    The mismatch between retirement savings and spending has led some to declare a “retirement crisis.”
    Retirees get their income from a number of sources. For some, it's a combination of pension payments, retirement plan withdrawals, investments, Social Security, and ongoing work.
    In today's video we're going to explore three questions:
    1. What are the average expenses in retirement?
    2. What is the average income in retirement (both the mean and the median)?
    3. Should you be concerned about your retirement income?

    ABOUT ME
    I’ve always been passionate about personal finance, investing, real estate, and helping people find the freedom to live their life with purpose. But when my dad died in 2015, I tried to help my Mom find an advisor to sort out her finances. Instead of a helping hand, I found an industry of financial advisors dominated by glorified salespeople working on commission - pushing products that were not in my mother’s best interest. Or advisors with minimums that shut-out all but the ultra wealthy. Disappointed with the options, I took matters into my own hands and launched Foundry Financial, a wealth management firm with transparent pricing that specializes in helping provide clarity around money - so you have the confidence to make smart decisions.My goal is to help a million people retire without worry!
    📅 THE BASICS OF RETIREMENT PLANNING
    Retirement planning has several steps, with the end goal of having enough money to quit working and do whatever you want. Our goal is to help people master retirement and retire without worry.
    Step 1: Know when to start retirement planning. When should you start retirement planning? The earlier you start planning, the more time your money has to grow. That said, it’s never too late to start retirement planning. Even if you haven’t so much as considered retirement, don’t feel like your ship has sailed. Every dollar you can save now will be much appreciated later. Strategically investing could mean you won't be playing catch-up for long.
    Step 2: Figure out how much money you need to retire, The amount of money you need to retire is a function of your current income and expenses, and how you think those expenses will change in retirement.
    Step 3: Prioritize your financial goals. Retirement is probably not your only savings goal. Lots of people have financial goals they feel are more pressing, such as paying down credit card or student loan debt or building up an emergency fund.Generally, you should aim to save for retirement at the same time you're building your emergency fund - especially if you have an employer retirement plan that matches any portion of your contributions.
    Step 4: Choose the best retirement plan for youA cornerstone of retirement planning is determining not only how much to save, but also asset allocation. It can make a massive difference in your retirement plan.
    Step 5: Select your retirement investments. Retirement accounts provide access to a range of investments, including stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Determining the right mix of investments depends on how long you have until you need the money and how comfortable you are with risk. It’s often helpful to talk with an adviser to discover the right mix of stocks and bonds.

    Kevin. Appropriate topic. Born very poor we devoted out life to not retiring poor. We are upper class as Pew Research defines it. In our 70s, we eat well and have a nice 4bdm home with pool. Life is good. Trick is to live below your means and keep out of debt.

      Agree 100% Similar situation for me. My parents weren't poor but money was tight. With frugal spending there was enough, but not a lot to spare. It taught me the value of spending wisely. I got a comp sci degree and a good paying career. We are no financial geniuses but we did avoid debt, have lived below our means, and invested the difference. I'm retiring in a month - almost to the day - and we're in pretty good shape. Our plan shows we should have about the same income in retirement as we have now - we'll see how that works.

    40 now, and everything is paid for. Fortunately, I had a college economics teacher who taught me a lesson when I was 18 years old. That lesson was: you can't buy something else for every purchase you make. Having multiple sources of income is prudent, as is living within your means. I have a 13-year-old vehicle because it is all I need, I like it, and I can do whatever I want with it. My net worth is $900k, and I can pay my bills without stress, but I don't live like I have that. I have no complaints.

    I'm sixty six, and retired about a year and a half ago. I have very low requirements with regard to income. I only need around three thousand a month to live comfortably, so I only need to draw around a thousand a month from my retirement accounts, and have a pretty decent retirement account and also a good amount in liquidity. I think the key is living within your means and trying to get, and stay, as debt free as you can.

One of my sadest memories was the day my Dad and I went around and burned down about 5 or 6 homestead shacks. That was in the 1960s and the homestead shack were put up between 1912 and 1919 in our isolated area. The tax man was billing Dad about $20 a year for each home so he felt he had to burn them. I got to keep the pots and pans and kitchen utensils. I had the best equiped playhouse in the community!

