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.

As an investing enthusiast, I've kept aside a good sum of capital to invest for financial independence and early retirement, but my concern right now is the market rally being propaganda. Is this a good time to buy stocks, or do I wait for the crash?

What you don't realize and I know because I retired at 28 (as a multi-millionaire) and I am 41 now, is that eventually you get bored and want to work again. I have been to 59 countries, been back to 20% of them multiple times, did everything I wanted.. Now I am just bored, looking to work to feel needed, not for the money, that people will call me, that I am adding value to people that I feel part of something.. You have been retired for a short time.. but you will see..

It's estimated that Americans will need more than $1 million to retire comfortably, but I found most of us aren’t bullish about meeting that goal. I’ve been sitting on over $750K equity from a home sale and I want to invest on the stock market, how do I achieve this?

[MarvishaN]

Everyone's situation is different. I am seeing lots of older people, like 70+ doing Uber and food delivery. It is so crazy to see many older people still having to work just to buy food, pay rent and majorly to meet their basic needs.. Dont want that to be me! I'm so concerned that the rising inflation may lead my entire $982k retirement funds to lose value. Where else could we put our cash?

Gotta be the most honest dude on YouTube.

I've done all of these basics, but my portfolio is still in great decline. I have lost over $200K in the stock market, and now I'm desperately trying to improve my portfolio. How do I turn tide around?

I'm officially retired now as a millionaire and I'm not even joking. Yes, I was a tech lead. I've just had enough of corp. bullshit.

[JACKNASTY_]

New TechLead is unexpectedly the best version. The amount of truth this man speaks is incredible

[edward.abraham]

People grappling with the difficulty of meeting essential expenses often encounter this situation due to inadequate savings during their working years. The decisions taken in readiness for retirement carry extensive consequences, as demonstrated within my own family dynamics. Differing investment approaches yielded disparate results. Guided by a financial advisor, I'm currently retired.

6:17 Interesting point - going from 2 days per week free time to 7 days per week free time = "3.5X increase in lifespan". Very true. Re-define 'living' and 'lifespan'. When we are young, we will will sacrifice any amount of time for even one more dollar; but when we are old, we will sacrifice any amount of money for even one more day...

Sometime I can’t really tell whether he is serious or is he joking.

I say "I have to work" so I can avoid people.

[SouthFloridaDoingLife]

I'm glad you reminded us that you're still a millionaire🤪😜, enjoy your life and be sure not to waste your time in moving on big guy😊

Techlead always delivers what I'd like to call it "truth in satirical but also plain hurtful form". Enjoy your quality time as we did these 10 mins

[schrgab]

You absolutely nailed it! This is what I have been doing/telling people/exercising for more than two decades now. It's so lonely "at the top". The problem is everyone else "working"and not having time to do something really meaningful as you described in the video. Actually, the way I got out (connecting with people) is to get back to UNI because they are you find people that have "time ".

“A taste of freedom can make a person unemployable”. Good for you man, enjoy

[masoncdyer]

Honestly this channel’s just getting better

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation.
