Listen "Should You Retire During a Volatile Market?"
Episode Synopsis
Plenty of people have concerns about stock market volatility, a potential recession on the horizon, and fears for the economy right now. Retiring in a down market can feel like stepping onto a shaky bridge, but with the right structure, it doesn't have to be. In this episode, Craig and Cameron unpack strategies for financial stability and peace of mind- like smart diversification and tuning out the media noise- even when the headlines are shouting panic. They cover how to build a resilient portfolio using the "three-bucket" strategy, how to plan for consistent income even if the market drops, and why risk, volatility, and media noise don't have to define your retirement. You'll also hear a powerful real-world example of how sequence-of-return risk can derail a plan and what to do instead.
