Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.

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.
@NorthCarolinaForward2 ай бұрын
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.

Retired at 48 and moved abroad! My retirement savings just tripled, figuratively. The cost of living in Baja, Mexico is about a third of what it is in California save gasoline and few other items. I bought a house outright and my fixed monthly expenses are under USD 300. I am 50 miles south of San Diego, CA and just couple a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean. The community is an enclave for American expats. A comparative house located in a private resort community with 27 hole golf course and 24 hour security in San Diego would set me back over 3 million USD. I have the view and access to the same Pacific Ocean for a fraction of the cost. Moving abroad to a country with lower cost of living is an option worth exploring!!

I've tried early half retirement at 49 and it wasn't as great as I thought. (I contract so I can spend as much time off as I want). Here was my take and I tried it a few times as I posted to my own subscribers. I was a physical therapy contractor and at times still am. But three times I went overseas to exit out of the workforce. Each time was four months. The first few weeks were great. Then I started sleeping later and later. Finally it got to the point where I was going to bed at 3:00 am and getting up at noon. You can only train in the gym so long and see the castles and temples so many times. Even living in Gdansk, Poland on the Baltic beach----you take that walk down the beach---again. And I had no purpose. Even though I was in the beginnings of making my own videos and setting up the channel I still had 7-8 hours of down time a day. And I don't go to clubs and bars so that left a whole lot of idleness. End point--a human feels the best when there is a purpose. I used to work with the elderly and can tell you that they have a lot of depression once their role in life is gone besides that fishing trip---again. I think I'll also have a part time gig whether it is becoming the almighty influencer or being a part time physical therapist. My mental soundness is far better with a role to play than when I was on permanent vacation. Hope that helps someone out there--Charles

But if it's only for browsing, making calls, texts, and general basic needs then it will work great. Cost me 200 CAD Taxes included, with a ''Otterbox Commuter'' and a screen protector (All those for 200) TO me it was a no-brainer and a steal.

My spouse and I retired at 60. We hadn't planned to, but, fortunately we had been debt free throughout our marriage and were able to invest money, (both of us had good paying jobs). The key for us was to only purchase things when we had saved up the cash. Now 6 yrs in (retirement), we live very well. It does take a well laid out plan and great discipline to achieve this kind of lifestyle, but it is so worth it.

I am an engineer and I know linemen who make more than me so all the comments saying that he retired because he was an engineer is not right. Also, this guy seem super frugal and happy about it. If you can get into that essentialist mentality, this may work. Some people who can afford to retire early don’t do it because they don’t have any hobbies or other interests. So, if you don’t have activities to occupy your time, early retirement is not worth it.
