- 🌟 Retirement Planning at 50 || Are You Ready to Retire? 🌟
As we reach the milestone of 50, we often find ourselves reflecting on our accomplishments and contemplating the future. Retirement becomes a prominent topic, with questions like, "Am I financially prepared?" and "Have I done enough to secure a comfortable retirement?" lingering in our minds.
Retirement planning is a crucial aspect of our financial journey, and at this stage of life, it deserves our utmost attention. Whether you're excitedly looking forward to retiring or unsure about the next steps, it's essential to evaluate your preparedness and take proactive measures. Here are some key considerations:
1️⃣ Evaluate your financial health: Take a comprehensive look at your current financial situation, including savings, investments, and outstanding debts. Assess whether your savings and investments align with your retirement goals and make adjustments if necessary.
2️⃣ Estimate your retirement income needs: Analyze your expected expenses during retirement, considering factors like healthcare costs, travel plans, and leisure activities. Calculating your retirement income needs will help you determine how much you need to save and if any adjustments are required in your current financial strategy.
3️⃣ Maximize your retirement contributions: Take full advantage of retirement savings vehicles like 401(k)s, IRAs, or pension plans. At 50, you can make additional catch-up contributions, allowing you to accelerate your retirement savings.
4️⃣ Diversify your investments: As you approach retirement, it's crucial to reassess your investment portfolio. Consider shifting towards a more conservative asset allocation to protect your savings while maintaining growth potential.
5️⃣ Explore healthcare options: Healthcare costs can be a significant expense during retirement. Familiarize yourself with Medicare and supplemental insurance options.
6️⃣ Create a retirement budget: Develop a realistic budget that aligns with your retirement goals and income projections. Consider factors such as living expenses, leisure activities, and potential unexpected expenses. A well-planned budget can help you maintain financial stability and enjoy your retirement years to the fullest.

Retired at 52 baby. That was over 6 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Plan is to take SS at 62. If the markets return an average of more than 3.5% I can delay that date. So far this year the market (I use S&P500 as my benchmark) has done much better than 3.5%! Life is good.
I am also the computer guy :)
The problem with the 4% or 2.3% or whatever percent withdrawal rate you look at is that these rates, too, can and should be variable depending on your needs. You mentioned "going back to work at 85" because you can't keep taking out the same amount....but data shows that during the "no-go" years you really don't spend as much. Like you said, staying on budget early in retirement and protecting your retirement nest egg for early retirees is key. The Rule of 55 (or 72T) and SS are huge bend points for early retirees. If at least half of your nest egg can last to at least FRA, most folks that actually do pre-planning will be golden.
Great comment Dave!
2.3% also doesn’t account for the RMDs. I may be mistaken but I believe at 73 my RMDs will be well in excess of 2.3%, more like 4.21%.
2.3% seems really low. Would last 43+ years, assuming inflation and market returns wash, also doesn’t factor social security.
Thanks for watching!
Great information.
Glad it was helpful!
If I had SS I could retire earlier than I think, but because I work for the state and no WEP/GPO repeal I might have to work longer. At least my spouse will have a regular benefit.
Go go jepi retired at 400k. Living off dividends. Good months reinvest the extra back. Bad month few less beers at the catina.
IMHO, the CZcams retirement influencers need produce do a hypothetical SSI break even video. This would be for projected SSI for a 62 year old with a projected (promised?) FRA benefit of $3K who would receive the non-reduced benefit if they take SS between 62-66 years BUT if taken between 67-70 they have a 25% reduction. So the new FRA benefit (near 2030-33) is reduced to $2250/month. This will become an important planning consideration.
Wow, great idea 💡
Just here to say, "GO SOX" :)
I see you Rob
Seems most of us will never retire. 4% withdrawal rate is too much...ok. so 2.3% is a safe withdrawal rate. Even with a million dollars thats ....thats poverty level. SS will help for sure, but even so your still not living a good life. I may be off my rocker but Im not working for 40, 50 yrs to eat hamburger helper out of my mobile home.
Agreed
not realistic @ 50
What is not realistic, planning?
Over achiever broccoli eater. Only if my wife cooks it. This is why I want 2 million so it’s a 3% plan and not 6%.
Eat that 🥦 !
These examples are Way too high! How many of US have $1,000,000 at 50? If they Do I doubt they take financial advice from Utube? These examples don't help most of us?
Hey Joseph! I have plenty of examples that are much much lower. Feel free to check out our full catalog! Thanks for commenting
400k in my 401k at age 36! I work in a warehouse as well. 19 more years until I can call it quits.
