Can I Retire at 60 With $250,000 Saved For Retirement?

Can I Retire at 60 With $250,000 Saved For Retirement?
🌟 Are you wondering if you can retire comfortably at 60 with $250,000 saved for retirement? 🌟
Here are some factors to consider:
1️⃣ Lifestyle and Expenses: Your current retirement lifestyle and expected retirement expenses play a crucial role. Do you plan to downsize your home, travel frequently, or have any specific retirement goals? Understanding your spending needs is key.
2️⃣ Investment Strategy: Your retirement investment choices and asset allocation will significantly impact your retirement savings. Diversifying your retirement portfolio can help manage risk and potentially grow your nest egg over time.
3️⃣ Social Security and Other Income Sources: Don't forget to factor in potential retirement income from sources like Social Security, pensions, or part-time work during retirement.
4️⃣ Healthcare Costs: Consider healthcare expenses, which tend to increase with age. Having a solid plan for healthcare coverage is crucial.
5️⃣ Longevity: Life expectancy is another essential factor. With advances in healthcare, people are living longer.
6️⃣ Inflation: Account for the impact of inflation on your purchasing power over time.
Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer to retirement planning. The best approach is to assess your unique retirement circumstances and create a personalized retirement strategy. While $250,000 can be a solid foundation, it's essential to have a comprehensive retirement plan in place to ensure a comfortable and financially secure retirement.
If you're unsure about your retirement readiness or need assistance in crafting a retirement strategy, don't hesitate to reach out. Your future self will thank you for the peace of mind that comes with a well-thought-out retirement plan. 💼🌅

At 60, do you want all of your money in the market? A 2 year recession could toast your life savings.

Real life. Retired at 55 with $375,000 in tax deferred instruments. Was going to file for SS at 62. When I got to 62 and had more in my tax deferred instruments than when I retired 7 years earlier. I decided to wait till 66 to apply.. When I got to 66 after withdrawing from TDI's I still had more in those accounts than when I retired at 55 so I decided to file for SS at 70. Now if I would have filed for SS at 62 I would have received $1700 a month at 70 I receive more than $4000 a month from SS . My point is the breakeven point for SS for me was 6 years. Not ten or 11. The biggest reason is the cola difference between applying it to a smaller number and a large number. My cola increase this year is $130 per month. You may not be able to match the market returns of the last 15 years. I am so happy to have taken money out of the market when you could make some money. For the average investor you cannot beat 8% year after year along with differential tax treatment. Just sayin'

Hi Drew! I'm thinking of retiring next Spring when I hit 59. I've got approx $500K in investment accounts (403B, Traditional IRA, Roth IRA). My part-time job in SC annually is about $50K. I've got rental property that adds about $40K to that income on my 1040. I have no debt. My biggest question mark is Health Insurance. I'd like to live off the rental income. I'm working a budget to live off $30K, but no longer adding to any retirement accounts except my Roth IRA (which I love because it grows tax free). Does this sounds doable??

[@767bob]

A Flight attendant salary goes up every year unless they are topped out. But still she might get a 2% a year increase, so if she is putting in the same hours, her salary is higher every year. This will change the math on how much savings will exist after each 10 years. Same with the Social Security, it will go up every year. So yes, taking SS at 62 will work better than waiting for 67, the numbers will be better than shown on your example. But still, great job on your video.

[@yourfinancialekg]

Thanks for the info and comment!

[@preparingforretirement]

Great analysis but don't you have to take the COLA increases into account with social security in the first example if you are adjusting expenses for inflation also? As of now her future payment is calculated for 67 at 2500 but that isn't taking into account 7 yrs of COLA.

[@yourfinancialekg]

True, but I am just conservative in my estimation. COLA is not guaranteed, but inflation is probably going to be there no matter what "COLA" calculation the gov uses.

We will leave this money invested until we come back. Maybe for 15 years or so.

(We have investment in Brazil, plus 1000k dollars monthly will feel the gap until we retire. The rest of it we can put away for emergency and taxes, etc. We will file social security at 67 or 70.

However when talking about EXPENSE you or candidate Never ever including the HEALTH-CARE cost that is a issues with people plan to retire before 65 (Medicare Kid In). So your final video is not really accurate regardless of Software/Simulation you're using.

[@yourfinancialekg]

Good point!

[@RaechelMaelstrom]

You didn't take into account that what she's going to get paid for her part time job is inevitably going to go up over the years.

