My numbers are nearly identical to the scenario in your video. I moved to Ecuador to lower my cost of living. But...I also started dividend investing and am now earning ~10% yield on my investments. I'm hoping I can live on dividend income (currently at $57k/year) while reinvesting at least 25% of my dividends so I don't have to sell any securities. I'll also collect SS at 67.
Ecuador is a great country, although there is a bit more violence than before. I am a College Business Professor who spent several Summers teaching (in Spanish) at Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) outside of Quito. I have also done a Fulbright in Guayaquil (ESPOL). In Ecuador, the cost of living is reasonable, the culture is rich, the food is natural and delicious, and the people are warm and friendly. There is a bit of regional rivalry (as in most countries) between the more mountainous region where Quito is located and the coastal region around Guayaquil. So, Ecuador is a great choice. The one drawback I have always felt (in actually dealing with institutions in the nation) is the lack of stability in the government compared to other Latin nations (e.g. Costa Rica, Chile, Panama, and even regions of Mexico). In the long run, this can affect the quality of life. But this can happen anywhere. So "felicitaciones," and enjoy your retirement.
A good friend of mine is from Ecuador but he’s telling me that there is critical crime there now since the drug cartels started running drugs through there.

Since the title of this video is How much income… it would be nice to see at least one scenario solved for max income with little to nothing left for legacy. Thanks for the video, Drew.
I love the deep dive into the numbers as well as defining the actual s and estimating their future growth. Too many YT´rs present a philosophical approach to retirement without backing up the numbers. I don´t need any more personal advice. Until I saw this video I had not given thought to Roth conversions by installment. Makes perfect sense and using a 5 year outlooks allows one to modify their plan as needed. Good job Drew.
We have that much. No bills. Home paid off. Just a car payment. I get 1800 a month in SS and my husband gets 2700 a month. I get a 500 dollar pension payout every month. We are doing great. We take 2000 a month from our IRA- less than 4 percent. We’ve been retired 2 years and after taking that much we still have been making money. I think it depends where you retire. I see at least a couple of small trips a year for us too
I like the scenario. This sounds a lot like where I'll be. Single, debt free already, don't travel much if at all. Annual expenses are close. That 600k a little more then I'm hoping to have in my Roth but i also have a decent pension coming at 60.
I must say, Mr. Blackston, you ROCK! All of the "levers" are explained clearly, even if my non-financial brain needs to watch parts over 2 or 3 times. Thank you.
Great video. A tragedy though that there is no money left for a family legacy. No wonder the future generations are not wealthy. There needs to be far more education earlier concerning financial sustainability.
How much of the $600K is in an IRA or other qualified account? How do RMDs affect cash flow and earnings? Any plan to leave anything for heirs? Why not an income annuity?
In all likelihood the next 10 to 100 years will all be negative years as the 100 year bear finally rolls in to bring the markets back to fair market valuations. The same thing happened in 1929 and 1873 but this time everything is much more overvalued than back then.
Great as always. I believe he will want to spend more per year. Should have been saving some Roth and HSA whilst eating broccoli - work a bit longer and max catch-ups ? . Also should do bigger roll overs if down years I would think? Probably dead at 80 but good to have the longevity insurance. Looking forward to my next call Drew.
Got my wife investing 20% into her 401k with a 2% $1 for $1 match and .50cents for the next %4 she started last year at 40yrs old I plan on brining it up to 25% next year my goal is for her to have over a million when she retires at 67yrs old. She makes $65k a year at the moment.
Between a combination of pfd stocks & MLP pipeline stocks I’ve got about $600k generating ~$110k/yr. I have assets beyond that, but it wasn’t hard to get that level. Otoh I won’t see much price appreciation of those stocks. I treat them like an annuity. I’m still not collecting SocSec, which will contribute about $30k/yr in a few years.
You’re below investment grade to get those yields. Make sure your MLPs are not in tax shelters like IRAs. Tax nightmare if so. Also once in a while like the beginning of the last decade they can plummet. I like your strategy but save big on those returns because yield hounds often get bloody noses. For the record I’m doing some similar things but staying closer to investment grade on most. 6-7% is very doable in Jan ‘24. Good luck to you!
Thank you for having a realistic scenario, most of the time on RUclips I see David is 45 with $8million and no debt….. This was a great video and very helpful.
Research a career that has a full pension guaranteed ie, law enforcement , Federal civil service, municipal , State government positions. My career choice had this in mind and I worked thirty years knowing my pension contributions and my employers contribution would allow me to retire at 57 with a net pension equal to my net earnings while working. Those jobs are out there you need to work hard to get one ie education etc.
I guess a pension can be a great thing if the taxpayers guarantee it at 100 percent, no matter what.. However, that's not always the case. For example, the airline pilots went from retiring with huge pensions to having their pensions dropped on the pension benefits guarantee board.
@@kennethsouthard6042That’s why being a cop or teacher or fireman is the way to go. Guaranteed. Plus one of my 403b choices to invest in at a fixed guaranteed 7% a year. My pension is close to $9K. Retiring next year at 59…
I must be missing something on the last part of the video. I think you said that with Roth conversions (the left side of the screen) he would have over 900k when he died at 100 and on the right side of the screen the scenario is the same except NO Roth conversions he would only have about 300k when he died at 100. That doesn't make any sense since the only difference is moving the money from a tax deferred account to a tax free account and paying the taxes. Yes, there would be some RMDs but in a linear growth calculation you would always have more money if you did NOT do Roth conversions since most of the money is still tax deferred and only subject to tax when it is withdrawn. Also, I assume that is a linear rate of return which is not feasible, does your software not do Monte Carlo? The mean rate of return in a Monte Carlo would be significantly less then the 900k, it would be more like 300k like you had on the right side of the screen. Most of the video sounded good up to that point (missing some stuff but how much can you include in a 20 minute video after all).
These stories always end the same. You have to live on a tight budget through your retirement years plus you have to rely on your social security to even make that work. Any figure you have under 1 million is going to be difficult to stretch over a 25 year retirement.
true, but most of these have you passing on your entire retirement account onto heirs. Would be nice to see if you spent down 75% of your account before death what your monthly income would be. Also less than 1% are going to live an additional 30-40 years in retirement. My sister and I tell my folks to spend it all as it is their money. They are taking trips 3 to 4 times a year plus a ton of weekend getaways.
@@unclenaynaywell that’s ok , to do if you don’t want to help your heirs to be financially free. Not my dream of knowing that my children and grandchildren will HAVE TO BE subjected to the harsh reality that being employed by a company may being . Financial Freedom, but be a productive person for the good of society
You make things way too complicated. Sounds like David needs money for 7 years until Social Security kicks in. 7 x $35k = $245k $600k - $245 = $355k Once Social Security kicks in at 67, David will receive $33,600 annually, plus he still has $355k in retirement savings. That's my simple man calculation. I know I didn't add 5 years of Obama Care, inflation, taxes, fees or interest income, but I think $355,000 will cover those.
I am very surprised that you did not mention healthcare costs. Especially with him needing coverage from 60 until 65. The obama care subsidies work strictly on income. Especially on a single person, if he took that much money every year he would have to pay full price for a decent insurance policy. And we all know cancer and cancer meds can bankrupt you in a hurry. You better have a plan in the event of a healthcare crisis.
And there needs to be a separate class on Medigap policies which, for most people, give much better coverage than Medicare Advantage plans. MA plans often cost less, offer fluffy up-front benefits, but have remarkably higher overhead costs, higher declination rates of claims, and you might get "stuck" with one forever. To leave MA plans, the Medigap plans put policyholders through underwriting, and something as innocuous as basal cell skin cancer makes one an unacceptable risk.
There's one bit of fallacy here. I notice you picked up the optimum here of waiting until 67 to retire and start drawing social security. What if he dies at 67? In this case he gets nothing and the good government says thank you David for giving us your money for some 45 years and have a good day!
