Do you have enough saved for retirement? | Amyr Rocha Lima | TEDxKingstonUponThames

[@caseybills5517]

So far I'm doing good, approaching retirement with about 800k in savings. Transitioning from building wealth to spending can be scary, especially with soaring inflation. My question is, after maxing out my tax-advantaged retirement accounts, what next?

[@cowell621]

In my opinion, some financial situations can be handled on your own if you research enough, while others are best navigated in consultation with a financial advisor

[@LiaStrings]

Agreed, the role of advisors an only be overlooked but not denied. I was shocked that I made more money with investing than hard work, not even my CEO income. Earning ''return on investment'' fetched me millions within a space of 5 yrs.(But I still enjoy working)

[@StacieBMui]

Could you possibly recommend a CFA you've consulted with?

[@LiaStrings]

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

[@grego6278]

[@gregorywhem]

Most people don’t realise it, but the secret to retiring comfortably is finding a way to make returns while your money works for you. My dad, as I remember, started saving for retirement quite late, but I know he was making more than 10k returns from his investment monthly and it was completely passive. He was only 55 at the time.

[@BarryWhite-h9m]

This is really amazing though. I'm curious as to how he did it. Was it real estate? Or he was a market enthusiast?

[@gregorywhem]

Not really. Approximately four years before to my dad's retirement, our family was introduced to a financial advisor. That was the catalyst for the transformation. I believe my retirement income would be on the right track because I've been using the same advisor.

[@NormanGhali]

I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?

Retirement becomes truly fulfilling when you possess two essential elements: ample financial resources and a meaningful purpose in life. Make prudent investment choices to secure good returns and ensure a comfortable retirement.

[@sharonwinson-m8g]

Rising prices have affected my intention of retiring at 62, working part-time, and building my savings. I'm worried about whether individuals who weathered the 2008 financial crisis found it less challenging than my current situation. The stock market's volatility, coupled with a reduced income, is making me anxious about having enough for retirement.

[@HectorWhitney]

You are completely right, Advisors have information and paths that are not disclosed to the public.. I profited £560k in 2022 under the tutelage of my Fiduciary-counselor. Am I selling? Absolutely not.. I am going to sit back and observe how this all plays out.

The concept of mini-retirement changed my life. I'm no longer waiting for some retirement paradise when I'm 65. It helps to know how to fund the lifestyle. You know, making money while you sip that piña colada by the beach does help. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.

Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My Husband and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement.

[@Joeknowsball247]

This is true. I'm in my mid 50's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha...

[@Arnold-ic9jg]

Interesting. I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation..

I retired at 55 with $1.4 million in liquid assets and a paid-off property in Hawaii. Now at 57, I have $1.5 million and plan to sell the lot for $400,000. My budget has been $9,200 a month, but we’ve averaged $8,000 even with extensive travel and hobbies. I found similar results with my retirement planner, but I chose to leave a high-stress job. Historically, markets recover within six months to a year, so having one to two years’ worth of cash is wise. I’m considering travel health insurance to save on costs while living abroad part of the year. My main advice is to retire early and remain flexible, focusing on financial literacy and good financial advice.

[@IsraelGarry]

Congratulations! You’re absolutely right! I’m also aiming to retire around 55 or 56. The importance of enjoying those early retirement years when you're most energetic can't be emphasized enough. It's crucial to enter retirement with a solid financial planner, a clear understanding of your actual expenses, and ideally, no debt. Being flexible with spending during market downturns is also key. I'm happy to hear you're enjoying your retirement, and I look forward to joining you soon!

My original retirement plan was to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money. However, high prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

[@StacieBMui]

I’m 77 and still working full time. I do enjoy my work, it provides me with purpose and has secured my financial future. Most people are too eager to retire as early as possible. Even if you do retire early, best to get a part time job for the reasons cited above, as well as following many if not all of the suggestions in this video.

