In this episode, we break down simple strategies to protect your retirement savings when the market gets rough. We’ll start with why staying calm is key and how planning ahead can help you avoid emotional decisions.

Finally, we’ll share the benefits of regularly reviewing your plan and how smart tax strategies can give you a boost during downturns.
