Is your 401(k) prepared for a market crash? With market volatility on the rise, many investors are wondering how to protect their portfolios.

In this episode, I share an article from Go Banking Rates on how to safeguard your retirement savings during turbulent times. I’ll highlight key takeaways from the article, share my own insights on where I agree or disagree, and explain why certain strategies may be more effective than others.

After that, I answer a listener’s question about long-term care (LTC) insurance. We’ll explore different types of LTC policies, discuss the ideal time to purchase coverage (such as around age 50), and consider whether self-funding might be a smarter financial strategy.

Key takeaways:

  • Diversify, Diversify, Diversify
  • Shift Toward Conservative Investments as You Near Retirement
  • Rebalance Regularly—Not Just After a Crash
  • Consider a 401(k) Rollover for More Flexibility
  • Stay the Course—Don't Panic Sell