It would be nice if he has a work pension on top of the IRA and SS. 8 more years before my MRA(57), and I am aggressively Investing my TSP(500k) right now into C, S & I funds hoping to get 10-15% interest/year. I can't wait. The VA will take care of my healthcare for no fee. Thanks for this video as it makes me more confident to retire early.
Take SS as soon as possible, don't gamble! Consider how old you need to live to break even, I would need to live to 82, just break even. This is a bit abstract but, only after age 82 I would receive 30% more, up until then I would just be catching up to what would have received between 62-66. If I die before 82 then I lose money when comparing 62 versus 67. In the USA today the average age of death for a man is 73 a women is 78. Consider when your parents and grandparents past away, when deciding what is best for you.
Absolutely the best and top most videos on retirement planning. Loved every bit of your analysis and approach. Thanks for sharing. I'm considering getting into retirement as well as personal planning to help those who come to me for advice. Can i do that as an individual or do i need to be certified? What all should i do? Do you teach?
Just retired. 62 with two pensions, 700k 401k and am planning on taking SS at 64. Mrs still working, with a pension and similar 403b. No debts. I see your EKG schedule is out till Dec. Does your company provide financial services where one doesn't have to keep on top of planning as you said at 95?
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, you can plan out to whatever age you want. I just prefer to be more cautious just in case. Looking forward to speaking in the future!
I'll be 68 years old in 2 weeks. My wife is 67. We have close to $700K in our combined IRAs. We have an $839/month mortgage with about $450/month HOA. My wife has a car payment of around $500 per month. We don't really have any other debt. I was hoping to retire and start drawing social security next year when I'm 69. My wife wants to start drawing from social security now but keep working until around August of this year. Both of us have birthdays in February. I estimate that we will each be getting around $2000-$2500 from Social Security. Do you think we will be okay to retire or do you need more info?
Thanks for all the info. I hesitate to say "yes" in the comments section. Reach out to us at info@pearlwealthgroup.com. Let's get you through retirement!
good video - but a single person with 600k @ 60 is in top 28% and as such would probably have a larger SS benefit --- great idea of ROTH conversion w/ such a small fixed expense + a modest paid-off house. My plan calcs showed that i could do it at 60 w/ 500k & at 65 w/ about the same amount. So i think there is some reality (since i had 25% more expenses but larger SS. Do you have a video extending the conversions prior to RMDs @ 75 (for this age cohort) or even w/ RMDs to calculate the ROI of the various asset locations/accounts at the 40/60 or 50/50 convervative allocations? BTW, yes, I subscribed w/ all notifications
Home and Auto Insurance = 150.00 Food = 500.00 Utilities = 150.00 Auto Fuel = 150.00 Car and home repairs = 150.00 budget Buffer, just Because you will = 500.00 Property Taxes = 250.00 (rural living ) Cell Phone and Data Plan = 90.00 There’s 1,940.00
How do I find a financial planner/advisor who has this kind of knowledge and these kinds of software tools that will work on an hourly fee basis? I only really comprehend about 50% of the information in your video. I need someone to review my portfolio and get me set up for success, then meet with me once or twice a year to review my investment performance and make adjustments where necessary. I am extremely intimidated by investments and tax code. I have reached out to a handful of CFPs and none will work hourly.
You are smart to insist on a FEE-ONLY advisor. Most of them want you to move your investments to their care (funds under management), and then they collect an annual fee based on how much you invest. In that scenario, my finding has been they no longer care about you or your actual needs, they just tell you to invest MORE with them, since that is how they make more. It's an inherently flawed system.
If you wait till 67 for s.s. and live on savings, do you make back the from higher payments to account for what was used from savings? Our s.s total payments evens out around 70-80 y/o. I took my s.s at 63 with the covid shutdown and loose of income but did not need it since we could live on my wifes income so all my s.s has just been going to the bank, untouched.
Great question! I think it depends on your individual situation. When I run an EKG for someone it’s not a definite yes at 67 or yes it’s 70. It depends on when they need retirement income and what their retirement expenses are.
@@yourfinancialekg I did not "need" mine but at the time of the shut down and u/e ending and stimulus also ending I saw it as a safety net to build a savings to not touch since the s.s site showed my total payments no matter when I started converging at around 79 y/o. I chose to take my payments now, work p/t under the max allowed earnings and bank the money. My wife has now done the same but she actually comes out ahead with s.s and part time work with much cheaper insurance than medicare.
I see this all the time - wait to take social security. Like, do all you guys work for SSA? Why wouldn't you take your SS at 62 (sure, it's 70% of what it *could* be) but then take less from your 401k and let the 401k grow by taking less of it? You've got him taking out of his 401k for 7 years! What growth could he have if he lived mostly on SS for those 7 years and only took a 1/4 of the 401k you have him taking? Is there some secret formula that tells you that taking SS at 67 is far more lucrative than taking it at 62 and leaving 401k alone for that time? What am I missing?
Thanks for the comment! I just try to plan out for each individual person. I have many different scenarios where a client would take SS early. Just depends.
Simple calculation $2800 per month soc sec is $33,600. $600,000 invested @ 4% = $24,000. $33,600 + $24,000 = $57,600. If he needs $35,000 to live, he has an excess $22,600. This should cover everything and have $22,600 extra and still has his initial $600,000. You don’t need all this fast talk to confuse everyone.
Sounds like youre just spending down the $600,000. You have taxes both ways only youre spending down paying taxes instead of paying out of the interest earned. My calculation all expenses are met and you still have $600,000
Maybe retirement isnt worth the headache. Seems like its a gamble more than anything else. 600,000 in retirement, and SS and he'll still run out of money?! No No No. Apparently Im just plain crazy because I'm planning a retirement that allows my vash to continue to grow despite taking my monthly distributions...regardless of inflation.
$600,000 saved for retirement should be at least 600K. When you die. Live off what it generates, should be 8 percent or better. Add SSN and you should be in above average income earner in 80 percent of the cities in the USA. And you can live aboard as a option.
So, on the white board, he zeroed out around 95 years old. When you went to the software, he was at $900,000 at 95 years. Was the only difference the Ira conversions? Am I missing something else?
Using voo for retirement dividends makes zero sense. What does make sense are stocks like vz or mo or funds like pid or etc. why you might use voo would not do for anyone. The nominal averyfor those mentioned on 600k would be 60k with no principal drawdown.
@yourfinancialekg I have a special case where my wife and I want to retire at 60 but leave at least X amount to both our kids when we die. If this would be an interesting video for you to make, let me know. I am organized, with all the details if it sounds interesting to you.
Better to park that $600k in a high yield online savings account earning 4 to 5 percent and what if he dies at around 65 or 70? Better he collect his social security as soon as he can at age 62 so he can enjoy it.
But that is an extremely poor suggestion. How do you expect that to be sustainable. The current rate is between 4 and 5 percent but two years ago it was what, 1.25%. It fluctuates with the inflation rate. So you simply can't depend on it.
@@yourfinancialekg I'm in Sellersburg just across the river from Louisville. My wife is from Irvington. We're close to retirement (like months away) but I may need a warm and fuzzy feeling before pulling the trigger.
It's so clear to me now, Can you help me to buy into the investment product where with 600k equity it is assured that: equity is preserved for me, and grows at the rate of inflation, interest paid out to me will be $24,000 with COLA adjustment each year for inflation that's what I want. thanks for your help
@@yourfinancialekg I read “how much income can be generated in retirement from $600,000. The convoluted things from a person before receiving via Social Security comes into any situation isn’t something fixed. That makes it hard for me to what the investment a person may have. In my own case, I am well beyond could be taking Social Security if I could, in fact I may have to do so during my time yet I may still be working. I guess you’re suppose what might happen yet it wasn’t very clear to me. Presumably you assumed the 60-62 years old they had to use cash and savings… as I said, too convoluted and confusing for me.

