Welcome to The Retirement Quick Tips Podcast, your daily guide to preparing for and living your best retirement. I'm your host Ashley Micciche, and this week, I'm sharing with you: a recap of 2025 and a brief guide for investors in 2026.

I'll talk about what you might expect from the economy, and the stock and bond markets.

Normally I do this in daily episodes, but this week I have lost my voice due to a cold, so I'll spare you the daily episodes and cram it all into one episode this week.
