The Surprisingly Hardest Part of Retirement

[@Susanhartman.]

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.

[@ThomasChai05]

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.

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 had initially planned to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money, but the impact of high prices on various goods and services has significantly disrupted my retirement plan. I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am. The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.

I totally understand this. I retired about 6 years ago and can't get out of the mindset of accumulating assets. My portfolio now is worth about 40% more than when I first retired. It didn't increase linearly though, and this didn't help me relax. I am spending money, though, so I'm not so stuck that I can't enjoy myself. But for those of you who haven't yet retired, income taxes, at least for me, are now at least as complicated as they were when I was working. So anyone who hears that taxes will be lower in retirement, don't count on it.

Thank you for your valuable comments. As Dale Carnegie would say, “You have earned the right” to write what you did. It is hard to switch to a spending mindset (fear of running out of money facilitates that). I appreciate your taxes comment. Q: Are there things you want to do/own before you die? (Movie The Bucket List is great). Do them. EG: I am renting two motorhomes this summer for a vacation with my son and his family.

[@rwa8884]

@@JohnSimpson-r5d Thanks. I was ranting. The part about being unable to stop “saving” (technically investing, since I no longer have a salary) is my own behavioral economic problem - although I imagine it’s common. I’m finding my total asset value isn’t really affected by the amounts withdrawn, but rather on market performance. It’s similar to how it was when I was putting money in. At a certain point, it didn’t make a real difference. I think the (psychological) problem with this is lack of control and certainty. But I can’t really complain, as many people have more serious retirement issues. I feel I can complain about taxes, though. I remember listening to an HR presentation about 401k accounts near the beginning of my career. She said that in retirement, since you’d no longer have a salary, you’d likely be in a lower tax bracket, etc. But that’s not the case at all. Also, thanks to the SECURE Act 2.0 and how it changed the way retirement accounts are inherited, these accounts are now about the worst ways (IMO) to leave assets to heirs. These changes occurred after I had already spent years accumulating money in a traditional 401k. Now I wish I had done things differently. Have a nice trip this summer with your family!

[@lazycat7409]

Same here!

[@randolphh8005]

We solved for this by having adequate guaranteed income. Basically good SS checks, a small deferred annuity, a modest LTC policy, options for a reverse mortgage, and a rental property. Thus, we are planning to spend down substantially all our portfolio which is well diversified by age 84. After being retired for 2 years, we realize that we can spend even more than we planned, and we will never run out of money. Our portfolio is modest but more than adequate. We traveled 15 weeks last year, and expect the same this year. The other keys are no debt, and a good budget that fits the resources available.

Absolutely, building a well-diversified portfolio and leveraging various investment instruments is a thoughtful approach to wealth creation. It's clear that you have made significant strides in your financial journey through strategic investing and the guidance of your advisor, Leticia Zavala Perkins. Diversification across different asset classes, including savings accounts, stocks, bonds, and high yield dividend funds, is a key strategy for long-term financial growth and stability.

[@DavidBright-f6c]

Dad was a WW2 Vet. At retirement, he was terrified of running out of money -- he had a paid house and car, but only $25k. His retirement advisor put him in REITs which grew slowly. When mother died at 87 he sold the house and moved into a retirement community. REITs and SS did not keep up with expenses, so he forced his advisor to invest in more risky stocks. He died at 94, still terrified of running out of money and being kicked to the curb -- my brother and I split $420k.

[@user-fr3hy9uh6y]

Five years before I retired, I started working on my own plan. Not being able to predict the future, I set investment rates two percent higher than inflation. I put SSA increases at 75% of my personal inflation. I put the Medicare bracket changes at the same percentage. Finally, I included a decrease in spending as I get older( travel is my most fun). It even calculates my Roth conversions. My solution to the market uncertainty was to plan for a max 5 year downturn to the market before recovery. Every year, I compare current prediction to original and even when things are down. On average, it is meeting the plan. Of course, unless you are an engineer, it is impossible to read😢

[@vernshird711]

I've thought ahead and solved that problem. You fund multiple retirement accounts, each allocation based on when you will need the money. In my case, I'll be drawing on my more conservative 401k first once I retire and stretch it out to age 74. I'll let my agressive 457b grow untouched until RMDs kick in at 75. My rationale is that I won't be bummed about drawing down the 457b, I'll be just thrilled I made it to 75!

[@johnnyretires]

I agree with your comments about the complex retirement plan. I also think that the 30 year retirement plan is sort of like weather forecasting. It’s going to be accurate as long as you constantly change it. A retiree might be able to plan well out to 5-6 years before making changes for market returns, inflation, taxes, expenses, life changes, etc.

[@NormanSmith-m8f]

If possible,the easiest way to not run out of money in retirement is to only withdraw your RMD amount each year. The tables go out to 120 years. The withdrawal amount is also self regulating. If the market goes up you withdraw more and if it goes down the percentage may increase but you’ll probably withdraw less the following year. Not many of us will outlive the tables.

Any plan is based on examining historical events and projecting their statistical probability into the future. There is no "surety" in any plan, and for those of us that understand the concept of a black swan, confidence is not given by a statistically probable outcome, but is a choice. Confidence is nothing but a hard decision that you are going to roll the dice and hope that black swan won't come your way. By the time you are certain, it's too late because that is the definition of knowing for certain what the future holds - that happens only when there is no more future.