Accurate asset allocation is crucial. Some use hedging or defensive assets in their portfolio for market downturns. Seeking financial advice is vital. This approach has kept me financially secure for over five years, with a return on investment of nearly $1 million.

True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash.

It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

[@rogerwheelers4322]

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

The 375 ignores the state pension, so you need less. Also factor for a 25% drop in expenses after 75. So this reduces what you need to save. How much do you need to pass on to children, if not much then you can eat into the capital and so reducing the amount needed to save. A good message that you need to save and in the most tax efficient way. But the figures quoted are excessive in my opinion. He is a finance person who will make a percentage on what you save so it's in his interest to get you to save more. I'm not saying don't save well into a pension but look deeper into this field to get a more realistic figure

From experience, the hardest part of building up the million is the first 100k. Once you get to the first 100k, each subsequent 100k is much easier and faster because of the compounding effect. The way I got to the 100k was to break it up into 5 years and set myself a goal to save 20k each year. To many even that may be difficult, but it is doable if you are on a reasonable income and are willing to cut back on luxuries for five years.

Why 375? Sounds quite high - other financial advisers recommend 250-even while preserving the original sum in the portfolio … thx

[@Gus-jm7de]

If I want to withdraw £50,000 a year from my retirement savings, and that's 4% of my total savings, I can use a multiplier instead of dividing. The reciprocal of 4% is 25 (1 / 0.04 = 25). So, £50,000 times 25 equals £1,250,000. I think he calls it a rule of thumb, the 'Rule of 375', for monthly withdrawals. It's simple and considers a rough 20% tax, which is practical since I think about spending after taxes.

[@stuartclubb4302]

375 is a 3.2% withdrawal rate designed to terrify you into giving financial planners more of your money and guarantee your kids inherit well. 250 is fine, and most people would be ok with 200 as retirement spending, especially in the UK with “free” healthcare is a parabola that starts winding down as you age.

It’s great to hear different viewpoints and experiences. To be fair, the figures mentioned in the talk were based on the cost of living in London, where expenses can be considerably higher compared to other places in Europe. It’s important to consider regional differences when planning for retirement. Moreover, a key theme of the talk was the importance of being conscious of your own financial journey. The figure of £3,500 isn’t a one-size-fits-all number but rather an example to encourage individuals to invest time in understanding what their own ‘number’ might be-what they personally will need to retire comfortably.

@@StayPositive050 The 4% rule, which this 375 rule is based on, adjusts for inflation. The ideal is you can take 4% out in your first year, and in the 2nd year you take 4% x inflation out the next year, and so on

This talk was in London, so for a comfortable life for a couple, it doesn't sound ridiculous..

[@OneAndOnlyMe]

Outside of expensive metro areas, like London, you can have a comfortable life on just £2,000 a month (if you outright own your home).Some people may not even need that much if their homes are small and use less energy, and if they don't own a car, etc.

[@sbkpilot1]

375 is 3.2% WR not 4%

[@Gus-jm7de]

Imagine you want to withdraw £50,000 each year from your retirement savings, and this amount represents 4% of your total savings. Instead of dividing, you can use a multiplier. The reciprocal of 4% (which is 0.04) is 25 (1 / 0.04 = 25). So, when you multiply £50,000 by 25, you get £1,250,000. The 'Rule of 375' seems to use the same idea but for monthly withdrawals and it also roughly considers a 20% tax.

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

[@NoorFrohock]

The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

[@PhilomenaCopple]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

Don't forget to BACK OUT pension/annuity income (and for US citizens/expats, Social Security) from your monthly income needs. Otherwise, for example, a couple who now spend $10K /month would need a whopping $3.75 Million according to the formula of 375.

High prices for everything have severely affected my plan of retiring. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

[@JacobsErick-u8r]

It's recommended to save at least 20% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 20% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of investing in the stock market and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

[@MattsMkia]

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

[@winifred-k9e]

He touched slightly on it (and I mean by only mentioning it by saying go talk to someone else...) but $3500 a month will get you just about nowhere in 30 years.