Anyone who starts out with an assumption that the S&P will earn 1.8% annual return, and bonds will bring 4.24%, is either ignorant or being deliberately obtuse. The inverse of those numbers is far closer to the long term averages. Also, a 60 year-old should NOT have a 70/30 split of bonds and equities! If this is the financial advice you're giving customers, I can't help but wonder what kind of kick-back the bond funds are paying you?
I think you might be confused. We don’t get kickbacks or commissions as fiduciaries. Our assumptions are 6% market returns on the S&P 500. Thanks for watching!
@@yourfinancialekg - It's right there in black and white, on your board....S&P 1.8%. I'd bet $100 you are happy to help a customer with their retirement planning, by taking assets under management. When the current administration removed the requirement for advisors to act as fiduciaries, it put the advantage back in your court, at least for the uninformed.
@@jasonbroom7147 The 60 y.o is conservative, he fiqured 4% instead of 6% which is fine..now it's just getting 1.8%. Re-watch 7: 30 to 8: 00. He can also adjust every 5 years and go from 70/30 now [shouldn't be 40/60 or less now] to 60/40 at 65 y.o., 50/50 at 70, 40/60 at 75 and so on.
Why no mention of his healthcare costs until he reaches age 65. If your on Obama care your roughly $600/month and that is if you have $50,000 of income or less.The more income the higher the premium. And at about $70,000, no subsidy at all. Healthcare is extremely expensive especially here in FL, not sure about Wyoming. And it does play a huge roll under the age of 65. If I were him, I would cash in enough money and take the tax hit now so he could live of cash for 4-5 yrs and let the rest of his money grow. Just another thought.
Single guy living in Wyoming. If he really loves Wyoming then cool beans. I'm 66, single guy and moving to SE Asia next year hopefully. I have exactly the same numbers as in the video. Single Western men over 60+ can easily find a great young attractive woman to be a wife or partner. Yes, she's looking for security (money) just like every other woman on Earth. And yes men are looking for sex. But that doesn't exclude a great relationship. Cost to live in SE Asia is survive under $1000, live well on $1500 and really well $2000+. It's a little strange focusing a lot on getting an extra couple hundred bucks by investing here or there, what age to take SS, etc... when the single biggest thing a person can do is change what they spend money on. Improving lifestyle while cutting living costs by 50-75% is the big win. Plus SE Asia prepares me for extreme old age when I'll start needing help. A wife/partner can provide that...well, if she's a young SE Asian. An American wife is very unlikely to help or even be able ti help. Plus a live-in housekeeper is about $100-150/mo plus food. A fully trained Registered Nurse makes about $500/mo. Medical is excellent in some large cities, very affordable and most important to me is it's a very short wait, day or two, to see even a specialist. In the US the wait can be weeks. If you can't see the doctor it doesn't matter how good a doctor they are. That level of care is much better inside SE Asia.

