When World Events Collide with Retirement Plans

What happens to your retirement plan when global tensions send gas prices soaring overnight? Jon Hicks examines how geopolitical uncertainty, inflation pressure, and market volatility can ripple through retirement portfolios. Using real‑world examples and clear analogies, the conversation focuses on why retirees and near‑retirees need plans that account for disruption, not just calm markets. The episode explores stress testing, distinguishing market "noise" from real signals, and preparing for scenarios that don't go according to plan—all with an eye toward staying financially steady when uncertainty hits.
