How Much Will I Need to Retire? | Kris' Famous Financial Freedom Formula - YouTube

How much money are you actually going to need to retire? It's mind-boggling to me
[4]
how so many people really don't know the answer to this question. And there is a
[8]
science to it. But today, I'm going make it super simple. I'm going to give you four
[13]
specific questions. And if you can answer these 4... Which a pretty easy to answer.
[16]
You're going to have a really solid idea of exactly what you're going to need for
[21]
retirement.
[34]
This is the most important financial question that you can be asking. In fact,
[38]
you need to know how much you're going to need for retirement. But no one really
[42]
ever knows how to answer it. No one can give you a formula until today. Without a
[47]
formula, you're just going to default to society's game plan. And for just a
[51]
moment, look at what society's game plan actually looks like. They're going to
[55]
tell you that you should put your money in 401Ks, IRAs and then you should work
[59]
on paying off your house. And what that's going to do is that's going to leave you
[62]
with very little money in the bank and that's gonna leave you in a really broke
[65]
financial mindset. Because if you got no money in the bank and all your money
[69]
goes into places that you're told, "Don't touch or else you're going to get penalized."
[72]
It really messes with the brain. I had a unique opportunity and experience as a
[78]
very young man that really gave me the answer to this at a very young age. As 22
[83]
years old, I was in college and I got this telemarketing job. And I was talking
[88]
to people who 30 years earlier was following society's game plan. They were
[92]
saying "Go to college. Get good grades", right? "And then get a career. Work for
[96]
somebody else." They had all done that. So, it was weird. It was like this Time Warp.
[100]
In my early 20s, talking to people in the early 50s. And you know what I noticed? I
[104]
noticed that they had been successful putting money in the 401Ks. Some
[108]
of them had 50 grand, some of them 150 grand. Some of them more.
[111]
Some had put some money in IRAs for some tax benefits. And then the rest were
[115]
working on paying off their house. Some people put some money in the stock
[118]
market. But for the most part, that's what people did. And after 30 years, do you
[123]
know what they had to show? They had a net worth anywhere from a 100,000
[126]
to 3, 4, 5 hundred thousand dollars. Now, here's a crazy part:
[130]
Most of people were living off because they had kids and families. They were
[134]
living off of 70, 80, 90, or $100,000 a year.
[137]
So, after 30 years, they had saved enough that if they had to spend it right now,
[141]
they'd be able to live for another 3, 4 or 5 years. And then they would
[145]
run out of money. As an early 20-year old, I thought "This is crazy". My dad told
[149]
me that I need these good grades to go to college. And now I'm in college and
[153]
when I decided I couldn't be a doctor it was kind of midlife crisis for me
[156]
because I ultimately became super clear with the fact that I'm not going to be the
[161]
doctor that I wanted. And I'm not smart enough to get because
[164]
I just can't rock the chemistry stuff. Which means I got to find another degree.
[167]
And most of the jobs... You know you get degrees for paper 30,000 year or $50,000
[172]
or $80,000 a year. I'm like, I knew the math. You can't save enough money. In fact,
[178]
if you make $300,000 a year. And you're not disciplined to save half your money,
[182]
you're not going to save what you need for retirement. And it it became this
[186]
impossible mathematical equation that no matter what, you weren't going to make it.
[191]
That caused me to basically say, "I need a functional plan that's not broken under
[195]
this garbage 401K, IRA crap." And the other thing that I realized... I'm going to have to
[200]
figure out a plan of how to get there. This led me to the information I'm going to
[203]
share with you in today's video which is ultimately how do you actually know how
[206]
much you need for retirement. There's 4 questions I believe you need to ask
[210]
to figure out that number. I've never made a video sharing this information
[213]
before. I think it's something that you're going to appreciate. And let me jump
[217]
in right now. Number one, the first thing that you need to know when you're asking
[221]
the question. What do I need to be financially free? The first question that
[224]
you should be asking is how much money do I need to replace my current income?
[229]
Now, the reason why I start with this is that your current income is a part of
[233]
the lifestyle. You've built a life for yourself. And a style around that life
[237]
for how much you make. So, for some of you it's $50,000. For some of
[241]
you, it's a $150,000. For some of you it's
[243]
$20,000. Whatever the amount is, there's 4 questions for you to live
[247]
the life that you want on your terms. Number 1, it's going to include
[250]
replacing your current income. Now, just for argument's sake, we're going to say
[254]
that this is $60,000. This is important later. Question number 2:
[259]
"How much do you need to live where you want?" And I'm talking about what's that
[264]
house that you want to live? What does that dream house really look like?
