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

March The Retire to Abundance Newsletter Is the other shoe about to drop? A quick look through my writings over the years makes one thing clear—at some point every year, I’m talking about volatility. When markets are up: “Uh oh, they must be heading down.” When markets are down: “Maybe we’re headed for a recession.” Each market cycle has its own twists, but ultimately, there’s nothing new about any of this. Inevitably, something will come along that scares investors, markets will drop, and...

February The Retire to Abundance Newsletter Love and Money: Love and money may seem like an unusual pairing, but for many of us, they’re deeply connected—not in a cringy “I love money” kind of way, but in how we use it to care for those who matter most. I define love as desiring what is best for the beloved. With that in mind, getting your financial house in order and creating a solid financial plan can be one of the most loving things you ever do. While Hallmark probably won’t be making a...

Planning for retirement works the same way. You can research strategies, calculate numbers, and envision your perfect future, but until...
