Hello everyone, I am 52 and my wife is 48, we have a 6 and 9 year old. I am targeting 60 for retirement. Here is a snapshot on our financial standing.
50K savings
280K in 401K's
830K in IRA's
530K in taxable accounts
113K in stocks
total 1.8 M
plus 435K house paid off
Over the next 8 years we plan to continue to save agressively, start educational savings plans for kids, and I am cuurently working on a budget to determine what our living needs will be. I anticipate having the opportunity to purchase company medical insurance after retirement, but not sure on cost.
My advisor is running a Monte Carlo similation to determine probability of money lasting (based on historical data, I know this is a downfall) based on starting portfolio, spend rate, investment, etc...
1) I am looking for an excel based retirement budget templete, any ideas?
2) Any advice on company provided medical insurance cost compared with going it on your own?
3) Any tips you can provide?
4) Thoughts on Monet Carlo simulation?
5) Is it too early to start a countdown? Ha
Thanks in advance for any and all advice, I look forward to learning a lot on this board!
