*ABOUT ME*

I’ve always been passionate about personal finance, investing, real estate, and helping people find the freedom to live their life with purpose. But when my dad died in 2015, I tried to help my Mom find an advisor to sort out her finances. Instead of a helping hand, I found an industry of financial advisors dominated by glorified salespeople working on commission — pushing products that were not in my mother’s best interest. Or advisors with minimums that shut-out all but the ultra wealthy. Disappointed with the options, I took matters into my own hands and launched Foundry Financial, a wealth management firm with transparent pricing that specializes in helping provide clarity around money — so you have the confidence to make smart decisions.My goal is to help a million people retire without worry!

📅 *THE BASICS OF RETIREMENT PLANNING*

Retirement planning has several steps, with the end goal of having enough money to quit working and do whatever you want. Our goal is to help people master retirement and retire without worry.

Step 1: Know when to start retirement planning. When should you start retirement planning? The earlier you start planning, the more time your money has to grow. That said, it’s never too late to start retirement planning. Even if you haven’t so much as considered retirement, don’t feel like your ship has sailed. Every dollar you can save now will be much appreciated later. Strategically investing could mean you won't be playing catch-up for long.

Step 2: Figure out how much money you need to retire, The amount of money you need to retire is a function of your current income and expenses, and how you think those expenses will change in retirement.

Step 3: Prioritize your financial goals. Retirement is probably not your only savings goal. Lots of people have financial goals they feel are more pressing, such as paying down credit card or student loan debt or building up an emergency fund.Generally, you should aim to save for retirement at the same time you're building your emergency fund — especially if you have an employer retirement plan that matches any portion of your contributions.

Step 4: Choose the best retirement plan for youA cornerstone of retirement planning is determining not only how much to save, but also asset allocation. It can make a massive difference in your retirement plan.

Step 5: Select your retirement investments. Retirement accounts provide access to a range of investments, including stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Determining the right mix of investments depends on how long you have until you need the money and how comfortable you are with risk. It’s often helpful to talk with an adviser to discover the right mix of stocks and bonds.

It’s a balance, if you don’t spend money and enjoy retirement early, you’ve squandered the time and can’t get it back. The vast majority of us spend less and less the later in retirement.

I’ve seen far too many retirees fret over money and don’t enjoy anything and die very early.

It’s truly a balance that is very individual. No one size fits all.

Great video!

Great advice. Im so glad to be retired with most of those ideas in place. Peace of mind

I project to 100

We keep multiple years of expenses in cash equivalent so we don't withdraw into down markets

We have been keeping expense records going back decades so our cashflow need projections are pretty accurate within reason

We build in several contingencies in our plans to ride out some unknowns

This video was really excellent. I especially liked the way you explained #2. Do you have a video that explains the importance of having a more balanced allocation while in retirement?

I am 58, single divorced, retired, debt free, lives in Las Vegas and Manila (50/50).

Question. How do i choose bonds for my mom. She no longer can do this. Its up to me to be a good steward of her money

[augustwest]

After I retired I moved my tax deferred IRA from a 100% S&P 500 index fund to VBIAX. For my Roth IRA I am staying with the 100% S&P 500 Index fund because my goal is to let it ride and will pass it on to my children as beneficiaries.

I agree with this video. There is a difference in investing for retirement and investing in retirement. If investing in the nasdaq 100, you would not want the nasdaq 100 dropping 40% the year before you retire. How would you advise transitioning from growth to asset preservation before retirement to prevent this?

[glenn]

I didn't hear anything about dividends.

Right off the bat in this video...95 y/o is kind of ridiculous For the vast population. The constant rise of cancer, diabetes, CAD, etc.. I get what you're saying, and yes...plan farther.. But Maybe 90, but 95+?

[mdevorah]

Lol... im.looking to 160!!!
86 is way too soon..

[ryanchinh]

I retired at 35 years old last year 2023.

[miragexl]

Absolutely right about inflation... Or biden type years In the future
