    Recently, I've been pondering retirement, unsure if my 401(k) and IRA will provide a stable future. I've also put $800K into the stock market, encountering fluctuations with limited gains. i need an approach that will align with my risk tolerance and financial goals

      Using a 401(k) or IRA is a valuable strategy for retirement planning, providing potential savings growth and tax advantages. While the stock market is promising, expert guidance is essential for effective portfolio management

      Opting for an inves-tment advisr is currently the optimal approach for navigating the stock market, particularly for those nearing retirement. I've been consulting with a coach for a while, and my portfolio has surged by 85% since 2022

      Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Rebecca Nassar Dunne’” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

      This is why I've entrusted a fiduciary with my investment decisions. Many underestimate advisors until emotions lead to losses.

This has grown my portfolio to $780k, generating sufficient dividends for my household's needs.

      It was a huge moment for me too! I told friends and eventually told everyone. At first, it felt embarrassing to admit that our four collective degrees (me/my husband, both a BA and MA) had us in over $100k of debt, even with lots of scholarships and working through college. I later realized our friends and family got really excited with us and were so proud that we had put our minds to it for so long (2008-2020) while raising little kids. I loved hearing this woman talk about that moment for her to. This is such an inspiring interview!

Basically, drive like you are made of glass. Also, with her net worth, don't cheap out on auto insurance, you wouldn't want a bad accident to set you back to zero.

      Hi Stefanos. The grocery budget is done by buying most food in bulk. We have Costco and a store called Winco here in Seattle. You can buy oatmeal, rice, quinoa, beans, pasta, etc. for less than $.90/lb. Fresh vegetables are relatively cheap, too. Make your own sauces by starting with the fresh ingredients. Try only buying fresh vegetables, grains and meat in bulk. I'm vegan, but you can still do it if you eat meat. Just buy a whole chicken - cook it and eat the meat. Then use the bones to make chicken stock and soup. Figure out what works for you and your diet. See what your grocery budget is after a month of only buying fresh foods and starting in the bulk section. I definitely eat 3 meals a day (plus snacks). :-)

Just depends on what you like to eat. If I don’t make a fruit and veggy smoothie, I make potato, broccoli and egg ‘stir fry’ for breakfast… it’s all super cheap. Have a meat of some sort every other night but nothing expensive. I buy eye of round in bulk and slice into portions, bag up and freeze. Make that with some rice and gravy and steamed veggie. I buy the good stuff when it’s on sale only, or the stuff discounted when it’s on the last sell by date, then freeze for later… just common sense really.

    I retired 20 years ago at 45. I was a software engineer but I did not have a pile of cash. At times I had less than $15k. What I've done is live frugally. I like gardening, writing software and remodeling homes. I buy a dump house in good areas. Live in the house and slowly improve the landscaping (a hobby) and slowly remodel the house doing all the work myself. Instead of going to a gym I swing a hammer. I sell the house about every 5 years. The first $250k of profit is tax free. I've had income over these 20 years under the tax filing limit so I don't need to file tax forms. Then I buy another dump.
    During the 2008 crash I did get caught with 2 houses and had to rent for several years. Here's the thing about rentals...are you actually retired or have you just switched jobs to being a landlord? It's the same with investing in stocks. I suck at stock investing and I don't like it. I don't want my new career to be landlord or stock investor.
    I'm getting my Phoenix home ready to sell in the spring of 2022. I should net just under $500k. Then I'm moving to the Philippines where I'll probably do the same thing because it's fun. Only there I'll buy land and build because I have the skills and labor is cheap (carpenter = $10 per 8hr day). There I will build rental units for foreigners to rent as they pay more and I understand what kinds of units they like. I can hire out the management. Or maybe I lay in a hammock. I have no need to take social security until I'm 70 so my total monthly income should be $4-5k. That goes pretty far in the Philippines...but might move to Malaysia.
    Getting a pile of cash is only one way to retire. To me skills gave me more security. I knew I could always go back to writing software for a salary so I felt safe. I could always pick up work creating landscapes, home remodeling. A funny thing happens when you have basic needs covered, you don't have to work 40-80 hrs / week just to stay a float. You can do jobs you enjoy for less money, less pressure. It's more fun.
