Thanks for not making a 30 minute video. Short, sweet and to the point.

[@StreamlineFinancial]

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@georgestone0123]

Not making up to a million before retirement is unfulfilled retirement.!! It’s such a blessing that my wife and I aren’t just married, but we’re also each other’s best strategic partner in business. I’m great at what she lacks, she’s great at what I lack and we have a Fin. Adviser to work with. Praise God!! And thank you for this awesome content!!!.!!!

[@Retired-jr3qs]

I like that your videos are direct and to the point. It's refreshing.

[@StreamlineFinancial]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@dalesworld1308]

Sadly, I've never seen school taxes, insurance, food prices or energy costs stay the same.

[@bartasher1737]

You need more than those three items! For example what is your current debt.

[@tahirisaid2693]

I am retiring next yr at 55 with 3 houses paid off worth 4.5 million. One is my place of residence the other 2 properties will give me $80,000per/yr rent. I will have an income stream of $20,000 per yr through my super which gives me total $100,000 a yr to live comfortably. I have no debts ... Stay Motivated!!

[@larrygiddinge948]

Short and sweet -right to the point

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Yes! That's the goal. Thanks, Larry.

[@alansach8437]

Doesn't how much you "should have" depend on how much you make, your lifestyle, whether you also have a pension, if you are single or married and where you live?

[@DavidMiller-du9dy]

My ideal portfolio would be one that meets my financial needs for the rest of my life, I’m currently investing for retirement.

[@jamesgerboc]

Am I missing something? Im not sure how Fidelity, or any brokerage company, would know people's total 401K balance at any point in time. They would obviously know about monies invested with Fidelity. But how many people have only one 401K, 403b, or IRA these days? I know I currently have four. And the balance(s) were very dependent upon pensions. I could rollover the pension(s), which would obviously change the balance substantially. Or, I could take the pension, which obviously makes any 401k balance less critical. Again, am I missing something?

[@HemiChrysler]

How do we agree to define savings ? I think we can all agree to include our bank accounts. Do we include cryptocurrencies ? Company & private pensions ? Stocks ? ETFs ? Gold & silver ? Property (less any mortgage) ? Classic cars (values appreciate) ?

[@denishamlin2230]

How do you receive social security benefits when you're 60?

[@GilbertFleming]

Thank you for the information on the assets of a 60 year old. Another question… What is the average income of a 60-year-old? Lotta folks have large pensions but no savings.

[@makingretirementpossible]

I'm confused.. what does the 500 represent in the match when dividing?

[@jmmccrary]

I think these numbers are probably lower than reality. I think by age 62 many people probably have multiple retirement accounts. I have retirement assets in 4 different accounts. One 401K with current employer, another that was transferred from old employer to an IRA as well as 2 Roth IRAs in a different accounts. None of these are with the same broker. I have only switched companies 3 times over my career which i feel is probably below average.

[@user-br7rm3ol2s]

probably not. They are not factoring in people who have no retirement savings at all, and that's huge number. We already know that 66% of Ameicans woudl have trouble coming up with $1000 for an emergency.

[@barbiec4312]

That was a quick clear explanation of the percentage you’ll need to withdraw. Thanks.

[@marshallhosel1247]

Thanks, short and sweet.

[@StreamlineFinancial]

You're welcome!

[@Austin84221]

Thanks. I like snapshots, especially when I look on pace.

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Glad you like them!

[@olliehopnoodle4628]

The second half of the video is good. The first half is interesting but I am always a bit suspect when the results come from a specific company. I have a fidelity 401K account, it is about 20 or so percent of my overall 401K and other tax deferred savings. So if they are just looking at Fidelity accounts it may not be a good representation of the 'total' amount people have saved for retirement.

[@La_sagne]

the first half was great because a LOT of people do either not know the difference between median and average or do not understand how significant the difference can be.

[@barbchand5937]

Wonderful vlog! Thank you sir.

[@StreamlineFinancial]

So nice of you. Thank you, Barb.

[@davidsiemer7578]

Wish I had the $600K but at least I’ll have 4 pensions totaling around $4800 a month

[@Frank020]

Hi, do I work the numbers pre-taxes?

