    Thank you. Just what I needed to watch.
    My wife and I are directors of our farm business and own property, plus small pensions. I am nearly 55, my wife is 52.
    We have started to save to retire from the farm, and possibly live on rental income, I'd really appreciate you go LIVE and talk about how to earn passive income online and retire comfortably, let’s say $1M.

      It isn’t about how much you save, it’s about how you manage your money. Whether you work to earn income or invest, it still boils down to income vs expenses, so yeah you may look into financial advisors for a strategy that suits your timing.

    I just turned 64 and I am basically retired. I have been involved in bicycling most of my life. So, my main One thing is owning a bicycle shop. I own the building (paid off). My hours at the shop is only 28 hours per week. It helps me to stay engaged with people…. But not too much. I am also learning to play the guitar. What a great activity. Cheers!

    Schmidt's "one thing" for retirement helps take the place of your years of a work environment that absorbed much of your time, body and mind. Many people need to now be their own boss and managers hopefully with both recreational and productive physical and mental absorption payoffs in life.

    I just want to mention one major reason that I don't want to rent is having an HOA (homeowner association). For that matter I'd never live in a community that has an HOA. My husband and I used to live in a condo managed by an HOA. At first we thought it would be great for someone else to take care of landscaping, fixing something that breaks, etc. But eventually the fees increased to a ridiculously high amount of money. They had the freedom to raise our rates way too high just because they could. We moved into home ownership and paid a lot less each month for maintenance. Thanks for doing these videos!

    I’m retiring to Delaware because I have family there. Benefit is low property taxes. I moving into a gated community that has a ton of activities, beautiful club house, etc. While it is pricy, my need to engage with others is critical, since I am single and childless. The entire reason for 55 plus communities is to combat isolation in retirement. I’ve lived in one for 18 years and the best thing I ever did. I am looking forward to the move and riding my bike everyday to the bay. Cheers!

    3 years ago when I turned 59, I started to look at retirement and honestly I was scared as crap. I didn’t know how to begin, I didn’t think I would ever be able to do it, I felt like I was resigned to having to work until I was 90. I started to search RUclips for ideas on how to retire. That’s when I came across your channel, and I’ve been following you for a couple years now and have to say you are definitely helping my confidence grow. I turn 63 this year and after watching your videos, I am starting to believe that I will be able to retire at 66 1/2. Because of your guidance I have been able to increase my 401K savings as well as prioritizing a decrease in my spending. I am definitely going to download your retirement checklist for more reference. I just wanted to use this opportunity to reach out to you and say thanks for your informational videos. I think they are the best videos out there for someone who, like me, is afraid or even just unaware of whether they can retire or even how to retire.

    I find your videos to be some of the best on RUclips. I get so tired of people yelling at me to buy 'merch' or thinking the louder they speak the more important their video. You tend to simply present information and I am very grateful for that.
    I do have a topic that I wonder if you might cover in depth - reverse mortgages. I've only read and seen all the reasons not to use one but there must be some scenarios where they make sense for some retirees. I have an 87 year young woman friend who is about close on a reverse mortgage and after a LOT of thought she is thrilled about her future again. Again curious about an in depth analysis without the obligatory negative take on RM's. Again thank you for the great content.

Through my employer, I have a pension, an HSA and a 457B. I believe they each have different tax benefits and different RMDs. We are planning on retiring at 62 him in 2033 and me in 2036.

    Geoff, excellent video as always. In retirement, your expenses actually stabilize, and you can plan better for the future and (if you are in a position to) leave a legacy. What often happens is that people have more time than money and are constrained to their immediate surroundings and family/friends. As you point out, that is why you want to build good relationships, as these are the people you will mostly interact with. I retired at 57 (now 4+ years) and interact with far more people in retirement than when I worked. I also have time to help family and friends. It has been a refreshing and rewarding experience for me to date. I tell people that when you are on your deathbed, you won't regret working overtime!

    You said throwing away what you don't need was a good way to get organized for retirement. It's better to sell and donate. There are so many online buyers for books, CDs, etc. You can fill a box, print a label and get tax free income from the process of decluttering. And, with all the ways to sell online, you can create a stream of income from the process for an extended period.

You need balance in your planning. I retired two years ago-am in good shape. I most likely over plan, but I have a budget and generally stick to it. And that budget is flexible and variable.

