We sold our house (duplex), cars, everything and slow traveling now for 14 months. military pension. Proceeds are getting average 4.1-4.4% placed in 2-7 years
    CD, treasuries.... Not chasing a "nickel". Our IRAs/Roth's are 70/30 ish sit as bucket 3. (Using less than 4%... Around 2%)

    As another engineer with a few spreadsheets (but probably not as detailed as yours)...we plan to retire at the end of 2028 when my gov't pension is available to kick in. I'll be 62, so not retiring with the need to bridge as many years as you, but still lots of considerations about when to take SS as opposed to living completely off our other savings. While I kept telling myself I thought we were in good shape to meet our timing/life style goals, our annual free visits with a CFP made available through my wife's employer has given me the confidence that we' will indeed be ok. Good to have some professional, 3rd party input to at least give you that extra validation. Good morning from Dayton, OH!

    One of the things I did that seemed small at the time, was setting up my 401(k) plan to automatically increase my contribution by 1% every January 1st and every time I got a raise. You'd be surprised how easy it is to deal with that slight increase in terms of your monthly budget, and boy does it add up over time. Stay as debt-free as possible too! Don't sacrifice your future freedom for a fleeting fancy now.

    Began saving "cash", reducing 401K to only the match to allow Roth conversions in beginning retirement years. Started interviewing various financial planners since I knew we would need advise for the withdrawals coming up & my spouse isn't interested in the mechanics if I die 1st. Also subscribed to New Retirement. Retiring in a few months.

    Unlocked some equity from our house in 2012. Retired 2.5 years later. Low mortgage rate. Nice capital gain after investing in Apple and provided tax free liquidity to help bridge the gap to age 59.5. I wanted to pull the trigger in 2009 after the market crash but missed that opportunity. I wish we had done a 30 year mortgage instead of 15 year at 3.50%. Also opened HELOC which provided more flexibility. Don’t overlook the possibility of utilizing home equity in your retirement plan. Cash flow is very important.

    In our late 40’s and early 50’s we moved Any & All income into our brokerage account.
    (We already were maxing 401k, Roth IRA, and HSA; and I retired earlier this year at age 53).
    Increasing our retirement “war chest” was an obvious benefit….but almost as important: every dollar saved was a dollar NOT SPENT on “stuff”. If this idea intrigues you I highly recommend Rob Berger’s book Retire Before Mom and Dad.

    I love that you raised your bucket 1 and 2 from 6 years to 10 years! Just makes sense if you can swing it. I’m 59, retiring in 6 months, right now I have $500k in each of my 3 buckets, pretty conservative but I bring in $50k of the $85k I need each year and if market tanks 30+%, i would probably put $250k from bucket 1 and 2 into bucket 3…thoughts?!

  • @MidlifeCrisisManagement

    Joe, can you share a little about why the CFPs did not recommend simply leveraging the Rule of 55 from your 401k until reaching age 59.5? I realize you retired at age 54, but I'm a little skeptical that sacrificing the 401k tax break plus employer match in your highest earning years to contribute to brokerage instead made the most sense. I'm sure you made the right decision, just having a challenge figuring out the advantage, even though 401k distributions are taxed as ordinary income in retirement.
    thanks for this video. turned 50 in January and hopefully retiring in my mid-50s.

      I should add that I have been using a financial advisor from Northwestern Mutual for the past 8 years and they have done the Monte Carlo simulations and testing my plan. I especially appreciate how they had me also work on a balanced portfolio of retirement and non-retirement funds. The spend down plan options have also been very helpful. I do plan to engage Boldin software in the coming months to start moving toward independence from my financial advisor. Or at least I can be challenged by Boldin to ask some more intelligent and challenging questions with my advisor. I am using the bucket strategy. Additionally, your guidance about retiring to something not retiring from something really resonates with me. I have developed non-financial elements of my own retirement plan. The elements include: Retirement Decision plan and review team, Identity, Phases of retirement, vision, goals, typical day-month-year, marriage goals, transition plan, parenting adult children plan, engaging friends, big purchases, the inheritance plan, travel, ministry service plan, work options for fun, health goals and routines, hobbies and interests. You may have read the book Halftime and Game Plan by Bob Buford, which I found very inspiring. I just picked up Arthur Brooks book "From Strength to Strength. Thanks for your efforts on these very thoughtful and transparent videos.

    The best financial move, by far, is to contribute to a retirement plan in your 20s and continue for a few decades.
    In retrospect, I would recommend contributing to a tax deferred program up to the company match but no more. Any remaining $ goes into a Roth IRA. Once that is maxed, contribute continuously to a brokerage account. Do all these things for 30 years and you’re on solid ground.

    I switched from regular to Roth 401k contributions. I also built up a brokerage account. Also, more recently, very focused on getting in the best possible health. I’m generally healthy but stress and other factors related to work do take a toll. This is actually my primary reason for leaving work, to remove stress and optimize my health.

    You’ve spoken about wanting to retire early from a young age - and several of the things that you do regularly in retirement. Habitat, Parks, Family, History/Financial groups, Church, ability to spend time engaging in adult children’s lives, reconnecting with old friends, etc. You and your wife are actively engaged in your community and get a lot of fulfillment from that. You’ve touched on travel - making 4 - 6 short trips per year.
    My wife is 62 and I’ll turn 60 next month. Both engineers. We are in Jackson, MS. Enjoy your channel/content more than all the rest of the financial channels - and I watch many…
    You seem to subscribe to the Warren Buffett plan; i.e. 80% equities/20% short term. Buffett has stated that it is very difficult to outperform the stock market and that if he were a small investor, he could make higher returns with the majority of his holdings in an S&P index fund and money for near-term expenses in liquid assets.
    Would like to hear you expound on travel/personal goals as well as more specific investment “advice” in future episodes. There is still A LOT to explore!! ☮️

    Can you show your one spreadsheet you use to manage your buckets? Also, for your yearly expenses, do you draw once (annually) from either bucket 3 or bucket1 ( if the market is down), or do you make quarterly draws?

    • @joekuhnlovesretirement
      @joekuhnlovesretirement  3 дня назад +2

      No on spreadsheet. Too much liability and I have my own style of understanding of how everything works.
      I look at my buckets quarterly and only fill if markets are near new highs. If down, I let B1 do its job.

    Australia, Qld. We have superannuation for retirement but it's locked up until you get to 60. My mistake is I'd like to retire earlier but had not planned for that or the government making changes to super. I'll top out of the new max limit for super by then even if I retire now (51yr old engineer). It gets taxed at the top rate when it does. Just remember the government can change the rules at any time and I assume it's the same in USA.
