People are facing a tough retirement. and it's even harder for workers to save due to low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire in.

Ages 75 and 74. I retired at 63 and 9 months from teaching high school after the second student threatened my life with a gun. I had the time in and the age to get out, and I did. The wife went to 65 for Medicare. It is now 10 years later. We live in our mortgage free downsized home in the mountains, no car payments, low property taxes and no HOA fees. We have a reasonable nest egg and pretty much live off our SS and retirement from both our jobs. This situation allows us to take 2-3 trips/cruises per year, drive our 15 yo Corvette on day trips, eat out at modest restaurants once a week and generally enjoy life. Yes, we each have some moderate medical issues which slows us down somewhat, but hey, that’s life. We plan to leave the kids our mortgage free home to sell after we depart and what is left of our nest egg. That’s our plans and we’re sticking to it!

I believe the retirement crisis will get even worse. Many struggle to save due to low wages, rising prices, and exorbitant rents. With homeownership becoming unattainable for middle-class Americans, they may not have a home to rely on for retirement either.

Retirement is now more difficult than it was in the past. I've been saving for a long time instead of investing, and right now I only have about $400K. considering all the inflation, i'm thinking of investing in stocks, i dont just have idea on market strategies.

[gregoryspitzer]

I'd rather be old and financially comfortable regretting things I didn't do than old and destitute remembering the fun times.

It’s recommended to save at least 20% 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 that percentage can ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. You can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

I’m now 69 and my spouse is in his 80’s. We are wanting to travel and see family more however my spouses health isn’t good so we can’t do what we planned. We must stay close to home and our kids live a long way. This is so frustrating for us both.

I'm 57 and retired last year, though I still work on a part-time basis. It brings in extra money, keeps me in touch with my coworkers and maintains a feeling of self-worth. Like anything else, preparation is important, have an idea of what you want to do in your "golden years". Along with money, I can attest that finding hobbies and maintaining social relationships are very important.

Didn’t have a kid until I was 42, I am 62 now. Plan to retire in 2 years when I am done paying his college. Still healthy, no debt including the house.

Retired at 55 with absolutely *zero regrets, * and real estate has everything to do with it. Saved every penny when younger and invested in SFR's so I have an income stream, rather than a pile of money that might run out. I don't feel I missed out on anything when younger, "I lived life", military, school then career, all while having fun! I have had a lot of good luck. Your mileage may vary. Great advice in the video.

We are 76 and 84. When we "downsized" we moved to senior independent living housing where we pay rent. We chose a residence where there was no massive buy-in fee. Our "rent" includes the apartment, all utilities, free cable, free Wi-Fi, two meals per day, cleaning weekly along with bed changes and laundry of linens. No yard work! No home maintenance! No shoveling snow! No cooking! These were all things we didn't want to do anymore. We have amenities like group outings, games, an in-house library and salon, and much more.
We don't have a million bucks, but we're close, and it turns out we don't need a million to live this way. It's not for everyone, but it's something worth exploring.

Heading to Retirement? Keep it simple - Walk everyday - if you have your health, can pay ur bills, you have enough to do whatever you want - Just go do it! before its too late, You really dont need purpose - you need Health and money lol. You were told ur purpose since you were kid, - you had to have purpose when you had a family . Well Its time to detox from purpose. Just dig being Care Free. And Enjoy the privilege of being retired.

I just switched up my Roth IRA to 50% SCHD, 25% SCHX, 25% SCHG, and my Roth 401k is 70% vanguard S&P 500 index, 20% vanguard growth index, and 10% vanguard international index. Seeking best possible ways to grow $350k into $1m+ before retirement, I'm 55.

No regrets yet Jerry! I vowed not to work until I was just about dead! I retired at 62 (I just turned 65) and my wife and I are going to try and spend all our time enjoying however many years we have left! Thanks for your great videos.

Lost their sense of purpose…. I’m selfish, my purpose is to do whatever I want to do. Retired 5 years ago at 57 and haven’t ever wondered what my purpose was.

[mthelouvre]

I have to wait until 65 years old because I can't pay for the insurance m employer offers.

[MarcelMcGowan]

Recently, I've been pondering retirement. I've also invested $800K on S&P 500 so i could secure my financial future. i need an approach to invest in Stocks like Nvidia stocks and ofcourse AI stocks that will align with my risk tolerance and financial goals but it seem to be bearish right now.

Retired at 66, 11 years ago.I’m glad I was a saver because now I have the means to do what I please. I’m posting this from Iceland and I’m here because I felt like it. So far I haven’t had to pass up anything because I couldn’t afford it.

[mikeeno]

I am 62 years old. Plan to retire at 65. I have lived and did most of the things I wanted when I wanted and saved for retirement to continue my life style far far beyond 65. With the grace of god a bit of luck, I am very healthy and look forward to my retirement. Oh moving from NH to SC (midlands) for retirement. Love your videos, keep them coming...

[topper]

I’m 66 and retired two years ago at 64. I do plan on moving to SC someday. My Mom is now of advanced age and I choose to stay in NY longer to take care of her. I burn between 700 -1000 calories per day, exercise between 60 - 120 minutes per day, stand at least 12 years and cover between 5-9 miles per day. God willing someday I’ll make my move and enjoy what time God has in store for me. Great videos Jerry. I will be contacting you when the time comes.
