Being worried about a market crash right after retiring is a major fear for many people both before and after taking the plunge. I often hear these anxieties: "I'm scared to retire even though I have enough money in every projection. What happens if there is a market crash right after I retire?" "We just retired, but are hesitant to spend money in case we have a market crash." You're not alone—thousands of people have had the same worry. But does the data actually support this fear? In my latest podcast episode you'll learn: Do we need to worry about a market crash right after retiring? Should we have the same worry in future years? Can I really be financially independent for life? How can I confidently take the plunge and retire when the market might crash? What should you do when the market crashes during retirement?

How can you let go of the fear?
