Thinking About Retiring Early in 2025? Think Again.
Planning for early retirement in 2025? Before you hand in your notice, this episode of Early Retirement Roadmap is your essential guide to navigating the biggest risks facing early retirees this year.
In it, I break down three critical threats — sequence of returns risk, rising inflation, and high market valuations, yes, even with the market downturn due to the Trump tariffs — and I share practical strategies to protect your retirement portfolio. From building cash reserves to using TIPS bonds and dividend-paying ETFs, you'll learn how to retire with confidence even during market volatility.
Whether you're part of the FIRE movement or just ready to leave your 9–5, this episode will help you build a plan to retire early AND STAY retired.
What You’ll Learn:
How a market downturn at the wrong time can destroy your retirement plans
Why inflation silently eats away at your wealth over time
Key investing metrics like the CAPE ratio and Buffett Indicator
How to create a resilient early retirement strategy that lasts decades