    Lot's to digest because I want to early retire with a seasonal tax/accounting job. I need to flip the script. Start with clarity, health and purpose. Choose to be happy, now. There's nothing wrong with living frugally by not wasting money on things you don't need, yes marginal utility. I would add and end with: live the life you never need to retire from.
    This is what I have culled, as well, from your videos and redigested.

    Should we buy a second home as an investment? Our daughter is in college and would live there for 5 years and rent out the other 2 bedrooms. We live several states away so that is one issue. She is comfortable being in charge if issues come up. We could use all of our cash to buy it for $230,000, or we could use some of our cash and a mortgage to have more liquidity. We have a total of $600,000 of savings. Less than half is in stocks, so so want to convert our cash, gold and silver to RE. We have no debts. My background is finance and real estate and my husband worked as a home inspector at one time. I’m still working and my husband retired last week. We have 2 small pensions and are fine as far as far as cash flowing. The investment is mostly to not have our money not sitting as cash but put it into something a little more safe.

I am 59 and plan to take early social security. My pension covers everything and we will not need to touch my supplemental investments. Therefore, we want the early social security (less money, but we want it while we are younger and more active). I have watched dozens of your videos.

My mother is near 80 and doing fine, but she's watching many of her widowed friends struggle financially. If women plan based on averages, then aren't we under-planning for our life spans?

Gardening or camping (to pick two common activities) probably don't qualify as adventure or rock&rolla but I did not delve into the latter much before so I will probably be quite content with hiking (or simply being with my dog) in nearby woods while I dream about some faraway adventure. Being outside as much as possible however seems to be a common thread for me through all of these categories.

    Between #2 and #3: Build good habits. Note: Not only for retirement! Take excellent care of yourself so that you can enjoy your retirement for many years. They don't have to be big habits. Karma is the result of thousands of small actions that you've taken. Some habits. Take the time to take three small breaths. Meditate for five minutes. Go for a walk after in your neighborhood after dinner.

    Recently found you. So happy. I had to retire year I turned 55. 3!years ago. As for finding a hobby I would say try a few different things until you find what you love. I discovered sewing and embroidery after trying pottery and a few other things. I inherited my moms stash and that got me started. I need tips on spending less. I think I am an emotional spender and I need to curb it. Started asking myself is this more important than your best egg. Are you willing to take money out for this. I also think I suffer from scarcity. Scared of running out of money I am on disability so I do have that as well. The tax thing but me but I am square on it now. Appreciate your advice. I already was doing a lot of it thankfully

    Half my family members told me to sell my house on several occasions glad I never listened to them my home has been a huge financial blessing because I did not listen to those who gave me poor financial advice.... my credit score on a regular basis is over 800.... financially I'm doing fantastic and it has to do with seeking advice from great sources and being disciplined ....Frugal not cheap but Frugal and being patient with yourself. ( buy what you need keep wants to a minimum)....taking care of what you have ......work. Smarthard don't be wasteful ....being kind and generous to people that are truly in need.... and everything falls right into its place.

    One area that I am struggling to find information about is the potential differences between getting a mortgage for my retirement home while still working, or waiting until after I stop. Do mortgage lenders provide favorable rates to borrowers with solid work income that are not available to folks who have already retired? We have liquid assets that far exceed the value of our planned retirement home, but the math indicates that we should still finance the new place while we sell the old one, and then delay paying off the entire loan until we reach full retirement age. So, we have our current home with a mortgage, plan to get a mortgage on the new home, sell the current home and roll the equity into the new loan, and then make payments for several years. The bottom line question is, do we have to find the new place and get it financed BEFORE I retire, or can I resign and then start looking with the knowledge that we have cash in our 401K and other sources that could cover the full cost of the new place and would provide income inline with what I make at work?
    A video on downsizing or otherwise changing homes at retirement, with all of the financing implications, would be very welcome.

      A lender looks at your income and assets and your debt. It doesn’t matter where your income is from. can be SS, pension, 401k, etc.
      My dad is 82 and has bought 2 homes since retiring. In fact, just closed on their old house yesterday. One house he bought with a mortgage at 70 yrs old, then sold it at 76 yrs old, then this house was bought and paid off, then they bought this new house and paid for it outright, and now sold the other house.
      In your scenario, they will look at if you can cover both mortgages with your income/assets.

Could you make a video on the best ways to plan monitizing IRAs and 401Ks in retirement please. I'm in various stock and bond funds and a 2025 mixed fund. My plans don't seem to have post retirement funds. Any help would be greatly appreciated :) Thank you.

