Tune is as Jerry discussed the inevitability of bear markets for long-term investors, noting that the likelihood of experiencing a market drop of 20% or more increases with time: A one-year investment has a 33% chance, while a five-year investment has an 77% chance, and after 15 years, it's certain.

See why our advice is to to plan for these declines rather than avoid them, emphasizing the importance of staying invested, diversified, and focused on long-term goals.

In today’s video, I’m sharing why your portfolio must keep growing, especially in retirement.

📈 The Reality:

Retirement can last 30+ years, and during that time, everything—from groceries to healthcare—will get more expensive due to inflation. Did you know the price of a postage stamp has more than doubled in the last 30 years? That’s inflation at work.

💰 The Solution:

If your money isn’t growing, it’s losing value. Investing in the stock market can help your wealth outpace inflation. $10 invested in stocks since 1983 would now be worth almost $900—a huge difference!

At Presilium, we build portfolios that grow with you, keeping you ahead of inflation and securing your future.

Welcome to this month's edition of The Big Question. Every day, we face decisions—some big, some small. But once in a while, we’re faced with decisions that can change the course of our lives—like accepting a new job, buying a home, or retiring early.

This month’s big question is: What happens if I do X?

What happens if I take that new job?

What happens if we buy that new house?

What happens if I retire early?

At Presilium, we always start with the same answer: Let’s review your financial plan.

Your financial plan isn’t a dusty document sitting in a drawer. It’s a living, breathing guide—one that should be updated regularly. We understand it’s an abstraction of reality and that it can change overnight. But, in that moment, it’s vital. It gives you clarity, guidance, and peace of mind—all the information you need to make informed decisions.

A financial plan is where we start with every client relationship, every investment decision, and every asset allocation choice.

If you don’t have a plan—or yours hasn’t been updated recently—now is the time. Get an updated plan in place so you can move forward with confidence, knowing where you are, where you're going, and how best to get there.

Thanks for joining me, everyone. See you next month!
