Current Events – What It Means for Your Retirement
In Episode 36 of the Retirement GPS Podcast, Ryan and Zane break from their usual format to address a question many investors are asking right now: What’s going on in the world, and what does it mean for your retirement?
They unpack how recent geopolitical tensions are impacting oil prices, inflation, interest rates, and both the stock and bond markets. More importantly, they explain how these events create short-term shocks, not necessarily long-term changes to your financial plan.
You’ll hear why rising gas prices don’t always mean lasting inflation, how higher interest rates affect your portfolio, and what a market correction really means in the bigger picture.
Most importantly, they walk through what you should and shouldn’t be doing during times like this. From staying disciplined to rebalancing and investing during downturns, this episode is about keeping perspective when headlines feel overwhelming.
Important note: This discussion reflects current events as of 04-07-26 and is subject to change.
