Median net worth for 55-64 is around 200k.

So talking about actual savings, its very realistic this scenario occurs for people with sub 100k liquid.

Following this. I've wondered the same thing. I had a good friend who mentioned

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.

What's their healthcare situation like?

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

It's that last part that gets me

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.

6/22/21 2:42pm

I believe the oldest millenials are turning 41 this year. Plenty of Gen Xers

shoganai

6/22/21 2:43pm

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

Tell the wife to slim down, take care of herself and look around for someone

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

Comfortable like a bean bag chair is comfortable

TomPetty

Not at all. Plenty of communities in the US one can live independently and

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