I'm 51 with $600k. When Can I Retire?

Video Description

Planning for a retirement filled with travel and adventure requires a unique financial strategy—one that’s as flexible as it is secure. For Hillary, 51, and Mark, 55, this means a 10-year plan that prepares them to sell their home, retire early, and live abroad comfortably. They recently met with James to explore how to make this dream a reality, despite receiving previous advice from another advisor suggesting Mark work until age 70. By taking a closer look at their projected cash flows, James helped them build a tailored plan to support their goal of extended stays in affordable overseas destinations. While they consider a flexible retirement timeline, even potentially retiring in five to six years, James encourages them to test the lifestyle with extended travel first. His plan and approach balance financial security with the freedom to explore, making their dream of a travel-focused retirement both realistic and achievable. ======================= 🔗 Connect with us → https://learn.rootfinancialpartners.com/connect Get access to the retirement software I use and more → https://retirement-planning-academy.mykajabi.com/rpa _ _ ⏱Timestamps:⏱ 0:00 - Hillary and Mark's big dream 4:26 - Expected expenses in retirement 7:39 - Healthcare and income 10:24 - Advice from another advisor 12:15 - Projecting flows 15:34 - Withdrawal rate projection 17:59 - Probability of success & rethinking expenses 19:47 - Options with the house 22:37 - Exploring timing options 26:26 - Practice retirement 30:05 - Hillary's "homework" -- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser.
