Most Americans find it hard to retire comfortably amid economy downtrend. Some have close to nothing going into retirement, my question is, will you pay off mortgage as a near-retiree, or spread money for cashflow, to afford lifestyle after retirement?

Agreed, the role of advisors can only be overlooked, but not denied. I remember in early 2020, during covid-outbreak, my portfolio worth around 300k took a slight fall, apparently due to the pandemic crash, at once I consulted an advisor in order to avoid panic-selling. As of today, my account has yielded big fat yields, and leverages on 7-figure, only cos I delegate my excesses right.

There are things I just dont value, regardless of how much money I have I dont like to 'waste' iy. However, they are right about how it can stress social situations.

This was me, especially between 2013 (when I graduated with no job) to 2022. I was pretty much was too poor to enjoy life until I got a good job in 2019. Then covid hit, and my only expensive "joy", which was traveling, hit a huge pause until 2023, when I started traveling again. Cause of that, I have a lot of money saved/invested now, and I'm way ahead of my retirement schedule (coast FIRE at 50). Even still, I'm putting away over 50% of my income into retirement accounts cause fuck taxes. The only big thing I want right now is a big house with a big back yard so I can make the garden I've always dreamed of. But It will be a few decades before I can afford that, and I'm not really willing to move to another state right now.

I think some of the people who talk about doing back door Roth IRAs after both people in a couple have maxed out their 401ks may be in this situation. Like, if you’re both putting in max into 401k (plus some employer match), you may want to put any addition investments into something more liquid that can be more easily accessed prior to age 60.

Can we please all agree to stop calling Roth "tax free" accounts? They aren't. A traditional IRA or 401K combined with the standard deduction is genuinely tax free. HSA's can be tax free. Roth accounts are "taxes paid". Always.

I get what you are saying about taxes paid on contributions. When talking about retirement, tax free is more accurate, because you are able to withdrawal everything without paying taxes. 😊 Gains can be majority of the account and taxes will never have been paid.

I'm a little nervous as I started investing at age 29 (paid off my student loans). I'm investing 15% of my gross income ($779 per paychrck). Putting it in a Roth 401k. I'm a bit disappointed in the rate of return so far this year - 6.81%. Am I on the right track?

Are you in a target retirement mutual fund? They typically have lower returns than indexes. My self directed Roth IRA , just investing in s&p is at 17% year to date. Still good at 6.81% because the growth is all tax free 👍Also congrats on making around $140000.

Make sure you are in the right investments. 6.8% is good in less than half a year. S&P is higher than that this year, but you may have a safer (diversified across markets and sectors) balance long term. Discuss with an advisor. Starting at 29 with 15% you’ll be just fine! At 50 you’ll be shocked how much you have.
@MeltingRubberZ28

If you're 29 you should be 100% SP500. Don't even think about going to even 1% "safe assets" until you're 45. You will see tremendous growth. Plus if you just started investing now, 6% growth on 10k vs 13% is not much.
@LukeofAllTrades.

You are doing awesome. The returns look small now, make sure they are in "riskier" index funds as other people have mentioned, but by the time you are 40 you will probably have $500k if you just keep doing what you're doing. Try to up your contributions to max out your Roth 401k, that's the only way you could do any better.

My wife and I stopped going to fancy dinners with friends because it started out as a $100-$120 a person, good night out, but after a few years got out of control. A much more well-to-do couple started coming and it exploded to $250-$300 a person because of the $60 a glass scotch and bottles of 20+ year old wine, both of which my wife and I don’t drink. We were looked at as the “tight wads” which didn’t sit well with me.
