Could the election affect your retirement?

Happy Election Day!

There are many around you who may be unsettled about the outcome regardless of the results.

Because there are many issues that will not be resolved today (or whenever the results are final).

Only one uncertainty will have been answered, which is who our President and other elected officials will be.

But, the markets in the months and years ahead will be more affected by debt, government spending, inflation, taxes, regulation, business growth, trade, and leverage in the financial system. These will run their course regardless of who is president.

Here is a link to an article I wrote for Kiplinger: How Will the 2024 Election Affect Your Retirement?

Remember, regardless of the outcome, the markets will do what they are going to do. You can refocus your attention on what you can control – your own retirement economy and your own desired market experience. This revolves around your desired lifestyle and putting guardrails around your money so it can deliver cash flow for you.

Many of you probably voted early, as my wife, son, and I did (it was especially exciting to share in our son’s first voting experience!).

If you have any friends that have not yet voted, encourage them to do so today regardless of the lines. It is a patriotic duty!

Then, DO celebrate tonight that we live in the best country in the world!

Wondering what the uncertainty could mean for you and your retirement plans and desired lifestyle?  Reach out to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation conversation.