[@yourfinancialekg]

True Raechel!

[@harryhankins1338]

The monthly income of 1,000 would increase over 20 years.

[@yourfinancialekg]

Yes we would hope so!

[@DAVE-THA-PLUMBER]

Correct, this is the one big flaw in this case. There are an other few minor issues, the 1000 monthly over 20 years is unrealistic. The content was still good

[@themonogrammom]

I was assuming she was working fewer hours so she still had a $1,000 paycheck each month. I mean, she is getting older.

[@yourfinancialekg]

@@DAVE-THA-PLUMBER I just flew Southwest to Nashville from Tampa and my flight attendant was in her 70's working full time.

[@marilyn8700]

Your assuming a company will want to keep you when you're that old. They don't usually keep people on into their late 70's and 80's. Unless you're in amazing body shape at that age with all perfect cognition, and maybe in union that protects your job. But it's just not the norm.

[@yourfinancialekg]

Technically, that would be illegal: The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) prohibits employers from firing people based on their age, as long as the age limitation is not a necessary occupational qualification. The ADEA protects people who are 40 or older from discrimination in all aspects of employment, including hiring, pay, promotions, layoffs, training, and benefits.

Why would someone with only $25000 invest ALL the money in the market? You are including all her money and not taking into consideration that part of that money might be in a checking and stodgy low risk bank savings account. You need to say $15000 in investments with a more reasonable return of 4% in the current real world 🌎

[@yourfinancialekg]

She has 10k in the bank. Thanks for commenting!

If your house is paid off, the taxes on it are extremely low, your utilities are near zero, and you love to eat beans and rice/rice and beans, and you never have health issues, then sure!

[@user-rb6ef6nw7i]

I’m thinking right off the Start she shouldn’t be thinking about Retiring if her expenses are $3,000 😳😳

[@hogroamer260]

She's surviving, not living. She needs to work to 65 and be done. Odds are a health issue will not allow her to work to 80. Also, you need to add inflation to her salary.

[@yourfinancialekg]

Good point!

[@EdA-bz3bu]

market turn, need a car$, medical$, fix the furnace$,...... will tank all her plans.

[@yourfinancialekg]

Good point

[@dagobaker]

she needs to work till 62 minimum and working till 82 just isnt very realistic is it?

[@yourfinancialekg]

The age of workers working part time has gone up over the past few years. Health is obviously the big concern.

[@terryh1811]

Just retire at 67 for your peace of mind

[@yourfinancialekg]

Good point

[@davidbobo9740]

What if she took her s.s. at 65 ? She wouldn't lose that much , not 30 % .

[@yourfinancialekg]

Very true!

[@gemmarosato3789]

6% is high for ROR , especially in these unprecedented times. I’d rather not back test and be conservative in deciding that big step to retire at 60 .

[@George-hl2xm]

Why would anyone want to retire before 62 unless you just have to

Some do

You can always retire. How well can you live, is the question. 😂

[@amandawright3808]

What 80 yr old flight attendants are there out there? She may wanna work but there’s no guarantee she won’t be ‘let go’ due to age. And you keep saying social security like it’s guaranteed. Well it isn’t really.

[@yourfinancialekg]

Hopefully not let go due to age. That is illegal. Lots of older adults working these days. The data shows us that.

[@ginacardarella]

So the answer is no because she has to keep working.😆

[@yourfinancialekg]

Gina, good answer!

This is all assuming no major medical expense. One expense can take this person out.

[@joebush5463]

doesnt she have to pay fed taxes

[@Cfrancis1968]

Nope. SS is not taxed. If she is only working part time for $12,000 a year that is below the standard deduction of $13,850.

[@yourfinancialekg]

Fed taxes would be very low if any

[@jayoman4453]

Only 50 percent of your SS is tax. Her federal income tax would be very low.

[@Cfrancis1968]

@@jayoman4453 After factoring Provisional income, she still pays no Fed Tax on SS. I come up with her initial $12,000 of wages then $1,000 of Provisional income, 12,000 wages+ (30,000/2) SS = $27,000. 0 to $25,000= 0% tax on ss, $25,000 to $34,000= 50% She only has $2,000 in the 50% bracket, so only $1,000 provisional added to her wages of $12,000 =$13,000 total. Standard deduction is $13,850 for 2023, so no Fed Tax. Drew correct me if I am wrong.

[@khuongle877]

Yes she can retire at $250k, just spend $36k a year until she 67