[@johnsanchez5204]

I have a friend, Who is 54. He only has $500, Currently, Saved, ln the Bank, and He wants to retire, @ 62. Any advice, For my friend?

[@sunilv9654]

Who is watching this beautiful video in 2023😀

[@davelackey5943]

Where do I find an honest financial planer

[@BenRook]

Agree w/some other comments...a straight-forward explanation (thanks) and just using Fidelity numbers probably isn't the most representative of all that data out there you can pull from. But I will check out your other vids and for now, add you to my subscribed list. Good luck.

[@StreamlineFinancial]

I appreciate your comment, Ben. Thank you!

[@OnmywaytoFI]

Much lower than needed. One thing to think about though is people have multiple retirement accounts that cannot be factored into these numbers.

[@defariase]

This is yet another fantastic video for those who like to plan and want to be in good shape for retirement. Thanks again for another great video!

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Thanks, Leo. I really appreciate that!

[@cato451]

Traditional rules of thumb make zero sense. All that matters is how much is needed to cover expenses in retirement. Eliminate all debt, create a fixed budget and a disposable budget. Fund both with combined cash savings, retirement account investments, and social security.

[@davelackey5943]

I have a federal pension the Social Security I get essentially is all offset by Medicare payment, we live in the Midwest about three hours from Chicago and have saved $515,000. I will soon have to start taking my mandatory RMD’s any suggestions or comments

[@victoragoo7771]

Simple, direct to the point, very clear. Thank you,

[@墨紫月]

How can anyone survive on 200k retirement saving ? Unless there is other income.

[@MichaelSmith-xs4wp]

Everyone is different, so these numbers might represent a majority of people. I turn 62 this year. I will start collecting social security to supplement my pension. We own our house outright, no other debt with .5 million growing in retirement accounts. So I think we're in pretty good shape. If you're 60-years-old and just starting to plan for your retirement; good luck. The last 5 years of my career, I maxed out my 401k contributions which was matched to a lesser extent - 4% I think - by my employer. Thank goodness for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). America needs single payer health care insurance.

[@deborahparker6518]

In your example, is the $4000/mo before or after federal and state income tax?

[@VotingForOBAMA1]

That's just the point: YOU decide if you need $4k before or after taxes, and do your calculation accordingly (but it would obviously definitely be better to have $4k left over *after* you have already paid your taxes).

[@emt52889]

What if someone has multiple 401k from different employees at different brokerages

[@BourneAccident]

You could always cash in all your chips and move to another country and live like a king.

[@commenthero4635]

That was my plan. But with the way the government is printing money, not sure if that will be a option in 20 years.

[@Ray3645]

Great video -- short, clear and to the point. Thanks so much!

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

[@robertdunn9407]

I don’t care about those who chose not to save. BTW I saved so I’m well above the line.

[@markarndt8044]

Your explanation for how much you should have at age 60 for retirement savings is just a 401k, what about other buckets where you have money saved. Like Roth IRA or Brokerage account. Or what you are saying a 60 year old should have $500K from all sources?

[@jocktheglide]

I have 600 dollars.....

[@dank1518]

Need to make top 2% in household net worth. That’s 3 million and more.

[@stephtraveler7378]

Good data analysis. Wonder if the dataset from Fidelity include spousal pension benefits. i.e. spouse has a military or education pension... thus, the 401k means a whole lot less... Also, means and modes are good general info, but they include Bills Gates and Warren Buffet, et al.... I think what is more useful is total retirement broken into percent brackets... Kinda like how to measure new borns and net worth... 90 percentile has a 401k greater than $1m... etc.

[@joseperez1085]

Very nice video.

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Thank you very much, Jose.

[@joseperez1085]

I am wondering if you could do a review of my finances as I am a couple of years away from early retirement. Thanks.

[@Gabriellabonanno]

Great video

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Thanks!

[@bruced.370]

Brilliant 👏. Good clear and practical video. I liked and subscribed 👍🤑

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Great! I'm glad it was helpful.

[@davelackey5943]

I receive a pension about $5800 a month

[@stephenksiazek812]

😨

[@moneytalkswithjonathanthom4150]

Well done!

