If you are 50 years old, tired of your job, and wondering whether retirement at 62 could be realistic, this episode of The Vault with The Wealth Guardians walks through a helpful case study.

Garrett and Brice follow “Tom,” an IT manager who feels capped out in his current role and wants to know what his $500,000 401(k) could become over the next 12 years. They compare different market return scenarios, from stronger long-term growth to more modest returns, to show how investment performance may impact Tom’s retirement timeline.

This episode is a practical look at why retirement planning is not just about wanting to leave work. It is about understanding your savings, your time horizon, market assumptions, and whether your retirement income plan can support the life you want.

Knowledge is power.
