    In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to have a solid understanding of how to manage your finances, invest wisely and navigate economic downturns. But my primary concern is how to grow my reserve of $240k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game, but with my savings are lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, I need a remedy.

      If you need advice, consider speaking with a financial advisor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it on your own, but financial advisors have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.

    It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

      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.

      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.

    We experienced the peak of our era, and now it is gone. Recession is tanking everything including 401K. My retirement equities portfolio of $750K is in the reds. I keep losing because of inflation. This world will fall to the corrupt rulers in the same way that Rome did. I'm sorry if you're thinking about retiring and you're worried that your pension won't be enough to meet the rising cost of living. Horrible foreign policies everywhere, bad regulatory policy, bad fiscal policy, and bad energy policy.

The stock market's volatility, coupled with a reduced income, is making me anxious about having enough for retirement.

    • @martingiavarini

      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've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

    THANKS. Just what I needed to watch. My wife and I got a 400k HELOC from our 780k primary home which we are still paying a mortgage for. I want to only use 200k for this new duplex down payment. I realized that the secret to making millions is making better investments and staying out of debt.
    I'm grateful to GOD for the internet space, we were able to join the credit repair program, we payed up our debt and now we are back to being the administrators of our farming business and our own properties, as well as small pensions.
    1 am almost 56, my wife is 52. We have started saving for retirement from the farm and maybe live off rental income, I would really appreciate it if you would do a video on how to earn using Airbnb and retire comfortably.

      I agree with your sentiment about not counting on it, but Social Security should exist when you are 65. The only way it won't is if the government gives a lump-sum payment and then switches the mandatory 6.2% (plus the 6.2% employer match) directly into a 401k. I don't see that happening. Due to inflation, that money won't do much. What would be really interesting is if 100% of the Social Security money was just used to pay for senior healthcare. No Medicare, no plan B, but no money either, just free healthcare for seniors at 65 years of age.

      Holding fixed-income assets in tax-deferred retirement funds as opposed to taxable accounts has additional advantages. If you don't know how to invest in the market, get some advice from a financial counselor.

    At 40 I got divorced with four teenagers. I took on extra W2 work and grew my side hustle into a small business that could support me and my children. I actively worked on getting out of debt and creating a one year emergency fund. This took about five years total. I contributed what I could to my IRA during this time. Got remarried to someone who was also a lower income single parent. We also built his side construction business into a full time business which he worked on the side of his law enforcement career. We both worked a day job and ran our side business while paying off the house, and then we started saving aggressively into our retirement accounts and cash accounts, CDs money markets. We are now able to retire comfortably at 55 and 67. We started over at 40 and 53. Not ideal, but it can be done. It was hard work but I’m glad we did it. We will now have some dignity in our retirement.

But I’m currently on a long unpaid maternity leave as the breadwinner. It is something I would never have been able to afford if I wasn’t in the position that following the Ramsey plan helped put us in. Now that I’m close to going back to work, I’m thinking about how to buckle down and “catch up” on some of the goals that took a back seat while we prepared for and had our baby