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Thank you!

[@stevemlejnek7073]

In your example where you need $1500 per month, 18k per year. Dont you need to withdraw more than that, as those withdrawls would be taxed? Dont you need to clear 1500 per month after tax?

[@craignewell8080]

That was my question. Much of my savings were tax DEFERRED, not tax free. I would have to withdraw $6k to get $4k in his example.

[@christopherhennessey8991]

For those who have less than the $ 320,000 that you had posted ,do these individuals have a continuing income stream such as a defined benefit pension?

[@chrismaloy]

Hey Streamline Financial - I subscribe to your software, and I've really enjoyed it. Many planners are saying we should get out of bonds and move to a better / safe alternative. What are your thoughts on this?

[@cajunaccent6609]

Great job on the video. Thank you

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Thank you too!

[@mellievern1161]

I'm in trouble.

[@NipItInTheBud100]

I’d love to see a video of what you should have saved if you want to retire at 50, 55, 60, 62, 65, 67, and 70! Or even some of those! I understand exact numbers can’t be given but rules of thumb types of numbers would be greatly appreciated!

[@andreashallow7785]

Early retirement is the dream. I refuse to accept that I have to be at the end of my life to enjoy time freedom. Let's hustle to financial independence! Thanks for sharing!

[@sunbeltliving]

It's hard to know if they have pensions on top of 401k

[@dlevy-fp7fz]

So what if you have$20.00 and your 56yrs old

[@stephenksiazek812]

😱

[@jayburdman4371]

You forgot another very important number - at what age does this person want to retire? Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe they want to work another ten years. It makes a huge difference.

[@PR_GTR]

Im 55 I have $170,000 so far

[@jcnopenny4725]

Can you collect SSN at 60?

[@theadvocate1925]

Good grief. I'm 55 with $1.4m and I still feel I don't have enough. I don't know how these people expect to retire.

[@fdm2155]

I don't know what I expected but I was very surprised to see that the median is well under 100K for 60 year olds. That's stunning.

[@dudley7540]

I think you'll be okay.

[@ralphnabozny8494]

there is no pension

[@mmabagain]

I spent money early on paying off my house so I only have 480K.

[@mrmatko7243]

I would go with 2% rather than 4% these days

[@suzanneemerson9787]

Who can live on $4000/month before taxes? No one I know.

[@metalslather]

One of the all time great Live albums of all time behind your head. My personal fav. Seen em' in 79'. You have good taste. I am close to your average number, and i'm 60. I suppose it could be worse...........it could also be better.

[@grudgerun]

This is good and clear, however a 60yo generally does not yet have access to Social Security payouts, not until age 62.

[@malcolmtheyeti2871]

You seem legit... That’s rare

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Thanks so much!

[@uppercreative]

I know Dave personally... he's legit.

[@patrickpage1796]

Work on your focusing and camera work. We don't need to see the top of your head when you are looking down. You were out of focus for significant portions. Thanks for putting this out there though. You just need to work on your production values.

[@StreamlineFinancial]

Thanks, Patrick. Right now it's just me putting these videos together but hopefully in the future I can get a more professional eye involved to help with the production value. I appreciate the tips.

[@michelesimko7541]

Who get $2500 social security

[@markbajek2541]

Lots of folks get 2500 at FRA and certainly at 70.

[@stephenksiazek812]

😢

[@pipasmr2011]

Mike Tyson got you too huh?

[@Beck-Stein]

Even 600k at 60 is very low

[@CarlosRodriguez-hb3vq]

Instead of “many, many people have saved less than the median”, why not just say “half”?

[@bluegillmich]

Where should a guy be at 50 years old?

[@sbtrnfla]

People need to save for their own funerals.....that should be the only guarantee

[@uncareid5557]

Dude, get real. I'm recently retired, in my mid 60's, and I have a LOT of living to do! I'm buying my wife a new car today, I rode my bike 15 miles before 8 AM, I am going for a swim at 9 when the pool opens. My grandkids come over for dinner every week in rotation, and I hope to break 100. Jesus said he came to give life, and life to the full. I'm living it, my funeral is the last thing on my mind.