NEVER put money (even a small amount) into something YOU can't use if nobody else will barter for it because THEY have no ACTUAL use for it. (eg. gold) And always keep to the front of mind the reality that 'value' and 'price' are are two ENTIRELY different things. And NEVER allow anything to go to waste. (I have more money than I'll ever be able to spend, but still 'Dumpster-Dive'; and make a lot of friends (including hungry animals) I feed from the proceeds. And also inspect demolition-sites, from which I've built several family houses. Just yesterday I picked up 52 metres of 15sq mil. copper cable; exactly what I needed to install a used solar-system for a neighbour which I'd bought for $230 because it was 'an offer too good to refuse'. There's no 'price' attached, but the 'value' of the 'returns' will be unending until one of us falls into a grave. GREAT feeling!

Those ancestors SUCCEEDED (otherwise you wouldn't be here) and one thing you can bet on is that THEY never wasted anything.
@@craigschray4486 oops! got a bit sidetracked. But the 'making money' thing operates on the same principle:- Common sense. I've made a lot of money (more than once) by NOT following the 'expert' sheep: instead relying on my inherited instincts. An inheritance of $33k turned into seven-figures in 38 months because I realised (just from reading the newspaper in the days before the internet) That (a) the banks were competing to pay approx. 6.5% dividends and (b) the government wouldn't allow a bank to fail, if necessary by 'bailing them out'. An opportunity that translated into 'Waste not, want not' in my instincts. After a couple of handouts of 'free cash' it occurred to me one 3am (my inspirational time) that all the four major banks paid dividends at different times (all still at $6+%). Bingo! Four payouts at 6+% pa. Then another 3am inspiration: The realisation that just before a bank (or any company) went ex-dividend the price per share soared: because EVERYbody wanted to 'buy the dividend'! In that buying-frenzy I've seen share-prices increase by 15%. Instincts at play: Who'd want a 6.5% dividend if, by selling the shares one could pick up a quick 15%? Ever heard of a single 'expert' who'd come up with that realisation? And so it goes: Even the local wombat (not noted for brains) and cockroaches (who've been on earth since 100 million years before the dinosaurs) understand the principles involved. But of course they don't listen to the latest in 'expert views' or the thing 'everybody's into'. Every day you wake up into a world with a billion opportunities. Wasting that IS a sin.

