It’s no secret that market volatility can feel especially nerve-wracking when you’re no longer earning a paycheck.

But what if I told you that, historically, every single crash has ended the same way—with a recovery?

That's what happened after the Covid-19 market crash, the 2021 downturn, and even the Great Depression.

We're going to discuss an article titled "What We’ve Learned From 150 Years of Stock Market Crashes" by Emelia Fredlick. The article highlights some of the worst market downturns in history and, more importantly, the lessons they offer for long-term investors like you.

Takeaways:

Lesson #1: We Can’t Predict Recovery Times Lesson #2: Every Decade Brings a Market Crash Lesson #3: Staying Invested is the Only Winning Strategy

Then I answer question sent in from a listener: "What are some good ways to gift money to my children while I'm still living?"

All of this in less than 20 minutes.
