Market drops grab headlines, but they’re rarely the biggest challenge facing retirement plans. On this episode, Ryan Herbert & Lawrence Kiely break down the difference between routine market corrections, bear markets, and rare major downturns, while also discussing why short-term volatility often gets more attention than long-term planning realities. They explain how retirement strategies can be structured to separate income needs from market swings, helping investors stay focused on monthly cash flow rather than daily headlines. The conversation also explores why market timing creates challenges, how recent volatility shows up in client conversations, and where tax strategies like Roth conversions tend to surface during down markets.
