12 Retirement Threats You Shouldn't Ignore
There are a lot of risks out there. Here are some big ones.
- The Next (or the Current) Recession or Stock Market Crash: Are we ALREADY in a Recession? The latest jobs numbers are hinting at a slowdown, and Recessions are rarely, if ever, good for the stock market.
- Hyper-Inflation: When Federal Reserve policy is too loose, inflation can spiral out of control, severely eroding your purchasing power and savings. Inflation has been rearing its head again. Is the Fed about to cut rates and make it worse? The stock market is not a big fan of big inflation either.
- Stagflation: A dangerous combination of inflation and economic stagnation—this “double whammy” creates major financial headwinds. As we did in the 1970s, are we now staring Stagflation in the face?
- Another Virus Outbreak: The pandemic taught us how quickly health crises can disrupt markets and livelihoods. Future variants remain a real threat.
- Another Serious Terrorist Attack: September 11, 2001 was over two decades ago. In today’s deeply divided world, the risk of another tragic event is still with us.
- War — What Is It Good For?: Unfortunately, not much. Conflicts over Taiwan, Ukraine, or the Middle East can rattle global markets—but your portfolio doesn't have to be a casualty. Ask us how to defend your nest egg.
- Uncovered Long Term Care Costs: A potential $500,000 financial burden. Most couples will face this when at least one partner requires extended care—and Medicare doesn’t foot the bill.
- One or Both Spouses Living Too Long: Longevity risk is real. One spouse outliving the couple’s financial plan can result in depleted savings and rising stress.
- One or Both Spouses Not Living Long Enough: When the primary income earner dies young, especially in younger couples, the financial impact can be devastating.
- Ever-Increasing Taxes: With growing government debt and shifting policies, future tax increases could take a big bite out of your retirement income.
- High Investment Expenses: Many portfolios are quietly drained by excessive fees—but with RP, LLC, this is one risk you’ll never have to worry about.
- Uncovered Medical Costs: Medicare doesn’t cover everything. Without proper planning, unexpected healthcare expenses can derail even a well-funded retirement.
