Really enjoyed this video. I'm considering your advice, because thousands of dollars have been disappearing from my 401k due to soaring inflation, and my concern is where to safeguard and grow remaining cash about $500k+ for the next 2-3 years at no risk. I'd love to retire early and afford a life after retirement.

My wife and I live off of our 401K. We don't work. I recommend highly to everyone to build your 401K or Roth IRA's as an alternate revenue stream in retirement to your Social Security. An observation on 401K's is when it gets over 300K it starts to accelerate. When you get over 500K it can really accelerate as the stock market grows.

Investing in Roth IRA can be a good choice since they are funded with after tax dollars, your contributions can grow tax-free over time. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA in retirement, you won’t have to pay tax on it, which will help you keep more of your hard-earned money. I retired with 5 million dollars

Today's inflation is a result of corporate avarice, not only problems with the supply chain. We know that the money obtained by the higher prices isn't being transmitted along the supply chain since businesses are reporting record profits. More pricing result in increased revenue for businesses, which stays with them and goes into their pockets. We can rule out supply-related inflation because of this. If your stocks are extremely weak, now is an excellent opportunity to take a battered 401k and convert it to a Roth. Then, your Roth will be tax-free, and you will just have to pay taxes on the substantially reduced current values.

You can do so by getting an experienced specialist whose platform has diverse investment choices to choose from. By doing this, you give little room for regrets and perhaps gain more.

Hope it does for you. I had to liquidate my HSA over 300K to pay for my sisters home care for cancer. (She died) and my parents long term care dementia. So my HSA is long gone and because of my age I can no longer contribute to an HSA. I was going to use it to pay for my dental check ups and medicare costs which cost me over 10K/yr because my income is too high. Before Obama care I paid 3 K/yr for BluexBlushield was covered for 3 mil 10K deductible. With Obama care my rates went up to 8 K/yr but now as a male I was covered for mammograms, pap smears and Kaitlin surgery. Now with Medicare I pay over 10K/yr. because of my income. IRMMA ect My health has not changed in all these years. I am not on meds and have never spent a day in the hospital. I am going backwards. Luckily I still am able to work 60 hr/wk and that is how I pay for my taxes. always my largest cost. I have paid millions.. and for gas and food. I wish we had a 2 line tax code. If you made under 250K you pay 5% and less you pay what it takes to pay for schools police roads army ect. No deductions. We would not have to hire another 75K IRS workers if we had a simpler tax code. Cant wait to get audited again my the new IRS rookies. The IRS screwed up twice already for me . Unfortunately you have to prove them wrong which takes time and adds costs to ones business. The other problem is our tax code keeps changing so it is hard to plan. In the Biden build back better plan ROTH IRA ARE NOW TAXED if too high no matter what your age. It goes into effect in 2028. Senator Wyden wrote it. It is buried at the end of the bill. You have to read the bill to know what is inside of it.. At least the IRS treats you better than plaintiff attorneys. The legal system needs to be controlled such if the soupeana or sue you they need to automatically pay you if they screw up. Now they sue everyone and hope something sticks.

He works in accordance with my financial goals and my risk tolerance.

Hot take from a retirement pro: The new legislative proposals are missing the mark. Here's what we would want: More tax credits/deductions to lower-income savers. Ditch smaller 401k plans for aggregated ones to lower costs. Make employer matches mandatory for up to 3%. Tax credits/deductions for the cost of hiring a financial advisor, up to a certain limit. Have a "self-directed" option open for all 401k enrollees that want to DIY. Drop the age of penalty-free withdrawals from 59 1/2 to 55 to accommodate early retirees.

The government will then compute how much I own and ask my employer to directly send them money from my salary, so I don't have to. At the end of the year, I will be sent back any overpayement was sent to the tax agency in my name, or I will have to do a payment in installments if I still own something. A middle man is only required if you own a company, because it is much more complex in that case. Oh and there is no penalty if I make a honest mistake, except if it is blatant fraud.

How 401ks work... Short answer, they don't work and rarely are sufficient for a decent life in retirement. Longer answer - they are a terrible vehicle for retirement savings as fees are too high and growth is too unpredictable. 401k contributions and growth should be tax free FOREVER, not just tax deferred. The only true positive of 401ks is an employer match if offered. IRAs are better as fees can be lower and there are more investment options.

No 6% is the max. All it means that is that they're competitive against companies who offer a smaller match or no 401K match at all (usually startups). It sucks bc EVERY company should offer 401K matching, especially since Reagan's tax reforms forced companies to ditch pensions in favor of 401K.

There's been talk of making some of the children-based ones done throughout the year. I'm curious - how do other countries distribute the money? Is it direct deposited, mailed, etc.? I ask because when people file their taxes, we're given an option of how to receive the refund (if we get one), and an issue I've seen both when I worked in tax prep and with the pandemic stimulus money is that there is not a common consensus for how people receive money. We have many people who for whatever reason don't have bank accounts, or when the checks are mailed, the person may not be at that address anymore. And that's for a once-per-year payment. How do they do it elsewhere for regular payments?

The future is flat-fee financial advice. That way, you don't have to pay 1% or more of your investments. Over time, the costs savings are gigantic.
