so you have a million dollars inside
[2]
your 401k
[3]
you want to retire at 60. you probably
[5]
have some questions
[6]
do i have enough can i retire and how
[9]
long will my money last
[10]
in this video we're going to look at
[12]
various hypothetical scenarios
[14]
some of the decisions you could make and
[16]
how they impact the grand scheme of
[18]
things
[18]
and we're going to reduce this down to a
[20]
probability so you have a very clear
[22]
understanding
[23]
of how these different decisions can
[25]
impact your ability to retire
[27]
at 60 with a million dollars inside your
[40]
[Music]
[42]
401k
[45]
hi i'm troy sharp ceo of ocarvis
[47]
financial group
[48]
host of the retirement income show
[50]
certified financial planner professional
[52]
and certified tax specialist so
[55]
on the screen here here's our
[56]
hypothetical couple jason and mary
[59]
jason is 58 currently employed mary is
[62]
retired
[63]
live in the state of texas have annual
[65]
income of a hundred thousand dollars
[67]
jason wants to retire at the age of 60.
[70]
so
[70]
the first thing we have to identify is
[72]
what are we
[73]
well the first thing is how long are we
[74]
going to live with the advent of
[76]
medicine and technology
[78]
science life expectancies keep
[80]
increasing in this country so for this
[82]
example
[82]
we have jason making it to 92 mary
[85]
making it to 94.
[86]
we'd much rather plan for a little bit
[88]
longer life expectancy
[89]
especially if you're an average or above
[91]
average health then plan for a shorter
[93]
life expectancy so good numbers here
[97]
then the goals so what exactly do we
[100]
want to spend so in this example
[102]
jason and mary they come in they say
[104]
look we're pretty frugal we don't spend
[106]
a ton of money we are concerned about
[107]
inflation we're concerned about taxes
[110]
but we think we can get by and about 50
[112]
000 a year
[113]
the house has paid off we don't have any
[115]
of those expenses the kids are out of
[116]
the house
[117]
out of college we're not supporting them
[118]
anymore we just want a nice quiet
[120]
retirement
[122]
and in order to retire at 60 we assume
[124]
we need to spend a little bit less
[126]
now here's the big thing if this is what
[128]
we plan on spending
[130]
if we want to retire at 60 we have to
[132]
keep in mind health insurance
[134]
so when jason retires we see right here
[136]
both retired before medicare
[139]
2023-2027 they're looking
[142]
at about twenty five twenty six thousand
[144]
dollars
[145]
in health care costs this includes uh
[148]
premiums for health insurance this
[149]
includes co-pays deductibles
[151]
prescriptions etc
[152]
these are the average out-of-pocket
[154]
costs for health care
[156]
for a couple this age in the country
[158]
that do not have
[159]
health insurance through work they have
[161]
to go in the private marketplace and buy
[163]
health insurance health insurance is
[164]
also one of those areas where we have to
[166]
be concerned about massive inflation
[168]
because we're seeing much greater
[169]
inflation in the health care industry
[172]
when it comes to your insurance premiums
[173]
the cost of care than we are in the
[175]
general economy
[177]
so inflation in the health care arena
[179]
can be anywhere from five to ten percent
[181]
whereas general
[182]
inflation economically speaking in this
[184]
country is still under two percent
[186]
so big disparity in inflation
[189]
and planning for these for for the basic
[192]
expenses okay so
[197]
okay we're going to look at social
[198]
security now for jason and mary
[200]
so if he files a normal application at
[203]
full retirement age 67
[204]
he's going to receive about 35 453
[208]
a year mary will file spousal benefits
[210]
and receive
[211]
50 percent if she waits until age 67
[214]
which is 17
[215]
726 investment assets
[222]
so jason here has a million dollars
[224]
inside the 401k
[226]
but he also has 200 000 outside of the
[228]
401k
[229]
that he saved over time to help with
[233]
retirement
[234]
but the big one here obviously the
[235]
million dollars in the 401k
[237]
that's the big pot of money do jason and
[239]
mary have enough
[240]
can they retire how long will the money
[242]
last so they're 58
[244]
want to retire at 60. they have a
[246]
million inside the 401k
[247]
200 000 elsewhere and they simply want
[250]
to spend 50 000
[251]
a year but remember health care is that
[253]
big kicker can mary and jason retire
[256]
so i'm going to hit this button this is
[257]
going to run 1 000 simulations
[260]
the main difference in these simulations
[262]
is what are the investment returns that
[264]
they experience
[265]
in in all of their years of retirement
[267]
so we're talking from 60 to 92
[270]
for jason and roughly the same amount of
[273]
time for mary
[274]
so out of a thousand different
[276]
simulations if we run them
[278]
about 90 percent of the time or 900
[281]
out of 1 000 simulations jason and mary
[284]
pass away with money
[285]
but we're going to look at some
[286]
important factors that can
[288]
definitely alter what the outcome is
[291]
the first one we're going to look at is
[293]
sequence of returns risk
[295]
so this is very important sequence of
[296]
returns is the order the chronological
[299]
order
[300]
when we retire and start taking money
[301]
out that we experience
[304]
various returns in the beginning years
[306]
of retirement and for this purpose it's
[308]
not just the beginning years of
[309]
retirement but it's also throughout what
[311]
is the sequence of returns is it plus
[313]
8 plus 12 minus 2 minus 6 or is it minus
[316]
4 minus 10
[318]
minus 2 plus 20 those are various
[321]
sequences of potential returns and they
[323]
have a massive impact
[324]
