes me anxious about having enough for retirement.

    • @BateserJoanne
      @BateserJoanne 25 дней назад +1

      The retirement crisis will worsen because many can't save due to low wages, inflation, and high rent. Investing in stocks with a good strategy can help, but it's important to be cautious. I advise you to get a financial advisor for guidance on entry and exit points.

      If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.

I put the house in a land trust for my children, which he did not want to sign. If anything happened to me, he would be able to live there until he died then the property would go to my children. He did not like that and wanted to know what would happen to his children. I told him he should have provided for his children.

      Same, although 53 now. If anything, I wish I started in my teens or early 20's, and I wish I saved more than $50 a week when I started saving. Either way, I don't regret saving for retirement at a fairly young age.
      With that said, back then pensions were much more common (but ending, I missed that boat) and SS looked solid, so it was fairly rare for a 20 something to be thinking about retirement. This is why Gen X will likely be screwed (post pensions and 401k/IRA was pretty new and not to prevalent). The millennials and today's younger generations generally don't have pensions and know not to expect a healthy SS system, so it's much more common for them to start early... Which they will be grateful later for doing. That's assuming our gov doesn't completely sink our financial system!

    I’m all for the prenup if that makes you comfortable but if you’re not going to work together to ensure that you spouse- the person you want to stick with through thick and thin- feels supported then don’t get married.

      if you want to go in a fancy vacation and he don't have the money, you can pay for both or pay a bigger ratio.
      you don't split the money in half if you make 3 times more than him, so he/she can spend as he/she wish.

      Maybe I worded it backwards, I meant to say his channel helps people of all ages. I am saying as a whole, the RUclips finance section seems to be directed towards people of younger generations. It's a bunch of young people telling you how to make money while they are 23 and single with no kids or a mortgage and can afford to take a risk a lot easier. These youtubers some how come up with money and they don't really tell you how they actually got it, I am an electrician working crazy hours trying to make ends meet while going home and making videos after work, I am kind of an "average Joe" that is making videos for fun trying to show everyone that you don't have to be rich to be financially successful. They never talk about the person in their 40's with 3 kids and a mortgage trying to figure out how to better himself/herself and their family. This channel does, and I meant to say that in my comment. I just wish these other young youtubers , would incorporate or talk directly to the older generations needing advice and help instead of just directing their entire focus towards the younger generations.

    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.

      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 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.

    Dave is right, max your retirement(s), including the catch up amounts available after your turn 50. For those who are reading and over 50, know what your catch up amount is. It is dependent on the kind of account you have (401k, Roth, SEP, etc)

    I'm sorry. If new wife has kids and she dies first, kids should get house. Period. Would be the same way if _he_ had the house and she was moving in with him. Of course, the right thing to do would be to give the surviving spouse a "life estate", so s/he can live there for the duration of their life but can't sell or pass to heirs.

    • @mikebetts2046
      @mikebetts2046 3 года назад +4

      Why must the kids get the house? 'Period' is not a reason. If her kids had major life challenges outside of their control, then perhaps some allowances should be made. But beyond that, they should not be automatically entitled to the house.
      My kids are the most logical heirs to my estate, but should I remarry, I could see some kind of split. If my new wife was not worth that, then why should I bother getting married to her?

    50 yr old divorcee here - 11 years ago went through a divorce and my business failed at the same time, so started over again from scratch. Met a wonderful lady and we bought a house 8 yrs ago. We have separate accounts, my money is mine, hers is hers, we have a joint account we both put money into and that’s where house expenses, groceries, taxes etc comes out of. Folks, no need to combine accounts and no need to get married again, we have common goals and it works for us. Luckily I landed a higher end sales job w company truck, cell phone and bonuses so I’m able to put 20-25% of my income away. Only debt is the mortgage but we’ve fast tracked it - 8 yrs left. Life’s good!
