My original retirement plan was to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money. However, high prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

I came across your channel through this video—case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.

Am 58 retiring next year but the thought of retirement gives me weakness. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you never imagined to happen. It’s so difficult for people who are retired and have no savings or loved ones to fall back on.

I’m closing in on retirement, and I'd love to move from Minnesota to a warmer climate, but home prices are ridiculous now.. do I look at other assets and wait for housing crash, or go ahead with house purchase anyways?

Food for thought: Place a sizable portion of your capital/savings in fixed-income securities like treasury bills, corporate bonds, government securities, debentures and let it grow. It will take you far I promise.

what can I do? I have been disabled since 2009 and I am 58 years old at the verge of retirement. My portfolio of $750k is down to $492k, How can I profit from the present market", I mean I've heard of people making up to $250k in couple weeks during this crash and I'd like to know how.

This is a PRIME example for all of us to SAVE & INVEST while you're young in order to retire comfortably and not have to worry about money. Being young and broke is fine because you can bounce back...being old and broke is extremely hard. Happy investing everyone!

Well, I feel investors should be focusing on under-the-radar stocks, and considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered and I don't know where to go here out of devastation.

Enough to retire? That depends on how long you live. I'm 71 and 1/3 of my classmates are gone, several NEVER drew a nickel SS.

This lady sounds more intelligent than most people. Most definitely can make some money from home even if it's just remote customer service. I know people that do this and love it.

Our society is trying to have people work till the day they die!

$600-700 per month? Can I retire? Sure, in the Philippines.

[TerryCollinsPLifestyle]

Love that. There is hope because you are still breathing and hope because you are paying attention

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.

He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart...
I then went and rented a projector in a big field and my entire town watched it and it changed their lives too...
We all are so grateful...
Thank You for this video...

There is always the roommate option to help for a while. It could be more than just financial assistance. Home upkeep, cooking, ride share, someone to talk to if you want……

Smart vester pro is not even talk with her given her small portfolio or they will charge her more than monthly budget. Atleast thats my experience.