on the final account balances and
[326]
throughout retirement
[328]
so this is this is really interesting
[330]
because we're looking at 18 different
[331]
trials here
[332]
the difference in average rate of return
[335]
between all 18 of these trials
[338]
5.1 and 5.2 percent
[342]
so these are not one is averaging nine
[344]
one is averaging three
[346]
all of these eighteen trials the only
[349]
difference in return
[350]
is less than a tenth of one percent the
[353]
only
[354]
variable is the sequence that they've
[356]
realized returns throughout retirement
[358]
this is why investment management
[360]
as part of a broader plan is so critical
[362]
to success
[365]
the very best scenario 2059
[369]
so we're talking 40 years out
[372]
they pass away with 2.8 million dollars
[375]
the very worst scenario
[377]
40 years out they pass away with a
[379]
hundred and seventy two thousand dollars
[382]
so we're talking a difference of over
[384]
two point six million dollars
[386]
and the only difference is the average
[388]
rate of return
[389]
was varied between five point two and
[391]
five point one so
[392]
the sequence that they realized returns
[395]
as we see here
[397]
changes and over time they change
[400]
so really critical to understand the
[402]
importance of managing the investment
[404]
portfolio
[405]
in the context of how much income we're
[407]
trying to generate when we're generating
[408]
that income
[409]
how to keep up with inflation and with
[411]
respect to taxes it all has to be
[412]
managed together
[414]
now we're going to look at the impact of
[415]
different sequences of return
[417]
and different average rates of return
[419]
and how they impact the overall
[421]
portfolio
[422]
balance through time this is going to
[425]
provide
[425]
context to what we previously talked
[428]
about
[429]
so in the 500th out of 1000 simulations
[433]
the investment returns in the beginning
[437]
positive 8 negative
[440]
negative 2 positive 18 positive 5
[444]
positive 3 positive 17.
[447]
these are the account balances over time
[451]
that reflect the ultimate performance
[455]
on this series of portfolio returns
[458]
now we're going to look at social
[459]
security and the impact that has
[461]
on income and probability of success
[464]
throughout retirement
[465]
oftentimes when people want to retire
[468]
early
[468]
60 61 62 63 one of the first things i
[472]
often hear is troy we want to go ahead
[474]
and take social security
[475]
the thought process is if i turn social
[478]
security on now
[479]
that's less money i have to take out of
[481]
the portfolio but in reality what often
[483]
happens is
[484]
yes you're preserving portfolio assets
[486]
today but because of the reduced social
[489]
security
[490]
it puts you into a position in your 70s
[491]
and 80s where you have to take much
[493]
more out of the portfolio because of
[495]
inflation
[496]
and the lower guaranteed income source
[499]
so i want to look at the scenario for
[500]
jason and mary
[502]
so it ran another simulation i changed
[505]
screens
[506]
now we're looking at a probability if
[508]
they take social security at 67
[510]
91 percent if they take it at 62
[515]
81 so a 10 percent reduction in
[518]
probability of success
[520]
if they take it here's full retirement
[522]
age what we looked at
[524]
age 70. now here's an interesting one
[526]
deferring all the way out to age 70 for
[528]
them
[528]
only increases the probability by one
[530]
percent in this scenario i would
[532]
probably look at this one if it if i
[534]
were in
[534]
their shoes but when we look at this one
[537]
jason taking it at 70
[538]
and mary at full retirement age 94
[542]
so jason deferring until 70 increases
[544]
his social security to 43
[546]
961 one of the reasons that's important
[549]
is because when jason passes away if he
[551]
pre-deceases mary
[552]
especially if he pre-deceases her at an
[554]
unexpected early age
[556]
there's only one social security check
[558]
to go around the other one
[560]
ceases to exist so by him deferring
[562]
until 70
[564]
it increases the amount of amount of
[566]
money mary would have in her plan for
[568]
the rest of her life
[569]
whereas if they just took it at full
[570]
retirement age it's 35 000
[573]
he passes away her seventeen thousand
[575]
goes away so he's leaving her
[577]
with eight thousand dollars more per
[579]
year by deferring until seventy
[581]
additionally it is a higher probability
[584]
of success
[586]
so social security it's not a decision
[589]
that you make without respect to every
[590]
other aspect of your retirement it all
[592]
interacts with one another
[594]
like a set of dominoes you make a
[595]
decision it impacts something else
[597]
we need to make these decisions with
[599]
investments taxes social security
[601]
everything in contacts with in context
[604]
with one another the third and final
[605]
scenario we're going to look at is the
[607]
impact of retiring at a different age
[609]
and also wanting to spend more money in
[611]
retirement and see how that impacts the
[613]
overall probability of success
[615]
before we get into this youtube likes
[617]
engagement so if you leave a comment if
[619]
you hit that thumbs up if you don't like
[620]

[622]

[638]
okay so as a refresher jason wants to
[640]
retire at sixty spend fifty thousand
[642]
dollars a year
[643]
has one million dollars in the 401k an
[646]
extra 200
[646]
000 outside what happens to the
[649]
probability of success
[650]
if jason wants to spend 59 000
[654]
a year well that extra 9 000
[657]
drops the probability from 91
[661]
to 70 percent well let's say jason looks
[664]
at this and says you know what i'm
[665]
willing to work a little bit longer
[672]
let's put them out here to 62.
