0:00 30:44

Is the Bull Market Running Out of Time? & The ‘Friendship Recession’ Threatening Retirement

Is the current bull market nearing the end of its run simply because the calendar says it's getting old? Wes Moss examines why investors might be looking at the wrong clock when assessing market cycles — and why zooming out to historical expansions since WWII reveals a much bigger picture.

Then, Wes explores a different kind of downturn that poses an even greater risk to a successful retirement: the bear market on socialization. With close friendships down and isolation on the rise, staying socially connected takes intentional effort. Discover why being a "joiner" is a non-negotiable pillar of the Retire Sooner strategy.
