The Retire to Abundance Newsletter

Stay Informed

As the presidential election approaches, I understand that many of you have questions about its potential impact on your investment portfolios. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the media hype and political drama, but it’s important to stay grounded. We've done our homework and explored how elections can affect the markets. Dive into my blog below for insights and guidance to help you navigate this election season with confidence.

Will the Election Impact my Portfolio?


It's tempting to want to make drastic changes in a portfolio prior to or in response to big world changes. Indeed, volatility is ever present in the market and our sensitivity to it tends to be heightened in times like this. We are hard-wired to worry when change is imminent, and finances are often at the top of that list. So where does that leave us when it comes to our portfolio over the next few months?

Here's what I suggest:
→ Stick to the plan
→ Remember timing the market is a fool's errand
→ Diversify, diversify, diversify
→ Tune out all of the noise (media, I'm looking at you!)
→ Focus on what you can control

August The Retire to Abundance Newsletter Craving Normalcy: Every year when school gets going again, I realize how much I miss having some routine. We all do better when life has a little structure, and the same goes for our finances. This time of year, as things slow down from the summer rush, is a great chance to take a step back and see what adjustments might help. Maybe it’s increasing retirement contributions, making sure your withdrawal plan is still on track, or even thinking through a...

September The Retire to Abundance Newsletter When It Rains, It Pours: Normally, that phrase is about bad things piling up, but as the son of a farmer it’s hard to ever be upset at the thought of rain. I recently saw a stat showing that Kingman had its third wettest summer in recorded history. The rain has been a blessing—my sprinkler system has barely run, and more importantly, it’s helped break our local farmers out of the recent cycle of drought. In many ways, finances work the same way....

July The Retire to Abundance Newsletter Alphabet Soup: Summertime always seems to fly by in a blur of ballgames, travel, and triple-digit heat.

One of the big projects we've been working on is now live: KPERSretirement.com, a free educational site designed specifically for KPERS enrollees. If that’s you—or someone you care about—you’ll find a link to...
