Is $500K STILL ENOUGH To Retire On?

As of the time this video was made, 2025 is a bad year to retire. Things can always change later this year though. That being said, if you do decide to retire this year, can you still retire on only $500K? Let’s dig into the info and find out.

Hi, my name is Duane. After a 20 year career in the music industry, I retired on my 59th birthday in late 2021 with just over $500K. Soon afterwards, the stock market (and my investment portfolio) tanked. I’ll be posting detailed, monthly updates on my portfolio and videos that show the ups and downs of retirement life. THIS IS A CHANNEL THAT WILL SHOW HOW I OPTIMIZE A MODERATE INCOME RETIREMENT.

Ideally, I’d like this space to evolve into a collaborative community helping each other through pre and post-retirement. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please consider subscribing.