Although one is better at saving than the others. Point is we started them out on the right path

    I just started watching your videos. I think you're clear and concise in your presentation. These retirement topics can be are complicated and the future is unpredictable. I think your videos will help people plan and adapt when those plans ultimately need changing. Keep up the good work.
    Thanks for making Right Capital available to try (in your ROTH and SS videos). It was interesting and fun to examine the Roth conversion and various SS claim age scenarios. I can completely recommend that people at least try the Right Capital software if only for that.
    Most trial versions of retirement software that I've looked at do not provide their Roth conversion feature. I get it, they want you to buy/subscribe to their products. Lack of availability made me build a spreadsheet to do to simulations. Though my output was much less pretty and not very intuitive, I'm happy to see that I came to similar conclusions as Right Capital. It was a complicated spread sheet to put together, so having software that is moderately easy to use like Right Capital will help a lot of people.

    In the United States, we live in a constitutional Republic, with a representative democracy as a form of government. This is reflected quite strongly in the way personal finance and debt accumulation among most voters is mirrored in the unconscionable spending we see from Congress. The short-sighted practices from both groups are going to have long-term consequences which impact all Americans, but most notably those who have lived far beyond their means, for far too long. It's why so many are working into their late 60's and even 70's...they have never prepared, so they will really never retire.

      Don't forget to knock off the Medicare Premium from your number. Minimum is $174/month up depending on your AGI. Also your SSI can be taxable up to 85% of your gross benefit, not the net benefit also depending on your AGI. You will not get the whole $4746/month. So do the math in your case and plan for the lesser amount. I do my tax calcs a year ahead so I won't be surprised the following April. I'm 75 this year.

      Actually, in California it is pretty easy to retire in place. Especially if you have owned your home for more than a few years. Property taxes are largely fixed based on what you paid for your home. They limit the increase of property tax payment to under 2%/year regardless of the increase in the market value of your home. Also, if you decide to move elsewhere in the state you can take this low property tax amount to your new home if your new home is worth less than the market value of your old home.

    I'm glad you mentioned expenses. I'm out at the end of 2025 and will be doing the "bottom up" method. One year before retirement, determine your total annual expenses. Take that number and add in a 15% to 20% buffer for incidentals and emergencies. Take that total number and divide it by 0.8. The resulting number is the approximate minimum gross income you'll need during year 1 of retirement. Apply a COLA each year afterwards.

    Well the first thing you need is to work out what your budget will be like when you retire based on todays figures. I know I won't have a mortgage so i know what my annual budget will be. Next, I know what guaranteed income I will be getting from different sources and can project how much my investments will be based on historical data, That's the best you can hope for. Once you have a baseline, you can work out your average tax rate and estimate what your net income will be. Divide your net income by your expenses and if the answer is 1.25 or more then you are probably going to be OK. For example, if your net income is $40,000 and your expenses are $32,000 per annum then you have wiggle room for unexpected bills and can use the disposal income for treats like trips or eating out

    How does a CFP guide a ‘younger person’ today planning for retirement and thinking about a retirement income stream they will need to make it? Major impending reforms to SS and Medicare are going to blow up the general wisdom of today. Just take two simple examples of SS FRA being increased even 1 year, or increasing penalty on collecting at 62 by another 20%, there must be generational differences built into the retirement planning software, right? When running generational data today, (median savings, median net worth, etc.) what does it matter if the expectations are going to materially change what ultimately projected retirement income is meant to support…it isn’t going to be an apples-to-apples set of rules….a younger generation person will need to have their retirement income work X% more than the older generations…with a crystal ball…what does a fiduciary think that % is applied to each generation after the boomers? At least for Millennials and Z, and targeting 62, back-of-the-napkin math shows a likely double-digit % increase from the conventional modeling of today….and converted to real present and/or future dollars…there are going to be many people that are going to cry real tears one day.

    Guess what, before Ronald Reagan most people had a defined pension plan versus a 401K. But thanks to Reagan and his policies, Pension plans disappeared and were replaced with 401K‘s and unions also were basically destroyed during this period of time. You reap what you sow . Good old private sector, and Wall Street “saving” American retirement. Now retirees either have money or they don’t and people with money blame retirement failures on the less fortunate: “they didn’t invest enough” or they are “spendthrifts” Well, hard to invest when most folks live paycheck to paycheck. That’s MOST people.