Great idea 💡!! What age do you want funds to run out?

Great idea....I'm also thinking if the person has this amount and retires at 65 y.o ..he may have a video on that scenario but I'll have to look.
My advice to this guy is keep working until at least 65 and max out all of your 401K and other savings until then.
Great advice!
David has more than enough to retire. If he doesn't like his job, he needs to quit now.
@@poonpoonsmith399 Great comment!
Yep. Work til 65, save, invest, and then retire debt free and comfortable.
I love the deep dive into the numbers as well as defining the actual s and estimating their future growth. Too many YT´rs present a philosophical approach to retirement without backing up the numbers. I don´t need any more personal advice. Until I saw this video I had not given thought to Roth conversions by installment. Makes perfect sense and using a 5 year outlooks allows one to modify their plan as needed. Good job Drew.
Thanks for watching Glenn!!

We have that much. No bills. Home paid off. Just a car payment. I get 1800 a month in SS and my husband gets 2700 a month. I get a 500 dollar pension payout every month. We are doing great. We take 2000 a month from our IRA- less than 4 percent. We’ve been retired 2 years and after taking that much we still have been making money. I think it depends where you retire. I see at least a couple of small trips a year for us too
I’m 65 and my husband is 66. It has helped that our SS is better than average
Great contribution!
I like the scenario. This sounds a lot like where I'll be.
Single, debt free already, don't travel much if at all. Annual expenses are close. That 600k a little more then I'm hoping to have in my Roth but i also have a decent pension coming at 60.
Thanks for watching Michael!
I must say, Mr. Blackston, you ROCK! All of the "levers" are explained clearly, even if my non-financial brain needs to watch parts over 2 or 3 times. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Randy!
Great video. A tragedy though that there is no money left for a family legacy. No wonder the future generations are not wealthy. There needs to be far more education earlier concerning financial sustainability.
Totally agree
How much of the $600K is in an IRA or other qualified account? How do RMDs affect cash flow and earnings? Any plan to leave anything for heirs? Why not an income annuity?
Some good information here. The expectation would be 6-8% on average for the S&P over time.
Thanks for watching Red Barn! 😉
In all likelihood the next 10 to 100 years will all be negative years as the 100 year bear finally rolls in to bring the markets back to fair market valuations. The same thing happened in 1929 and 1873 but this time everything is much more overvalued than back then.
Yes, before tax. What about net income. My guess was 4%
@rockinchucker4941 it really depends on your tax bracket, but usually, you want to assume 30%
Great as always. I believe he will want to spend more per year. Should have been saving some Roth and HSA whilst eating broccoli - work a bit longer and max catch-ups ? . Also should do bigger roll overs if down years I would think? Probably dead at 80 but good to have the longevity insurance. Looking forward to my next call Drew.
Thanks for watching!! Excited to visit again soon as well 😃
Social security goes up by the inflation rate each year, so it would be more than the $2800 it’s projected at right now.
Very true! We just don't know what that actual figure will be which is why we don't use that in the projection until we are on SS.
Unless there are cuts to social security by politicians who consider SSI an entitlement. Neat, huh?
I can’t believe you explained that in such simple terms, that I understood it completely. Great video.

Between a combination of pfd stocks & MLP pipeline stocks I’ve got about $600k generating ~$110k/yr. I have assets beyond that, but it wasn’t hard to get that level. Otoh I won’t see much price appreciation of those stocks. I treat them like an annuity.
I’m still not collecting SocSec, which will contribute about $30k/yr in a few years.
Awesome job! 👏
That's sensational. Are those all dividend paying stocks?
You’re below investment grade to get those yields. Make sure your MLPs are not in tax shelters like IRAs. Tax nightmare if so. Also once in a while like the beginning of the last decade they can plummet. I like your strategy but save big on those returns because yield hounds often get bloody noses. For the record I’m doing some similar things but staying closer to investment grade on most. 6-7% is very doable in Jan ‘24. Good luck to you!

Glad you enjoyed!
Did you figure in the cost of Medicare and a supplement plan when David turns 65? 🤔
Great comment and thought! Healthcare is built in for Medicare part C, not supplement.
Research a career that has a full pension guaranteed ie, law enforcement , Federal civil service, municipal , State government positions. My career choice had this in mind and I worked thirty years knowing my pension contributions and my employers contribution would allow me to retire at 57 with a net pension equal to my net earnings while working. Those jobs are out there you need to work hard to get one ie education etc.
Thanks for the contribution!
I guess a pension can be a great thing if the taxpayers guarantee it at 100 percent, no matter what.. However, that's not always the case. For example, the airline pilots went from retiring with huge pensions to having their pensions dropped on the pension benefits guarantee board.
@@kennethsouthard6042That’s why being a cop or teacher or fireman is the way to go. Guaranteed. Plus one of my 403b choices to invest in at a fixed guaranteed 7% a year. My pension is close to $9K. Retiring next year at 59…

