072: How to Avoid FOMO When Markets Are Volatile

The Retirement Trainer

Our economy feels like a pretty uncertain place right now–especially if you’re approaching retirement age (or recently retired). Whether you’re reading the headlines or not, you’re probably feeling the effects of inflation and market volatility every single day.

And if you’re of retirement age, you were there for the hyperinflation of the 1970s, the dot-com bust of the 2000s, and the Great Recession, but that doesn’t mean that your portfolio is currently suited to the moment at hand.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the countless financial products and options out there right now, how to avoid making emotional investing decisions in tough times, and how to make sure that you’re taking on the right amount of risk in every stage of life.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

• What makes bear market rallies so complicated.
• The difference between financial advice and “hot stock tips.”
• How being overinvested in the market can set you up for constant losses and punishing tax bills.
• How to build a financial plan that ensures you won’t outlive your money.
