Planning for, and subsequently living (!) a dignified and choice-filled retirement is the biggest financial goal many of us have, or will have. It's also a journey of uncertainties, and one of the biggest uncertanties is market volatility, both positive and negative. We have experienced such positive market growth in the past 2 years in particular. So, in the interest of being prepared financially and mentally :), in this week's podcast I explore the impact of the stock market having an illustrative 30% decline in 2025. This is not a prediction of market mayhem this year, it's a premortem to allow us consider what it might mean for us, how we might or might not react, in order to deliver better outcomes for you. I hope it helps. Disclaimer