state governor and legislature is corrupt though and have a tendency to move to arizona when they retire. many hidden taxes too.
I must be missing something on the last part of the video. I think you said that with Roth conversions (the left side of the screen) he would have over 900k when he died at 100 and on the right side of the screen the scenario is the same except NO Roth conversions he would only have about 300k when he died at 100. That doesn't make any sense since the only difference is moving the money from a tax deferred account to a tax free account and paying the taxes. Yes, there would be some RMDs but in a linear growth calculation you would always have more money if you did NOT do Roth conversions since most of the money is still tax deferred and only subject to tax when it is withdrawn. Also, I assume that is a linear rate of return which is not feasible, does your software not do Monte Carlo? The mean rate of return in a Monte Carlo would be significantly less then the 900k, it would be more like 300k like you had on the right side of the screen. Most of the video sounded good up to that point (missing some stuff but how much can you include in a 20 minute video after all).
Excellent information. Thank you for sharing. Your awesome
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
24k annual. + pension and or social security
Good goal
These stories always end the same. You have to live on a tight budget through your retirement years plus you have to rely on your social security to even make that work. Any figure you have under 1 million is going to be difficult to stretch over a 25 year retirement.
True. All depends on lifestyle.
Not if you bet the horses I tell you to bet.
true, but most of these have you passing on your entire retirement account onto heirs. Would be nice to see if you spent down 75% of your account before death what your monthly income would be. Also less than 1% are going to live an additional 30-40 years in retirement. My sister and I tell my folks to spend it all as it is their money. They are taking trips 3 to 4 times a year plus a ton of weekend getaways.

You make things way too complicated.
Sounds like David needs money for 7 years until Social Security kicks in.
7 x $35k = $245k
$600k - $245 = $355k
Once Social Security kicks in at 67, David will receive $33,600 annually, plus he still has $355k in retirement savings.
That's my simple man calculation.
I know I didn't add 5 years of Obama Care, inflation, taxes, fees or interest income, but I think $355,000 will cover those.
Simple is awesome! Also "simple man" is a great song. Thanks for watching!
Government may need to print $$$$$ to pay out SS. Which means very high inflation.
He needs to work to 67 then he is good on everything that's not complicated at all. Lol...
I am very surprised that you did not mention healthcare costs. Especially with him needing coverage from 60 until 65.
The obama care subsidies work strictly on income. Especially on a single person, if he took that much money every year he would have to pay full price for a decent insurance policy. And we all know cancer and cancer meds can bankrupt you in a hurry.
You better have a plan in the event of a healthcare crisis.
Healthcare is very important!
And there needs to be a separate class on Medigap policies which, for most people, give much better coverage than Medicare Advantage plans. MA plans often cost less, offer fluffy up-front benefits, but have remarkably higher overhead costs, higher declination rates of claims, and you might get "stuck" with one forever. To leave MA plans, the Medigap plans put policyholders through underwriting, and something as innocuous as basal cell skin cancer makes one an unacceptable risk.
There's one bit of fallacy here. I notice you picked up the optimum here of waiting until 67 to retire and start drawing social security. What if he dies at 67? In this case he gets nothing and the good government says thank you David for giving us your money for some 45 years and have a good day!
That's true. You can claim earlier if it makes sense.
It would be nice if he has a work pension on top of the IRA and SS. 8 more years before my MRA(57), and I am aggressively Investing my TSP(500k) right now into C, S & I funds hoping to get 10-15% interest/year. I can't wait. The VA will take care of my healthcare for no fee. Thanks for this video as it makes me more confident to retire early.
Glad it helped!!
Same here. Get those catch up contributions also with your TSP. You'll be a TSP millionaire!
Take SS as soon as possible, don't gamble! Consider how old you need to live to break even, I would need to live to 82, just break even. This is a bit abstract but, only after age 82 I would receive 30% more, up until then I would just be catching up to what would have received between 62-66. If I die before 82 then I lose money when comparing 62 versus 67. In the USA today the average age of death for a man is 73 a women is 78. Consider when your parents and grandparents past away, when deciding what is best for you.

health insurance can run between $1000-$1500 a month, $2900 is not going to cut it!!
What about ACA subsidies for income? 35k puts him well below the maximum income threshold.

Good point!
I'll be 68 years old in 2 weeks. My wife is 67. We have close to $700K in our combined IRAs. We have an $839/month mortgage with about $450/month HOA. My wife has a car payment of around $500 per month. We don't really have any other debt. I was hoping to retire and start drawing social security next year when I'm 69. My wife wants to start drawing from social security now but keep working until around August of this year. Both of us have birthdays in February. I estimate that we will each be getting around $2000-$2500 from Social Security. Do you think we will be okay to retire or do you need more info?
Thanks for all the info. I hesitate to say "yes" in the comments section. Reach out to us at info@pearlwealthgroup.com. Let's get you through retirement!
good video - but a single person with 600k @ 60 is in top 28% and as such would probably have a larger SS benefit --- great idea of ROTH conversion w/ such a small fixed expense + a modest paid-off house. My plan calcs showed that i could do it at 60 w/ 500k & at 65 w/ about the same amount. So i think there is some reality (since i had 25% more expenses but larger SS.
Do you have a video extending the conversions prior to RMDs @ 75 (for this age cohort) or even w/ RMDs to calculate the ROI of the various asset locations/accounts at the 40/60 or 50/50 convervative allocations?

