People who are able to retire early are lucky . I have 15 months till 65 and need to look at calling it quits, my only fear is running out of funds much later, thus keen on investing. What could be the safest possible ways to invest for cashflow, in order to afford lifestyle after retirement?
That's right. I am a wife, mother of four and new grandmother, 28 years in Corporate America, retired recently at 57 after discovering the freedom investing could provide, been contributing to my portfolio since the pandemic in early 2020, and have grown a $250,000 savings account to almost 1 million, credits to my investment advisor.
My CFA ’Annette Christine Conte’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Overall, 60% of traders think this year would favor stocks, mutual funds, and other equity-based investments, despite Treasury yields and other safer cash-like investments paying big. I’m looking for opportunities in the market that could fetch me $1m ahead of retirement by 2025.
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience. If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
@@JeffreysSuttons I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $480k in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth. It's not only about having money to invest in stocks; you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent and have strong hands to back it up.
@@RobertsArthurs How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional who helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
@@WaleraSchildhauer MARGARET MOLLI ALVEY is a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and is a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.
More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
More reason I enjoy my day to day market decisions is that i'm being guided by a portfolio-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time, both employing profit-oriented strategy and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downtrends, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis, it's quite impossible not to

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.

I'm 53, about to retire :) I could (and should) have retired three years ago as I had the money, but like you said, there was this irrational fear of giving up work! Recently, I changed jobs, wasn't planned but an opportunity came up, but it's not working out, and this has given me the kick I needed to just quit working.
@bitcoinenergy1 What about if you throw bitcoin into the mix ? No one who has held bitcoin for the 4 year cycle has ever lost any money. In fact if you price property in bitcoin everything gets cheaper every four years. How ? because bitcoin unlike the pound is fixed in its supply and the purchasing power gets stronger every four years. For example a house you want to buy today will be cheaper in four years in bitcoin terms. This is why all the leading asset managers are buying and holding bitcoin. Even business are adopting bitcoin to gain competitive advantage. Why and How ? Lets say cashback for example. If you were to offer a customer 5% cashback and give it to them in bitcoin instead of pounds the cashback to them would increaes in value in four years. Hence the 5 pounds given to them in bitcoin would probably be worth 15 to twenty pound in four years. Am I selling bitcoin ? No I just teach other entrepreneures how it works. No spamming or emails. Just some food for thought. You can subscribe to my channel if you wish to learn about bitcoin, Thats it. Tony.
The healthcare cost was a big obstacle for me, but Covered California turned out to be pretty reasonable. Another thing that hung me up was the 4% rule, which wasn't quite enough for my living expenses and healthcare. Once I discovered the 5% rule (Guyton's Guardrails), the numbers finally worked out, and I was able to retire.
Do you just have investments like 401K and stocks? Are you in a high cost of living area if you are in CA? It's got to be hard in CA just with the taxes.
@@TheRetirementality Yes I live in San Clemente, California and the taxes here suck. But, I'm able to live a pretty frugal living and pay less taxes, because my house is paid off and property taxes are reasonable. Insurance went way up and so has food and entertainment, so that hurts a bit.
We were able to retire from our 9-5 jobs at 28. By far the best decision we made and now can enjoy life in our youth. There are challenges of course, but there our challenges for our business not someone else's. Our net worth also continues to grow because we can focus on that instead of making another company (Your Job) grow.
I retired super early at age 30. I haven't worked a job since. I now set my own terms for living, and make money with my investments and the joy of being a consultant. I travel the world, and could y be happier! Don't be hatin'. Look for ways to escape the Matrix - you can do this, but not with conventional thinking.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Gloria Robinson
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, i'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
Depending on investments to make money in the future to finance your retirement is equivalent to counting your chickens before they hatch. Also try finding a decent job when you’re older. Inflation, taxes, medical expenses, insurance, market crashes, major home repair or expensive life event can put you in a very bad place. The Pollyanna effect doesn’t serve you well in something as critical as retiring. You better have it right the first time. Once you’re unemployed you are ostracized by employers. Your network will abandon you. Poverty and old age is the most miserable situation to be in.
