Intelligent Planning for Early Retirement
A game of living is overwhelmingly challenging, meaning to say getting rich to stay rich. That’s the secret of rich people to enjoy freedom and never experience a downfall. Early retirement planning is identical to conventional retirement planning, with one big exception–time. Future retirees can learn a lesson from their elders by looking to current retirees in Canada and around the world. No doubt in early retirement, you have less time to achieve your financial goals, and this time-frame will also change many aspects of retirement planning. Traditional retirement planning emphasizes having more time to save money that lasts after retiring. The traditional approach will only work if you pursue extreme frugality by having passive investment strategies and savings.
Though the savings and have required we otherwise know retirement income is otherwise as to the slow and secure path to wealth. This works okay when applied judiciously over a 40-year career to finance, have been trends in Canada towards reducing employee pension coverage, contract workers and an increase in self-employment. If we choose passive investment portfolios, it will grow so fast but nearly fast enough for early retirement at regular spending levels. Depending on the data and period analyzed, long-term returns vary because of inflation and market influence that retirees hardly able to grow enough wealth for most early retirements. That means they have less time to save and need more money to spend once retired. There’s a mathematical disaster for someone seeking early retirement.
In other words, if you want to save and passively invest your way too early retirement at current spending levels, then spending habits need to be proportional to activity level. Spending habits to decrease over time as your age and offsets the impact of inflation to have a compound growth of the assets in a meaningful way. This decrease in spending on retirement planning relies upon to have relatively enough for emergencies and health issues. Due to an active lifestyle and greater health providing a relatively stable spending picture for traditional retirees. Early retirees must fit into one of the following categories to achieve financial security and have offset inflation like traditional retirees.
- Begin retirement with excess wealth beyond what’s necessary to support the current lifestyle, so that you have an appropriate cushion.
- Earn above-market investment returns to overcome inflation and lifestyle costs during retirement.
- Supplement retirement income with earned income.
- Change lifestyle so that expenses decrease.
For example, I’ve been financially “retired” since age 35, in the sense of not earning income to pay living expenses. It would be impossible to have estimated my investment returns, control inflation, old spending patterns, life expectancy, with even the faintest degree of accuracy over a 60+ year future? But by using the traditional simple models will help to accomplish the financial independence using a simple four rule system that Retirement Shield Canada Insurance professionals developed.
1. The first rule is that you must build an investment portfolio sufficient to throw off by the assets, but the assets themselves can never be touched. No complicated math required for this rule, this rule only refers to total return, but only to residual income. At this point, when the cash flow is more than you spend on living expenses, then you are infinitely wealthy. You can only spend the income thrown off to make the expected lifetime assumption irrelevant.
2. The second rule is that you must manage your assets so that growth (total return-income) is greater than the inflation rate. Alternatively, if your cash comes from appreciating assets like positive rental real estate and cash flow, those are likely to grow with an inflation monster and your income should likewise grow. As long as the difference between your total return and the income from your assets exceeds the rate of inflation, you can remove any need to estimate future inflation from your calculations. It becomes a non-issue.
3. The third and final rule is that your residual income must come from multiple, non-correlated sources. A reasonable mixture of dividend-paying stocks and income-producing real estate would satisfy that requirement. It is also possible to mix in some passive business income, a fixed annuity income, royalty income, social security income, and pension income. What you don’t want to do is retire based on one source of income. For example, many airline employees retired solely on their pensions, which got decimated when certain airlines went through bankruptcy and restructuring. They had no fallback position and had to cut their lifestyle and/or go back to work.
4. A fourth bonus rule is a rule as an insurance policy against the unknown factors in a life ruled by Murphy’s Law. Without having passive investment cash flow, early retirement is nothing more than a burden. Once you have an investment that exceeds what you spend, you have money left over to reinvest. Reinvesting excess revenue allows you to cover against catastrophes, excess inflation, unexpected loss, etc. This provides the last added measure of insurance to have compound savings from any adverse circumstance.
The retirement is the four-legged stool for income that includes income, pensions, savings, and social security is often reduced to one or two legs for early retirees. The early retiree’s financial picture will be overburden on savings and other sources of income by eliminating government retirement programs. Early retirees can’t rely on relatives or friends to help with their retirement–at least for a few years.
