[@peterhoffman8525]

When a person plans for retirement, it is vital that he knows what his expenses are at that moment and what they will become later. Choosing to spend $6000 per month now will not necessarily mean that all those expenses will increase due to inflation. Meals out may naturally decrease as well as gasoline to get to work and professional wear for the office. Family weddings, school loans and mortgage may be paid off before retirement. Travel may start out at a frequent rate but decrease within a few years. Not only will these expenses not increase but will likely decrease or disappear completely.

If you don't work between 62 and 66 then SS will actually pay a SMALLER amount because the SS calculation will be based on 4 additional years of no income.

[@TheFirstRealChewy]

It will be higher. Your social security benefit is based on your highest, 35 years of work income adjusted for inflation. So if you work for 45 years will will only look at the highest 35 years and ignore the rest. It won't matter if they don't work from 62 to 67 because because it doesn't remove any of existing years of work history. To get the most social security benefit you want to have a high income for 35 years. Age 67 is the full retirement age for most people. So you get your full social security benefits at that age. If they collect it at age 62 then they get 70% of the benefit they would have gotten if they waited, and they are locked in. However, it still adjusts due to inflation (COLA) each year.

Assume a PV of $1,000,000, an i of 5%, a g of 2.5%, and n = 20 to start. The i value is your monthly rate of return or 5%/12, g is the monthly inflation rate or 2.5%/12, and n is the number of months you expect to live or 20*12 = 240. Play around with numbers to get a worst and best-case guess. Good luck!

Assuming $550k, One could start withdrawing at 62 and have $4100 per month coming in which includes SS. Considering no mortgage or other debt, that seems like plenty to kick around to me.

[@sct4040]

I am taking SS at 63. The break even age is approx 80, and I am female (longevity). May take 4% from my 403b, so my stocks can grow.

[@M22Research]

…Might have missed the point of the video.

[@dumbharrymeghan9464]

why at 63? Every year you wait garners a social security increase of 8% until age 70.5 and then there's no benefit to waiting. Of course, if you have one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel, then take it asap.

[@M22Research]

@@dumbharrymeghan9464 while I agree in principle on waiting unless you expect an early death, not to split hairs but I believe the annual benefit gain of 8% is for the years from full retirement age (66 to 67) until 70. The annual benefit gain for the years from 62 to full retirement age is about 1% less than 8% per year.

[@dumbharrymeghan9464]

@@M22Research True, that 8% increase I mention is from your full retirement age. However, by taking early (before full retirement age) you're also taking a permanent reduction in benefits that you'll never recover NO matter how long you live. It's an individual decision and if you're ill or do not expect to live long, then you may want to take it early or as soon as you're at full retirement age. However, IF YOU CAN WAIT and are still working or have other retirement income to rely upon, why not get the 8% increase and just wait till 70.5 and then get the max benefit you're ever going to get. It's not that easy to get a consistent 8% in this or any market unless you're willing to take risk and many are unwilling or unable.

[@M22Research]

@@dumbharrymeghan9464 ‘not sure what your debate with my comment is - I agreed for most people who have another source they can tap, waiting is a good thing. But the 8% claim is not accurate for the timeframe from FRA to age 70.

Well, if you want to live that lifestyle, if ssa is $20k/yr, you will still need $52k/yr pulled from that account. If you make little interest, it might only last 10-12 years. Either live much cheaper or keep working.

[@walterbrown8694]

It all depends on what your INCOME will be - $6000 /mo = $72000/yr. Do you have a plan that will provide you with that income ? When I retired some 30 years ago, I planned on income from my pension, social security, and investment income. I also have a rather miniscule amount from interest on savings. This is one of those times when the arithmetic we learned in school (1940s for me) might come in handy. My advice - Run the nu,mbers - It's not rocket science.

[@ChrisBird1]

Good financial advice ..but been Obese will mean you don't need as much money as you will statistically die younger . Is this factored into your future plans? or are you only thinking millions of $$$$$$ Health is THE most important factor in future planning . I am no Dr nor a financial advisor ..But I am logical.. and I am not obese and I am not a millionaire ,but I did semi retire at 36, thats 14 wonderful years ago and I should have enough money and health to move forward a few more decades with a smile .All the best .

For people with more than $44k annual income in retirement, they will be taxed on up to 85% of their social security income. Their Medicare premiums will be higher also. It’s not pretty and you have to plan for it.