How do I find a financial planner/advisor who has this kind of knowledge and these kinds of software tools that will work on an hourly fee basis? I only really comprehend about 50% of the information in your video. I need someone to review my portfolio and get me set up for success, then meet with me once or twice a year to review my investment performance and make adjustments where necessary. I am extremely intimidated by investments and tax code. I have reached out to a handful of CFPs and none will work hourly.
Randy, email us at info@pearlwealthgroup.com and we can talk about what you are looking for.
@@yourfinancialekg I'm in the same boat as Randy.
You are smart to insist on a FEE-ONLY advisor. Most of them want you to move your investments to their care (funds under management), and then they collect an annual fee based on how much you invest. In that scenario, my finding has been they no longer care about you or your actual needs, they just tell you to invest MORE with them, since that is how they make more. It's an inherently flawed system.
the problem is inflation

If you wait till 67 for s.s. and live on savings, do you make back the from higher payments to account for what was used from savings? Our s.s total payments evens out around 70-80 y/o. I took my s.s at 63 with the covid shutdown and loose of income but did not need it since we could live on my wifes income so all my s.s has just been going to the bank, untouched.
Great question! I think it depends on your individual situation. When I run an EKG for someone it’s not a definite yes at 67 or yes it’s 70. It depends on when they need retirement income and what their retirement expenses are.
@@yourfinancialekg I did not "need" mine but at the time of the shut down and u/e ending and stimulus also ending I saw it as a safety net to build a savings to not touch since the s.s site showed my total payments no matter when I started converging at around 79 y/o. I chose to take my payments now, work p/t under the max allowed earnings and bank the money. My wife has now done the same but she actually comes out ahead with s.s and part time work with much cheaper insurance than medicare.

I see this all the time - wait to take social security. Like, do all you guys work for SSA?
Why wouldn't you take your SS at 62 (sure, it's 70% of what it *could* be) but then take less from your 401k and let the 401k grow by taking less of it? You've got him taking out of his 401k for 7 years! What growth could he have if he lived mostly on SS for those 7 years and only took a 1/4 of the 401k you have him taking?
Is there some secret formula that tells you that taking SS at 67 is far more lucrative than taking it at 62 and leaving 401k alone for that time?
What am I missing?
Thanks for the comment! I just try to plan out for each individual person. I have many different scenarios where a client would take SS early. Just depends.
Simple calculation $2800 per month soc sec is $33,600. $600,000 invested @ 4% = $24,000. $33,600 + $24,000 = $57,600. If he needs $35,000 to live, he has an excess $22,600. This should cover everything and have $22,600 extra and still has his initial $600,000. You don’t need all this fast talk to confuse everyone.
What about taxes, inflation, and market risk?
Sounds like youre just spending down the $600,000. You have taxes both ways only youre spending down paying taxes instead of paying out of the interest earned. My calculation all expenses are met and you still have $600,000

Roth IRA is where the conversions go. Hope that helps!

Money can be put into a Roth when you are no longer working?
As a conversion, yes!
currently 600k generates me 120K a year.
😮
$600,000 saved for retirement should be at least 600K. When you die. Live off what it generates, should be 8 percent or better. Add SSN and you should be in above average income earner in 80 percent of the cities in the USA. And you can live aboard as a option.
If your single why leave anything left? Why live like a hermit all your life and leave $600k for someone to live like a King!😂
So, on the white board, he zeroed out around 95 years old. When you went to the software, he was at $900,000 at 95 years. Was the only difference the Ira conversions? Am I missing something else?
Short answer: It depends.
That's a good answer!
Using voo for retirement dividends makes zero sense. What does make sense are stocks like vz or mo or funds like pid or etc. why you might use voo would not do for anyone. The nominal averyfor those mentioned on 600k would be 60k with no principal drawdown.

Better to park that $600k in a high yield online savings account earning 4 to 5 percent and what if he dies at around 65 or 70? Better he collect his social security as soon as he can at age 62 so he can enjoy it.
Good point
But that is an extremely poor suggestion. How do you expect that to be sustainable. The current rate is between 4 and 5 percent but two years ago it was what, 1.25%. It fluctuates with the inflation rate. So you simply can't depend on it.

Why are 90% of these "can I retire" scenarios always single?
I would say maybe 60% are single but we do married couples as well. I will keep that in mind!
Anyone who starts out with an assumption that the S&P will earn 1.8% annual return, and bonds will bring 4.24%, is either ignorant or being deliberately obtuse. The inverse of those numbers is far closer to the long term averages. Also, a 60 year-old should NOT have a 70/30 split of bonds and equities! If this is the financial advice you're giving customers, I can't help but wonder what kind of kick-back the bond funds are paying you?
I think you might be confused. We don’t get kickbacks or commissions as fiduciaries. Our assumptions are 6% market returns on the S&P 500. Thanks for watching!
@@yourfinancialekg - It's right there in black and white, on your board....S&P 1.8%. I'd bet $100 you are happy to help a customer with their retirement planning, by taking assets under management.

