    Most people alive today will never be able to retire.
    Almost half of all Americans report having no dedicated retirement accounts at all, and rising living costs means that millennials will need more than a million dollars saved to retire comfortably. It’s a bleak outlook for most people who will probably be working in some capacity until the day they die.
    But there are people with enough money to live several lifetimes in extreme luxury without ever needing to work again… and yet they still chose to work, even at the expense of their health, their family life and worst of all… their own net worth…
    So what is stopping so many billionaires from retiring? According to Bloomberg, the average age of a global billionaire is now 63 years old, and it’s slowly getting older every year, as wealthy people live longer and longer lives. Male billionaires are slightly older at 63.7 years and female billionaires are on average 62.4 years old.
    Female billionaires have a longer life expectancy than male billionaires but they still trend younger because several have been the beneficiary of an inherited estate or divorce settlement at a younger age. Forbes has also now reported that there are NO billionaires under the age of 30 that are self made… all of them have inherited their wealth.
    As billionaires are getting older and richer, an ever increasing number of them are also working well into their twilight years. You might think that they are just obsessed with accumulating more wealth. The mental state of billionaires who just need more is a factor that we will get to soon, but for some of them, they would actually be even richer if they took a step back and just enjoyed their wealth.
    So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out the three reasons why billionaires refuse to retire.

      So much of the information you said is so off the mark its kind of insane. For starters its not even proven if there is a billionaire under the age of 40. The lie and yes blatant lie that women live longer is unknown why people keep spewing this blatant bullshit. It was never proven true and has been a blatant lie that was proven beyond false before it was even claimed. Also Trump is not a billionaire he in reality is a trillionaire. To start the company that claims he is now only worth $4 billion is lying their asses off to attempt to steal his buildings and wealth. Going off the land value not the buildings or anything else on the property just the land of Trump's main home in Florida is worth at least $3,204,000,000 because in 2023 there were 2 land sales with no property on them that sold right next next to his property and one connecting to his property and 1 was 1/3 of an acre that sold for $60,000,000 and the other was 1 acre and it sold for $180,000,000. Trump's land of just his home is 17.8 acres making it worth at least $3,204,000,000. Here is another fucking lie that Democrats keep lying about and that is his sky scrappers in New York City are each at least $100,000,000,000 to the main Trump Tower in New York City going off how much each sky scrapper in the world that is about as tall as it well its closer to $500 billion to $700 billion because that main tower is actually the 3rd to 2nd tallest building in New York City and within the top 25 tallest buildings in the entire world and one of the only 46 buildings out of the 83 built that are taller than The Great Pyramid of Giza and that is just the property and none of the wealth inside the property. Trump actually owns his own private military. North Star Security which is the single largest and most powerful private army in the world and it actually owns 5 of the 57 aircraft carriers that exist and it has a full Navy, full army, and full air force and even has satellites of its own. Trump also owns the company that deals with developing communication systems for military, ambulance, fire department, police, and all emergency systems around the world. To call Trump a billionaire is a blatant lie for to give a more closer ranking of how much he is worth its closer to $300 trillionaire. All the buildings, land, wealth items, big fucking boats, ships bigger than you can realize, air crafts, military bases, the fact that Trump's home has the only useable Imperial Palace Grade Ball Room and the only 2 others in the world that exist is the place that the Chinese government uses for its votes but does not get used for anything else and has no parties at all and is only used by the Chinese government only, the only other one is owned by the Prince of Saudi Arabia to store his vehicles and has not had any parties in it for about 700 years. The last Imperial Palace Grade Ball Room ever used burned to the ground over 300 years ago and was owned by the Royal family of England and was connected to Buckingham Palace. Yea having that item is a huge wealth increase because the only other 2 that exist are valued at $2 to $15 trillion and they are not even in use yet Trump's is. Having a usable one increases them insanely much especially because none has not had the ability to be in use for hundreds of years and its why its kind of nearly constantly in use and contracts of use have been well requested of Trump to allow it to be used for leaders become the leaders of their countries, mega corporation parties, hell the place has a contract with the Christian religion to have the pope has his inauguration party for the next 700 to 800 years at that ball room. Yea so if you want to rent that ball room there is a near solid wait of over 200 years. Having a ballroom like that is legit worth over $100 trillion. Yea Trump is not billionaire poor he is hundreds of trillionaires rich. There are more people that are trillionaires than you might ever realize. The wage disparity is even realer than people realize and screwed up reality its because of the old extreme rich who still control the world and keep making the lives of everyone else suffer because of their super greed. When the baby boomers die off then its when people can well begin to repair the unholy damage caused by the baby boomers rich and poor. The baby boomer generation has in fact destroyed the world economically. They stole the wealth of all other generations and in such amounts that no one can survive. When they die off the world will start to recover the problem is they make up over 6 billion of the 8 billion people on the planet. Less than 2 billion people alive of a all non baby boomer generations which includes the older than baby boomer generations and the younger than baby boomer generations.

