On this week's episode of the Retirement Matters Podcast, we talk about how the recent election demonstrated the strength of our democracy, with a smooth transfer of power highlighting our shared values over differences. As we move forward, discussions on government efficiency, tax cuts, and growth policies offer potential opportunities for individuals and the economy.
The stock market is reaching historic highs, with the S&P 500 surpassing 6,000 points and the NASDAQ also setting records. Despite a strong labor market, interest rates are declining, and favorable tax policies may be extended, creating a positive environment for growth.
Over the next few weeks, I'll provide strategies to help you prepare for 2025, whether retirement is 20 days or 20 years away. Together, we'll explore market trends, economic opportunities, and insights to ensure you're ready for the road ahead.
