Reviewing Your Investments

Retirement is a time to reap the rewards of years of hard work, not stress over investments. However, as Blake and Mary learned in "Retire and Thrive," the transition from accumulating wealth to enjoying it can be fraught with anxiety. If you're constantly checking the market and worrying about your nest egg, it's time to reassess your investment strategy.

Key Takeaways

1. Age Matters:
Your investment portfolio should evolve as you approach retirement. A younger investor can afford more risk, while those nearing retirement need a more conservative approach to protect their assets.

2. Diversification is Key:
Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversifying your investments across different asset classes can help protect your wealth from market downturns.

3. Regular Reviews are Essential:
Schedule annual reviews with a financial advisor to ensure your investments align with your retirement goals and risk tolerance.

4. Think Like a Business Owner:
Remember, every stock you own represents a piece of a company. As long as the company is viable, you won't lose all your money, even if the market fluctuates.

5. Peace of Mind is Priceless:
A well-diversified portfolio and regular reviews can help you sleep better at night, knowing your investments are working for you, not against you.
