Retire Comfortably
Several years ago I spoke at a well attended real estate investment conference. The demographic makeup of the attendees was all over the chart. It was a truly eclectic gathering. After my turn for speaking was over, several people asked if I sit with them and shoot the breeze, plying me with donuts and coffee. Somebody surely told what a cheap date I am. It ended up being around 20 of us in one of the break rooms.
Turns out they were interested in something I said in passing about retirement income and income taxes. See, I often pandora murano glass beads 100% genuine wonder aloud about the seemingly oxymoronic statement made by some, insisting they will show us how to well while magically lowering our tax bracket significantly. Up about 10 years ago, I kept my professional thoughts on that assertion relatively private, only explaining my position and assessment of that statement to clients. Then, off the cuff one day at small professional gathering in Phoenix, I commented on the essence of that tenet. In a nutshell, I thought it was an excellent example of Pandora Valentine's Day the working definition of oxymoronic.
It begs the question: Just what do some people define as well for Heaven sake?
How Americans Are Retiring
My cynical side tells me they want us to compare our potential retirement income level to our parents and grandparents experience. Well, holy crap on a cracker BigGuy, I sure hope you can help me navigate to a better ending than the retirement hell so many Boomers are living. Ten thousandmoms dads a day every day are having their 65th birthdays. Wanna know what the average balance is in their so called retirement account at work? Usually less than $100,000. Gee I wonder if they experience the luxury of a lower income tax bracket in retirement?
At what point do we question the logic of that advice?
Typically, Americans tell me their plans have them retiring at 65, give or take. many of would love to retire around 4:30 yesterday afternoon. That was in fact the consensus at the impromptu group chat at the aforementioned conference. That when I posed this question:
Is it reasonable to expect to create more than $3 4,000 in monthly retirement income if you have 15 35 years andsufficient discipline and capital to invest?
The response wasn immediate. They never really given serious thought to that question. Ask yourself, though. Why is that? It my contention after hearing from literally thousands of people, that they bought the be in a lower tax bracket crappola hook, line, and sinker. Combine that with their parents experience, pandora rings on sale valentine sale for women which they see firsthand, and that belief seems wholly reasonable. Add to that their own experience, and well, they pretty much drink the Kool Aid at that point, purposefully or not.

What Sort of Retirement Income is Reasonable to Pandora Valentine's Day Bracelet Expect?
A loaded question if there ever was one, right? There no one right answer, as so many factors come into play. How old are ya? Married? Kids? What the household income? Can you save money each month, or is the budget too tight now? Do you rent or own where you live? Do you have savings now? Enough to begin a modest investment plan? Do you live up to your kneecaps or your eyeballs? How your credit? And the list is almost endless.
If you counting on your 401k at work, you be fortunate to end up with even mid six figures as a balance as you drive away from the office for the last time. Even with half a million bucks, your income will very likely be no more than $20 30,000 a year and that before the tax guys knock pandora valentine Charms with Accents on your door. with that balance you be in a pretty small minority of retirees. In the end, most will end up cannibalizing their retirement principal long before they reach the end of the road. |
