Help them be realistic about what “retirement” is going to look like for them.

6/22/21 2:32pm

Tell them to start looking at houses in other countries because that's the only way they'll be able to retire

I've met people abroad who are only there because that's what they can afford.

They usually pay small stuff out of pocket & have supplemental.

A bunch of other risks I see, too.

Good advice would be to get in a job they can do into their 70s

Seems super weird that people in that situation would even bother to approach a financial adviser at that point. Like,

Same miracle you might see patients expect of their Dr when they're basically killing themselves, I imagine.

Millennials are in their 50s and 60s now? Wow. Time flies.

Yeah most of the studies show millennials save more than previous generations

6/22/21 2:52pm

Tell them to plan to work into their 70s I guess.

I'm guessing they have a really nice truck though and probably some toys

Work until 70, both spouses then take max SS. That is enough to live comfortably

Comfortable like a bean bag chair is comfortable

TomPetty

Just use your house as a cash register I guess - ReFi, ReFi, ReFi