      Your statement is incorrect, you would be correct if you said that “more” people had defined pension plans, but “most” people did not have define pension plans. You also did not state that many pension plans were underfunded and thus not able to play the promised benefits. You should not rely on others (either government or your pension) to provide for you, instead you should ensure that you provide for yourself, thus that is where 401k’s, IRA’s, Roth’s of both of these, and real estate are things you can control and ensure your own retirement. It really is not that difficult, we did it on a single income and retired @60. The key is to live below your means, don’t borrow money, and don’t make stupid mistakes (divorce, buying new cars, buying more house than you need, crypto, smoking, drugs, etc), stay clear of these things and in most cases your will thrive.

      Your statement isn’t accurate. And I would love to know what policies were enacted that caused private companies to drop pension plans. These companies were already walking away in droves because of the liability. Hence, the 401K was created.

      Funny how the private sector couldn’t make pensions work but if you have a state or federal pension it works and with cola increases. Wonder why….. Oh that’s right the taxpayer will pay for it and make up the difference. So tired of people I know retiring after 30 years ( age 50-55 ) and retiring with crazy pensions thinking it is normal. No it is not normal and it is also not sustainable. Federal and state pensions use to be because they didn’t make as much as private sector. Now they earn more and still get killer pensions. Government over spending is what is causing this crazy inflation and increasing retiree stress.

    • @kellanhills1972
      @kellanhills1972 Месяц назад +1

      Whole life can be a good part of a financial plan if you have a very high income. For example if you make 500k a year and have maxed out all forms of savings shelters whole life cash value can be a good part to shelter more income. It grows tax free and can be borrowed from tax free. Also the whole life they I have cannot be taken in a law suit and it is also a form of disability insurance given that if I become disabled it pays the premiums and still grows tax free and grows in cash value. I’m no insurance salesman but my whole life insurance has been a good part of my investment portfolio at about 15-20 percent or so. It is also forced savings for me and I get a guaranteed 5 percent return as of 2024.
      So you are correct. For an average income person or even for a person who makes 200k or less it is not recommended.

    • @michaelsd284
      @michaelsd284 Месяц назад

      The Cash Value can be the tax free borrowing amount. This provides you additional cash-in-hand to use as you wish. The "borrowed amount will be deducted from the insured amount when the policy holder dies that is why cash value will never be larger then the insure amount.

If only 2% inflation everything will cost 60% more in 30yrs. Without having crazy inflation like we have had the last 3.5 years. Just think 25% loss in purchasing power in 3.5 years.

      Save, save, save. I'm 54 and in maybe the same financial shape as you, but I've always owned my homes and able to build up a bit of equity over the decades. I never invested in my company's 401K because I didn't like how they locked up my money and the investment options were more limited over my brokerage, Roth IRA, HSA accounts so I was okay with forgoing that company match which by the way for years my company wasn't paying into to weather the financial storms over C0vid. My wife also works in her very nearly six figure job and we bank 100% my paychecks into the brokerage account allowing me to build up my dividend income that almost completely matches my current monthly income at my job. All I'm doing is saving, saving, saving, and at some point in the near future we will get two fairly sizable inheritances to add to our retirement. I plan on retiring when I'm 62 as after working in corporate America for 45 years at that point I will be done with the BS as I'm actually done with it now, but I keep pushing forward.

      You can put 300000 in 401K by the time you reach 62 and if you invest aggressively and dollar cost average ... it will more than double. You will have 600K+ in 410K; old 410K will also more than double; you will have about 300K in it. You should have 900K in ten years if you do not touch your 401K. Hope inflation does not ruin the fun. You should be able to withdraw about 36K per yr from your 401K by the time you hit 62 or 65. Edelman financial engines, Fidelity planning tool, etc. should be able to help you forecast your financial future.

      @@foundryfinancialthis is true. Although it is difficult to see this if you haven’t saved a lot of the difference between private sector and public sector. In theory that’s what a government pension should be for. It’s to attract the talent that may otherwise wise go to the private sector. I’m no government apologist but if you are a highly skilled private sector worker you could make twice as much or even 3 times as much or more as a private sector worker. Sky is the limit. So for example if the government pension say is 4 grand a month for example you need to save about an extra million or so to make up for the difference.

Between my SS and very small pension I will get 59k a year and my Wife’s SS adds another 20k. Our house has been paid off long ago and we never had kids.
