Wes Moss on Forbes.com

Americans have been presented with immense financial challenges in the past two-plus decades. The Dotcom Bubble sent stock prices down nearly 50% between 2000 and 2002, the Great Recession and Housing Crisis of 2007-2009 cratered stocks more than 55%, and the COVID-19 Pandemic and shutdowns sent stocks tumbling 30% in a month’s span—leading to massive inflation and high interest rates thereafter. Recent days have been no less arduous. The incumbent president dropped out of the race mere months before election day, and the other candidate narrowly escaped an assassination attempt.

Sticking to a sensible retirement strategy while accounting for the unknown future market ripples of frenetic world events can feel overwhelming. Furthermore, the media can often drive a negative and noisy narrative. Learn to filter some of that out to give yourself space to notice the positive.

Zooming out to a wider perspective might help.
