The scariest market risk isn’t a single bad year. It’s a long stretch where your portfolio goes sideways, inflation keeps eating purchasing power, and you still need to pull cash for real life. That’s what “lost decades” look like, and today we unpack why they can quietly wreck a retirement plan even when the headlines feel calm.
I’m joined by Ryan Gorman of Tamar’s Financial, to talk through his research on long periods of weak stock market returns. We break down what people mean by “the market,” why investors anchor to the highest value on their statement, and how sequence of returns risk turns normal withdrawals into a compounding problem. We also get practical about inflation adjusted returns, why getting back to a prior account balance is not the same as getting your buying power back, and why forward-looking averages can hide painful paths.
If this conversation helps you think more clearly about investing through a lost decade, subscribe for more, share it with a friend who needs a plan, and leave a review so more investors can find it. What part of a lost decade worries you most right now?