    Number 2 You may not understand this. But Jeff Bill Musky all fit this problem not mentioned. Jeff likely will repeat this about time of his maximum retirement age if he keeps doing who he is doing. So where is a budget I can print out that you like. My budget and it always works. Make $3 spend $2. Know need to balance a checkbook and I never do. Only check balance and see about buying some stock or bond something like that. I got Quicken it would make a good budget, maybe. That's if a can think to add all those expenses and add it to list that I just pay. I put in few numbers so program would leave me alone years ago. And I just looked at it Quicken not really looking forward to adding lines to budget. There seems be know fix for half of number 2 sadly enough!

    I'd love to hear your advice on when to start collecting Social Security when the husband is 8 years younger than his wife and also the main breadwinner. Should we pull from our savings first and then start collecting social security at a later age...or start collecting social security at 62 and use savings to supplement. Our consideration is the wife will be receiving half of the husbands social security, so it's two people to consider. Our initial plan seems to be use savings until it's gone and delay collecting social security until age 70 for hubby. (Wife will be 78) if possible. Our situation is unique because of our age difference and main earner is younger.

    yeah, in Colorado, property taxes are doubling, County raise the value of my house $175,000, i fought back, they wanted to raise it $250,000... and the State of Colorado Congress, run by Lawyers, wants County's to raise property taxes, are County by 49% next year, are insurance $2,220 more a year, last month, with the Lawyers and Roofers doing this rip off now, that's why Insurance Company's are leaving some States... talked to one guy about it, while trimming my tree, his In-laws are selling there house for those reason, and of course, those things rising, lower the value of house... wanted to sell, when prices were ridiculous the year before, but the wife didn't want to, she is still working, and she wished she would have retried before, now, when we could have gotten a lot more for the house... so i figured we lost about a $100,000 or more, when we sell in a year or so, and not what the County said it's worth either... and less money, when we move next to the kids... Timing!!! The way things look, because of Inflation, the wife might have to work another 3 years... part of that reason, is the Lawyers and the Roofers, wanting $43,000, for a $18,000 job... the insurance company is threating to Deny are Claim... Use the Insurance Company's list of roofers... or tell the Roofer, before you signing anything, give me an Estimate, and give it to the Insurance company first... never had this problem before, with 2 roofs... that Lawyers for you, when they stick their hands in it... it started in Florida... $50,000 roofing jobs... and they won't change the State Laws, because Lawyers are the ones in the State Congress's... Careful !!!!

    The key to happy retirement is organization to better anticipate. My life style is different than perhaps the majority of your viewers so my priorities differ. I retired at 59 with only a small pension to lean on and one rental property. Needles to say if I didn't own my home I'd been hard up. The difference with Me is that I saw the investment community that held on to my funds ( I had a very conservative portfolio with bond and tbills- you get the picture. Scared to lose a dime) as using my money as lenders or investors as the interest on my money stagnated or went down. My philosophy from then on was to give each year a value, the older i got the more money I was entitled to spend with out going to far below a set amount in my retirement funds. I borrowed against my retirement at a modest interest, 3 % , used the money to purchase a retirement condo in another country with a lower cost of living. I e paid myself back tax free ( for the most part, I went over a few years in earnings but not enough to make my SS taxable. Then I made other purchases using low interest loans ( no lower than 1.95 and no higher than 3. 95% all fixed .) This was necessary for items that though I had in my homestead were necessary for the condo. A car was also a needed for touring the beaches. In all I feel like I loaded everything upfront while I am healthy enough to enjoy them and in just an other 4 years they are all paid for and my liquidty is intact for the rest of my life. I hope this makes sense.

    Didn't hear the word "budget" in there, anywhere. In fact, you never seem to mention it in any of your videos and a budget is, 100%, without a doubt, THE most important thing in any kind of financial planning, retirement or otherwise. I will also mention that your presentations seem to be targeted at a certain demographic; those with an excess of means. At first I was very interested in this video, because you underlined living "Well" in retirement. Living well, but still living below your means, is one of the main keys to a secure and sustainable retirement. While not very sexy, it's what should be emphasized before any of the other useful information you provided.

This item premiums have sky rocketed reecently and insurance companies have bet wrong on the policies and now are in a predatory state hoping to get policy holders off the plans. Good policies will run thousands of dollars a year for retirees. How do you figure this into you first item.