[267]
There's a payment that is associated with this. You see that $60,000
[272]
on replacing your income is $5,000 a month. But let's say
[275]
that you want to live in a beautiful million dollar house. And maybe it's not
[278]
just a million dollar house. It's a location or it's in the country or it's
[281]
on a beach or or something like that. You find out that that house and the
[285]
mortgage of that house is going to cost you $8,000 a month. So, we
[289]
have 5,000 replace your income then there's $8,000 to
[292]
live in your house the way you want. And here's the third question: How much
[295]
travel do you want to do? Because once people have money, do you know
[297]
what we want to do? That I've been to 40 different countries. I get it. I love
[301]
world travel. Like travel freaking lights me up. So, how often you want to travel? I
[305]
find if most people have the money that they would want to travel 2, 3, 4,
[309]
or 5 times a year. And depending on whether you want to travel with a
[311]
backpack or whether you want to travel like lavishly in style. If you're going to
[315]
pay out 10 grand a trip and take 4 trips a year, that's $40,000. And that's
[320]
going to cost you somewhere around $3,000 a month in travel. And then the last thing
[326]
that people typically want is how much do you want to get where you want to go?
[331]
Transportation, right? Does it require you to go by boat? Helicopter, plane, car? A lot
[336]
of people in the beginning they just want a really nice car. If a really,
[339]
really, really nice car that would satisfy you or cars. Let's say that you
[343]
needed a $3,000 a month budget for nice cars. Then look at what we have just
[348]
found out. To replace your income is $5,000 a month. To live in a house that
[351]
you want is 8,000 a month. To travel the way you want is
[354]
3,000 a month. To drive the car you want a $3,000 a month.
[356]
3 plus 3 is 6 thousand plus 8 is 14 plus 5 is 19. This person needs
[362]
$19,000 a month to produce the lifestyle that they want. Well, guess what
[366]
we can reverse engineer? $19,000 a month. How much money are you
[371]
going to need to be able to produce that? Let's just assume for a moment that
[375]
you're doing real estate with me as one of my partners and I can show you how to
[380]
earn pretty easily 25% annual ROI? Question is how much money would you
[387]
need producing that? This is the math that I want to show you: $19,000 a
[392]
month. How much does that a year? Well, I'm
[394]
opening up my calculator right here. My calculator looks like that on my phone.
[397]
And I say $19,000. If I need that for 12 months out of the year, that's
[402]
$228,000. So, here's the story problem: How
[406]
much money do I need if it's earning 25% to produce 228
[411]
thousand dollars a year. Well, to actually get that number, you've
[415]
got to be able to multiply that number by 4. So, if I multiply that by 4... If
[418]
I had $912,000... This number you can see on the
[423]
screen right here. Earning 25% a year, it would produce
[428]
$228,000 dollars. So, if your investments were
[431]
producing 25% cash-on-cash ROI, you would only need $912,000
[437]
to produce this lifestyle to live the life that you want. If your
[440]
investments are for example producing only 5%, then you're not going
[446]
to multiply by 4. You're going to multiply by 20. And so
[449]
$228,000 if you're on society's game plan,
[452]
if you're earning 5%, you need 4.5 dollars to live
[458]
that lifestyle. This is at 5% ROI and this is at a 25%
[463]
ROI. What a wild dramatic difference. So, in today's video, I really wanted you to
[469]
start realizing, "Wait a second. There's a certain number of deals or homes for me
[474]
to buy that will give me the lifestyle that I want, let me drive the car that I
[477]
want, live where I want, travel the way I want. Be with who I want and not have to
[481]
have that job anymore." It's a number and you can learn what that number is. No,w I
[485]
know we covered a lot in a very short period of time. You can re-watch this
[487]
video again. You can share it with somebody. Sit down with someone who's
[491]
good at math. If you don't feel like you are, break it down and watch it. And break
[494]
this math down and realize that for you to make enough money to support your
[500]
lifestyle, you're going to have to figure out how to do the math. And math
[503]
ultimately comes down to you knowing "what do you want?" Today, I shared four
[507]
questions with you. Number 1, how much money would take to replace your current
[510]
income? Because you don't want that job anymore, right? Number 2, what kind of
[515]
house do you want to live in? Number 3, how much you want to spend on
[518]
traveling a year? And number 4 how do you want your transportation look? Friend,
[522]
if you add all of that up, that's going to help you understand how much residual
[525]
income you need. And you know the ultimate vehicle for producing residual
[528]
is... Its real estate. Listen, I wrote this book years ago. You've heard me share it
[532]
on other videos before. If you don't have this yet, get yourself this book. If
[535]
you've gotten the book, do yourself a favor, read the book. The book comes with
[540]
a free game plan. Someone from my team will contact you and say, "Hey, what is
[543]
your game plan? Or do you need help with the math? Or do you not understand it?" You
[547]
can talk with a member of my team and they can show you how many homes you
[550]
need to buy and this will show you how to do it. So, thank you so much for
[554]
watching today's video. I also have a video showing how I retired by the age
[558]
of 26. if you click on that over here, that's another great way to understand
[562]
took the knowledge in this book and how I put it into practice. So, between that
[566]
video in the free book, I hope that today's video helped you get clear on... If
[570]
I were to meet Kris live and you were to say, "What's your number?" And then just
[572]
on those 4 questions alone you could say, "That's my number. That's what I need.
[576]
That's what my investments are driving towards." And then we can reverse engineer
[579]
how much real estate you need to do how fast you want to do it to live the life
[582]
of your dreams now.