Yea, I guess that depends on your set of skills if you need to re-enter the workforce. I've always been in sales so I can find some kind of job if I ever needed to. But, my income comes from rental properties and I have more than one of expenses in cash. So as long as you have a good runway you have time to make moves.
I agree with most of the money discussion and people delaying retirement longer than they need to. We both retired at 63, 2 years apart. Both worked part time for a couple years before retiring. We just don’t “need’ as much money as we thought we would now that we retired. I don’t agree at all about the not liking my job discussion. That is completely silly. My wife and I both liked our careers. We would do it all over again. I would never want to spend my whole life “retired”. We had a lot of good times. We traveled a lot. Everything in life is a bit of an equation and a compromise. There is no perfect lifestyle. Now that we are retired, we are not bored, but I can see that it could happen. Retirement requires more self motivation, which hasn’t been a problem for us. We also have a good relationship and mostly similar interests. I watched both our fathers get bored. It can be a real thing. I would be careful about assuming other people think the same. Some will, some won’t. Same for what people like. It makes a lot more sense to say “if you think you might get bored, here are some ways to address it or figure out if it’s a real risk”
Congrats on retiring at 63. Its sooner than most people get to do. Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I understand that a lot of people like their jobs, myself included. My point was just that no matter how much you like your job, you don't have freedom to do what you want. The point that I make over and over on this channel is that the most important thing about retirement is that you need to know what you want your retirement to look like. That means figuring out what you are retiring to, not just what you are retiring from. This is the best way to ensure you won't be bored. Some people just retire with no plan, and this is when you could get bored.
Yea, once you "retire" if you can show a small income on your taxes you can get obama care for a couple of hundred bucks a month. But if something happens you and you need care, you could be $15-20K out of pocket.
And you can retire with less $$ when you live intentionally and frugally.There are a lot of things to experience that are free or low cost.ask for that senior discount on everything you buy and do(car insurance phone service, property taxes ..)
@@TheRetirementality obamacare is not a viable option if you have had medical issues in the past (due to extremely high deductibles). One relapse could wipe you out. In other countries you can sometimes retire, but not in the US.
@@bradtrades Yea, just the out of pocket money is a big deal for most people if you have a problem. We are looking at exiting the US. Stay tuned for more videos on this topic.
Just saw an article from Blackrock CEO saying that people should work past 65 yrs of age. 😂 We will retire well before the 'normal' retirement age. It's all about mindset to fund future fixed expenses, overshoot a bit on your savings just in case if you are nervous about running out of money.
I guess if you have people giving you half of their income to save for retirement, you want them working as long as possible. I can't believe they said that out loud though. The closer you get to that actual retirement day, the more you keep thinking "maybe a little more... just in case". That is the hard part.
I think the blackrock ceo mentioned this in relation to keeping social security sustainable. As life expectancy has gone up, the age at which social security starts also must be adjusted to prevent the system falling apart.
@@Pieter2360 If they talk about raising the age of SS in France they protest in the streets. If they talk about it in the US we just go "oh well, we knew this would happen anyway". I don't think its a life expectancy thing, more like "we spent all the money thing".
It’s because all the older politicians and c-suite level execs for these companies are still working till their deathbeds. They don’t want to be the only older people working. 😂
You tube reenforces why I can’t retire. I am only capable of making money at my job. Terrible at any kind of side hustle like you tube. I am trying but doing badly with it because I want to retire soon. I am 67. The only thing saving me is that I bought a rental property in 1985 that I can use for some side income. So just saying retire first and then ask questions might not work for a lot of people.
Maybe you can use some equity from the rental to buy another one? Or maybe you can reduce spending? Get a raise at work? Most side hustles aren't going to get there. You need to make bigger changes. I've been doing youtube for like 4 years now and barely make any money. I'm not doing this for the money.
That is very true. But, I get to do it when I want, and it's still fun for me. That's why I didn't put out a video for two weeks when we had our friends in town. Also... I'm not sure if it counts as work since I get paid about $0.40 an hour for this job. 😂