[676]
okay if jason wants to work to 62
[679]
spending 59 000
[680]
puts it about 85 percent this is a good
[682]
number but
[684]
keep in mind this is only a snapshot in
[685]
time the portfolio is going to change
[688]
next year things are going to change
[689]
throughout retirement
[691]
tax changes are going to come various
[693]
factors are going to
[694]
disrupt this entire scenario over time
[697]
so the most important thing isn't where
[699]
we are today
[700]
it's where we are over time are we
[702]
trending up
[703]
when we retire is it 85 86 89
[707]
are we staying level or is the are the
[709]
probabilities decreasing if they're
[711]
decreasing we need to make some
[712]
adjustments
[713]
we need to spend less we need to go back
[715]
to work part time maybe
[716]
whatever it might be staying connected
[719]
you'll hear me say staying connected all
[720]
the time on this channel
[722]
this is part what part of what i mean
[724]
it's not just where we are today
[726]
it's what is the trend of where we are
[728]
over time
[729]
and what decisions are we making with
[730]
the investment portfolio
[732]
based on the economic circumstances with
[734]
the tax strategy based on the tax law
[736]
how are we adjusting and this is where
[738]
the value of a financial advisor comes
[740]
in
[741]
understanding where you are and where
[744]
you want to be
[745]
in the various choices we can make with
[747]
the investments with the the
[748]
tax strategy with all the things that
[750]
interact with one another in retirement
[752]
can increase the probability of success
[754]
over time
[758]
let's say jason wants to
[761]
spend 68 000 a year
[765]
well 62 isn't going to cut it anymore
[767]
okay
[768]
in that scenario we might need to work a
[770]
little bit longer
[776]
okay so again 81 percent this isn't a
[778]
bad number
[779]
this means 810 out of a thousand
[781]
scenarios we pass away with money
[783]
but again it's not the be all end all
[785]
it's just where we are right now
[786]
we need to be connected we need to have
[788]
our portfolio linked up to the plan
[790]
and we need to understand as time goes
[792]
on we may need to make some adjustments
[794]
but by being connected we're in a good
[796]
place to sleep a little bit better at
[798]
night
[798]
because we know it's not just about the
[800]
money we have
[802]
we're able to see to a certain extent
[804]
into the future
[805]
what all that money that we have means
[807]
for our security
[808]
when it comes to how much income we'll
[810]
have can we retire are we retiring too
[812]
early too late
[813]
and then our team once we overlay a tax
[816]
strategy
[817]
on top of this typically these numbers
[819]
are going to go up quite substantially
[821]
as well
[822]
the one limitation to this software that
[824]
we use is it doesn't do a really good
[825]
job with taxes
[827]
but it does consider the conventional
[829]
wisdom strategy when it comes to taxes
[831]
which is what 99 percent of financial
[832]
advisors or at least a large percentage
[835]
in this country for years have
[836]
recommended for their clients
[838]
but overlaying a tax strategy on top of
[840]
the investment plan
[841]
and on top of the income plan absolutely
[844]
can improve these numbers
[846]
so long story short we need to be
[848]
connected we need to understand
[849]
how our assets and income are
[851]
interrelated how social security works
[854]
into that
[854]
and then again how taxes we have a lot
[856]
of videos about taxes on this channel
[858]
how taxes can increase our tax strategy
[862]
can increase
[862]
our probability of success if you'd like
[864]
for us to take a look at your personal
[866]
situation and you need some help
[868]

[870]