Why no mention of his healthcare costs until he reaches age 65. If your on Obama care your roughly $600/month and that is if you have $50,000 of income or less.The more income the higher the premium. And at about $70,000, no subsidy at all. Healthcare is extremely expensive especially here in FL, not sure about Wyoming. And it does play a huge roll under the age of 65. If I were him, I would cash in enough money and take the tax hit now so he could live of cash for 4-5 yrs and let the rest of his money grow. Just another thought.
Great idea 💡
Hey!!…I don’t care about his expenses. I don’t care about his SSI. How much income will the money make?? Ugh!!!!!
All those factors determine how much the 600k will generate. Thanks for watching!
Single guy living in Wyoming. If he really loves Wyoming then cool beans. I'm 66, single guy and moving to SE Asia next year hopefully. I have exactly the same numbers as in the video.
Single Western men over 60+ can easily find a great young attractive woman to be a wife or partner. Yes, she's looking for security (money) just like every other woman on Earth. And yes men are looking for sex. But that doesn't exclude a great relationship. Cost to live in SE Asia is survive under $1000, live well on $1500 and really well $2000+.
It's a little strange focusing a lot on getting an extra couple hundred bucks by investing here or there, what age to take SS, etc... when the single biggest thing a person can do is change what they spend money on. Improving lifestyle while cutting living costs by 50-75% is the big win.
Plus SE Asia prepares me for extreme old age when I'll start needing help. A wife/partner can provide that...well, if she's a young SE Asian. An American wife is very unlikely to help or even be able ti help. Plus a live-in housekeeper is about $100-150/mo plus food. A fully trained Registered Nurse makes about $500/mo. Medical is excellent in some large cities, very affordable and most important to me is it's a very short wait, day or two, to see even a specialist. In the US the wait can be weeks. If you can't see the doctor it doesn't matter how good a doctor they are. That level of care is much better inside SE Asia.
Thanks for the comment

If you are thinking about retirement in the near future, putting your money anywhere near the stock market would be worrisome. With the idiots we have as our representatives, thery will save themselves with all that iside trading and you could lose everything overnight . My financial advisor was getting a bigger chunk of my money than me. The stock market is not safe. I ended up getting a part-time job to make ends meet . Don't put your nest egg into anything you don't fully understand ...too many unethical players out there.
If you can't generate a 10% return (60k from 600k) you probably didn't earn the $600k in the first place.
How do you do it?
@@craigschray4486 @craigschray4486 Maintain an open, versatile mind. NEVER put money (even a small amount) into something YOU can't use if nobody else will barter for it because THEY have no ACTUAL use for it. (eg. gold)
And always keep to the front of mind the reality that 'value' and 'price' are are two ENTIRELY different things. And NEVER allow anything to go to waste. (I have more money than I'll ever be able to spend, but still 'Dumpster-Dive'; and make a lot of friends (including hungry animals) I feed from the proceeds. And also inspect demolition-sites, from which I've built several family houses. Just yesterday I picked up 52 metres of 15sq mil. copper cable; exactly what I needed to install a used solar-system for a neighbour which I'd bought for $230 because it was 'an offer too good to refuse'. There's no 'price' attached, but the 'value' of the 'returns' will be unending until one of us falls into a grave. GREAT feeling!
Wastage, particularly of food, should be at the top of ANY Don't-Do list, including the Ten Commandments! (and I speak as a devout atheist.) Could go on if you like (dabbblesATgmailDOTCOM), but You'd do well to rely more on the instincts bequeathed you by a few million generations of ancestors than on the bullshit pushed on you by the 'World as we know it'. Those ancestors SUCCEEDED (otherwise you wouldn't be here) and one thing you can bet on is that THEY never wasted anything.
@@craigschray4486 oops! got a bit sidetracked. But the 'making money' thing operates on the same principle:- Common sense. I've made a lot of money (more than once) by NOT following the 'expert' sheep: instead relying on my inherited instincts. An inheritance of $33k turned into seven-figures in 38 months because I realised (just from reading the newspaper in the days before the internet) That (a) the banks were competing to pay approx. 6.5% dividends and (b) the government wouldn't allow a bank to fail, if necessary by 'bailing them out'. An opportunity that translated into 'Waste not, want not' in my instincts. After a couple of handouts of 'free cash' it occurred to me one 3am (my inspirational time) that all the four major banks paid dividends at different times (all still at $6+%). Bingo! Four payouts at 6+% pa. Then another 3am inspiration: The realisation that just before a bank (or any company) went ex-dividend the price per share soared: because EVERYbody wanted to 'buy the dividend'! In that buying-frenzy I've seen share-prices increase by 15%. Instincts at play: Who'd want a 6.5% dividend if, by selling the shares one could pick up a quick 15%? Ever heard of a single 'expert' who'd come up with that realisation? And so it goes: Even the local wombat (not noted for brains) and cockroaches (who've been on earth since 100 million years before the dinosaurs) understand the principles involved. But of course they don't listen to the latest in 'expert views' or the thing 'everybody's into'.
Every day you wake up into a world with a billion opportunities. Wasting that IS a sin.
The Cowboy State. TY This is closer to my scenario except I want to work a seasonal tax and accounting job during tax season that should pay with take home pay, around 19K per year. How much do you charge?