I’m sorry to say this, but it’s true. It is time people keep working as long as they possibly can if they’re healthy and then add to other arrangements for those who cannot continue to work there should be a set up in such a way that if they become disabled, that’s what we have disability insurance for and many of the other things to protect them on Social Security those things will have to come in to play for the people who cannot continue to work cause health has gone down the tubes but those arrangements can be made with new Social Security reform but that’s up to our government. It’s got to get off at the damn backside and get moving on these things but I do believe that if you paid in the system whatever you paid into that system you were entitled to whether you get $7000 a month what do you get $10,000 a month over the years in which you paid into the system, you are entitled to what you put into it, and I won’t go against that whatsoever, have a good day sorry to make this so long please forgive any spelling errors and I didn’t edit it.

Long time CFP since 1994. Process for security and peace is to assure your income is bracketed in guaranteed buckets of 5-10 years to fill gap not covered by SS. Other assets left to grow in liquid accounts for “life happens” emergency items or more than expected inflation. This accumulation liquid fund is then tapped once guaranteed bucket is exhausted. Plenty of simple historical data to show how likely this works and can work for most any net worth individual. Key for advisor-keep it simple, stay in touch, and show them year by year the plan is working to alleviate their fears. Once the client gets thru first year or 2, anxiety (if any) drops tremendously

[@DevinCarroll]

That's an interesting approach and I can see how it would give a measure of peace. From your observation, what weighting would this typically be in cash/fixed?

[@georgemorris5887]

@@DevinCarroll as in all planning, “it depends”-family life expectancy, legacy goals, and current interest rates. With higher interest rates, you can utilize SPIA’s or Fixed Annuities for the bucket spend down-shift all the bond interest risk to insurance companies. The amount in the end that gets liquidated is between 35-45% with the remaining left to growth over time replacing the majority of spent down assets. Works best if portfolio large enough or income needs modest enough to make first spend down tranche to be 7-10 years which allows for ample time for “grow fund” to replenish what is spent down. Clients love the income certainty and gets their focus off day to day market moves. Analogy I always use “if you are driving from Ohio to Key West and want to know how far it is, you check odometer when you leave and when you arrive to get the total ; you don’t have your spouse hanging out the window counting mile markers on Route 95”. A mix of certain income from SS and annuity that covers income need from start of retirement gives total comfort to let market fluctuations not wreck their dreams. They know between emergency fund and long term growth funds, cash available. I always get a set aside fund as well for home repairs, car, anything they know is coming in first 3 years. Tremendous time spent building the plan finding risk comfort-showing them portfolio starting in 2007 thru 2009;reminding them of risk. If you build good foundation, mixed with my income strategy, clients are pleased and never panic. Proudly say in 2007-9 market crisis, I only had 2 client calls in panic to get out of over 500.

[@stephenbonaduce7852]

It's a little surprising to me that people think working for money is "safer" than being retired. In most places throughout the county, you can be laid off at a whim by any company at any time. In fact, most companies have incorporated continuous layoffs into their business model: you only know you have a job for another year if you make it through the Christmas holidays. They can cut your benefits if they think it makes "business sense" and even deny your unemployment claim. And you could be weeks or even months without an income while you look for work. In retirement, hopefully you've managed to minimize your monthly expenses (home and cars paid off, for example), while you receive a reliable stream of income. The only cloud on the horizon is the potential of health problems--but that's something that can plague anyone at any time. (It shouldn't be a "new" worry that hits you like a ton of bricks.) If you're the kind of person who was able to put together a comfortable retirement during your working life, then if something happens during your "golden years," you should feel confident that you'll do what you've always done: figure something out and DEAL WITH IT.

Devin: what happened to the video of you explaining how you and your wife would collect $5.5 million in SS benefits? I thought you were going to show the math?

[@DevinCarroll]

Recorded that today! It's going to be a good one. Oh...it's actually just over 5.9 million 🤯

I might tackle this projection for myself and partner as well. I hope you look/looked at 'return on investment' as well.

[@sandrawesseln9619]

I agree with all of it. Only scratch the blow boat and make it a big Hattteras sport fish with sail flags run up the outriggers.

[@DevinCarroll]

Haha...that sounds like more fun to me as well!

i am retiring to a self contained homestead. no worries. this vid is extremely fear based. leaving now.

Collect SS at 70. Taking a small check is foolish

[@CD-ql9hz]

Same here. My decision to wait is confirmed every month. The higher benefit covers all my essential expenses. My portfolio can now be invested more aggressively because I’m not dependent upon it.

Sadly Devin due to bidenflation, Covid and other economic issues I wasn’t able to get over $80K at 62, so no early retirement for me

No one should spend 1/3 of their life in retirement. That’s a boomer expectation where they created and executed that fantasy. The rest of us might get 1/5. I have watched my parents get 1/3 to 1/2 of their life living off their grandchildren. Pleases make life realistically. 34T debt most of which is entitlements.

The fear creates a voting power to rob younger people of their lives.

Yea until 2008 comes along and you loose your business your house and get a divorce. Now living in an RV Shit can happen to anyone. So I really dont feel sorry for you.

Dont spend it. Leave it for the kids to fight over. Money... root of all evil

I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?