      They often work in spending 5% of their net worth as a charity to look good. As much as Gates is an asshole, his charity actually does a significant amount of good in the world. He screwed taking money from shady people (Epstein was also trying to whitewash his horribleness, though he was far worse than gates) but overall, it keeps them busy and they aim to look good in the long term.

      Loneliness is a state of mind and emotion of feeling isolated. Just because you are surrounded by people means you won't feel lonely. The lack of personal deep connections is what causes loneliness. Only when you have something that gulfills you and makes you feel content is when you won't feel lonely even if you are physically alone. Of course finding what gives you such fulfillment is another thing you will have to do in your own way.

      You dont have to be rich or a billionaire to feel that. Theres homeless people that feel like that, theres working and middle class people that already feel like that. The philosophical ideas like nihilism and existentialism came about because regular everyday people felt this way.
      One of the most common things i get asked when a when religious or spiritual person finds out that im atheist is, "so what do you believe we are here for". See, most people never really think about this to begin with and or they gloss over it with "gods plan". But if someone gets introduced to these types of ideas, it often causes a depression

Jesus said those words after Peter scolded him for talking about his own death (Peter valued earthly life to the point of essentially telling Jesus not to save humanity...though he didn't know that's what he was asking for). If you look at the full context, Jesus concludes, "For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

    I knew people who would arrive early and stay late at their $80k/year jobs because they hated their spouses and children. Work was the place they could excrete the toxicity they cultivated and absorbed at home. Work from home would never work for them because their home is their prison. How F-ed up is that? We truly are the architects of our own misery.

      I work for the federal government, and there was someone like that at one of our offices (not at mine, it was one of our offices in a different state). Minus the excreting toxicity at work thing you mentioned. Anyway, this guy was working until way past retirement age. It was because he couldn't stand his wife. Being at work was his was to escape from his spouse. He was forced to retire at age 75, because it got to the point where he wasn't actually doing any work anymore, he would just come in and sleep. Speaking as someone who is single, I do not understand why anyone would marry or stay married to someone they can't stand. The whole situation can be avoided in the first place by being extremely picky about your partner.

He liked the lifestyle she afforded him though. He hated her guts but would pretend to "love his job" while having affairs with women from other departments and using the money from the job to buy them expensive presents. Well, she found out and divorced him. He had to bum rides off his girlfriends for a while because he didn't even own his own car.

There is a guy in my office who is a little bit like your former co-worker, except for the having affairs thing. So, anyway, this guy's wife makes far more money than he does. This allows him a luxuries like BMW's that a typical federal employee could not afford. He can't stand his wife, but stays married because he doesn't want to give up the toys. He takes it out on people at work, though. Like he spreads gossip and fake rumors about me, and tattles to supervisors like he's a five year old. I avoid him as much as I can. Which in the past few years has become much easier, because our jobs switched to mostly work at home.

    I'm 55. I've noticed that when people older than me in family stopped working they went into a steep cognitive decline. Even working a part time job has the ability to keep older people focused and active in the world. My Mom retired at 65 and immediately entered the world of conspiracy theory emails circulated among retired women and endless telephone scams. My father, by contrast continued to work part time jobs until he was 89, then went into a decline and died 4 years later. Meanwhile Mom is still in a fog in an assisted living facility and completely broke from being the victim of so many scams. So I guess I'd rather stay active in the business world, whether I need the money or not.

If you have a plan of what you're going to do though to fill your time, volunteer work, hobbies, clubs, lunch and dinner dates with friends/family, you will be just fine!

    I think you discount one potential option. Purpose. Some people believe they were destined to do that which they’re the best at. What would 90 year old Warren Buffett do with his time? He sees running Berkshire as his life’s work. His purpose for living. Not everyone wants to spend every day waking up at 11 am on a beach and drink Mai tais until after dinner for years on end. Some people find purpose in their work. You can disagree with that, you can think it’s dumb. But it’s a very plausible explanation for why successful people continue to do the things they love, long after they don’t need to anymore.

    It was like this for many of the Great Depression generation. Many of them continued to live extremely frugally in their retirement, even though they had tons of money saved away. Many people didn’t realize how wealthy these people were until they died and left a sizable inheritance behind! Habits you learn when you are young often follow you into old age.

