Can you explain what a 457b Roth retirement plan is, how it works, and what are benefits and draw backs?

I'd have to agree, spending all his savings on just opening the business is crazy at his age. Open a business by all means if you want but spend a fraction. It's hard to get a new biz started. I know by experience.

Based on the comments I can tell why a lot of people live average lives and why a lot of people are mediocre. Solid advice from Dave as if he buys the business outright now he’ll be broke with only a building and he’ll need more than 13k to purchase tools and equipment etc.

[@nilsjohansson9739]

Build a garage behind your house, build a website and buy your tools. Be a dagum neighborhood garage with zero overhead and get r dun!

Day trade and then double it in Vegas. Then take 1/4th and put back in retirement. Fund three businesses with the rest.

This guy seems pretty clueless on the capital it takes to start a business and own a commercial property. $13k margin for living expenses is gone in a week if the roof leaks.

[@uluvnic]

Yeah I was pretty shocked that he wanted to spend so much on a building with only $13k to work with. Its suicide. He can even be a mobile mechanic and come to people since he's only doing the simple stuff. $13k sounds more like a small emergency fund

[@rayj.9568]

The host really went in on this caller. He asked him several times was someone trying to sell him a franchise. Then he asked did he just dig this business idea up from the internet. His advice to the caller seems solid though.

No, no, NO. A 401K is for retirement, not risking it on a business

[@blackworldtraveler3711]

So many using 401k/IRA like a savings/checking account and taking out loans never made sense to me. Some of the very same people that say social security will run out in their lifetime. Going to be many broke people with puny retirement savings working until they die.

Now if you were turning wrenches in your garage and were somewhat established in the service point then maybe you could roll the dice. And you are speaking to someone who did something similar....

[@captainfailtv]

The building owner would be foolish to pass it up. Why would pass up 2 years of rent plus $120k for the building.

He probably needs the money to cover other investment so he doesn't lose everything.

Nowadays we can not speculate of how a business be successful. With the virus going on we can not be in a rush to go into a business. It takes a lot of careful planning.

[@1.5Koreans0.5American]

Find a business that requires less money. Thanks to technology, there are a lot of ways. That’s what I’m trying to do👍

[@RonJones_eVisibleMarketing]

Technology has allowed for specialization. Some folks can sit in front of a computer all day, and make a profit on selling intangibles, or drop shipping goods from whatever country manufactures them, direct to the American consumer (as we no longer manufacture anything but debt-based, fiat currency). Some, like the caller, might prefer to start a business that actually makes or fixes things. These businesses typically require higher capital expenditures to buy equipment.

Personally for me (not saying it’s right or wrong), but stocks & running a business are both gambling. I wouldn’t do it unless I know it’s money that I could afford to loose. I would not become a landlord unless I could buy that house with my “extra” cash. . I will NEVeR gamble my financial peace for a chance to become wealthy.

Self directed retirement cannot be invested in self or family interest, no?

[@JesseTurnerLifeLongLearner]

Right? I thought this video would address this strategy; maybe weigh the pros and cons and give some tips. Instead it jumped to several conclusions with little context. I'm considering using mine (a portion of mine) for the down payment of an SBA backed loan. Leverage. And it will need to be a C Corp.

[@COINsimp2024]

I can tell you that if you don't have the money to start the business, you don't have the money to run the business.

[@ChrisDERUNNER]

To achieve a secure retirement, aiming to save at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) is advisable. Online tools can assist in calculating the best savings strategy for you, considering factors like age and income. Consistently saving this percentage can help build your retirement fund effectively, thanks to the benefits of compound interest.

[@santajusta4821]

For me, I believe 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 wife 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.

[@EricLamptey-v1p]

It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $875k by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

[@Michelle_Sanders561]

@@EricLamptey-v1p You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.