    Another great video, thanks! I think the market is over-heated. And I am concerned that people are focusing less on fundamentals and just chanting the mantra of dollar cost averaging and driving the market higher without considering fundamentals. It is a catch-22 for me. I mean I like stock prices going higher but I also hate buying over-priced stocks and ETFs. Personally, I have stopped buying growth ETFs- they are ridiculously over-valued. Dividend stocks and ETFs are a little better but they are still over-valued. There is some hope with small and mid caps. I am not sure they are undervalued but at least they are less over-valued..This pattern offers a valuable insight for strategic planning. Despite these trends, i have delve deeply into active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months...

    As J.K. Galbraith pointed out, there are many different kinds of 'work.' Yet, conversations about 'work' never seem to bother with this inconvenient fact. So the 'work' that is done by those on the top of the wealth rung is not nearly as demanding as that done at the bottom, where work is mostly debilitating, exhausting, or physically destructive. The 'work that billionaires do, in large part, consists in traveling (in private jets and boats), meeting (in luxury accommodations), watching a computer screens (in pleasant , luxurious surroundings, with mandatory supplicants and servants), etc.
    This is the kind of 'work' that virtually ANYONE could do! You don't even have to be smart, just compulsive and ruthless.

I'm in academics right now, and it's very common to see professors work well into their 70s or even 80s before retiring (with a reduced workload of course). It's not because they need to keep working or don't know what else to do with their life, but because that IS their life. It's their passion. Why would you quit doing your favourite thing just because everyone else expects you to?

      Check out fidelity or some other investments if you want to. Otherwise, cd's from the bank are a reliable way to continuously earn interest. Just beware the different versions, retirement savings, like an ira, have specific requirements, and because of such, can and should be only accessed when: your around 50 years old and have had the account for over 6 years. Otherwise you get taxed in addition to a 10% penalty. Cd's roll over and can only be accessed at certain times, such as the end of the roll over unless your willing to pay severe penalties.
      Finally, regular investment accounts in stuff like fidelity, if invested a certain amount of years without any withdrawals, will get you lower tax deductions when you actually need to take it out.
      All in all, there are plenty of options available. The one thing people mention in relation to this is inflation. Inflation slowly kills the value of your money. Spending it somewhere along these lines helps stabilize it, if invested in a stable place like for me, the snp 500, or, the more risky spy which copies the snp over stocks.

    The point about passive investing is quite well made. It's one reason why I imagine those who inherit their wealth probably have quite a different mindset. Once a family has accumulated enough wealth, so long as members are financially responsible (which it is easier to be when you are raised that way, never have to rely on credit and have financial advisors) and the family doesn't have so many kids the wealth is diluted, then it's straightforward to stay rich and get richer. And the wealthier you get, the harder it is for spending to make a bent in yearly returns.
    I would imagine declining fertility rates probably do encourage wealthy dynasties to maintain their wealth for that reason, although I'm not actually sure how fertility rates break down by socio-economic status within countries - I think there's some evidence the very wealthy have somewhat higher fertility than the middle classes.

    Australians get 12% of their Salary quarantined into a retirement fund called Superannuation, and it's been that way since 1992. Goes with every job you have, even teenage casual positions. Mostly you can't withdraw it, but it is your money, and you've a wide range of options in how it should be invested, and which company you choose to invest it with. When you apply for a job, they don't advertise the compulsory Super in the ad. So if it's a job for $100k, you'll actually receive $112k. It also means there's a large pool of money to invest in Australian projects. I think it's a good system, but you're screwed if you're not working, because no Taxpayers will be interested in supporting you once you're old if you haven't looked after it.

A billionaire doesn't do the dirty work like put up with customer complaints, tech issues, or fudging through files. Meanwhile, an ordinary worker doesn't have any sway within the company, and isn't allowed to contribute any new ideas or creativity into the company.
    A CEO can make the role exactly what they want it to be, while the worker is beholden to whatever the CEO wants. Through all of the jobs I've worked, I've learned that mundane work is much, much more draining than the exciting work.

I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

      Amber Dawn Brummit is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

    There's no such thing as self-made, it is a misnomer. Everyone has support (e.g parents, teachers, neighbors, colleagues, mentors, and or even strangers, etc.) along the way which cumulatively leads to one's overall success. We are the sum of our experiences and should not overlook the support we receive along the way.

    “Self-Made” meaning people like Musk, who was able to start his business thanks to his family’s money. Most of those billionaires haven’t needed to work a day in their lives.

      I think to combat the negative effect of inflation, it's a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, cryptos and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation.

    if their work involves overseas travel in business class, being chauffeured everywhere, long lunches, playing golf and meeting interesting and important people with similar high status, then what attractions could retirement possibly offer. Having other people work for them is a form of retirement and they can take time off whenever they like - no need to punch the clock or sign in.
