<h1>Don’t Let a Market Tantrum Wreck Your Retirement Glow-Up</h1>The stock market’s throwing a fit again—cue the dramatic music and the ghost of 1930s-style tariffs. But before you clutch your pearls and cash out your 401(k), let’s talk strategy. On this episode of Queer Money, we break down what all this market chaos actually means for your retirement dreams—and why it’s not the time to panic.We're serving up calm, clarity, and a reminder that emotional investing is so last season. Selling in a panic? That just locks in your losses and wrecks your long-term glam plan. Instead, we spill the tea on why keeping those retirement contributions flowing—rain or shine—is the best way to build true wealth.Because here’s the truth: retirement should be a well-planned runway strut, not a frantic sprint in heels during a hurricane. <h2>Takeaways:</h2><ul><li>✨ Don’t sell in a snit - Panic selling when the market dips is like breaking up with your sugar daddy during a minor disagreement—it might feel right in the moment, but you’ll miss the long-term benefits. Hold steady and don’t lock in those losses.</li><li>✨ Keep those contributions coming, honey - Whether you’re 25 or 65, consistency is key. Retirement investing isn’t a short fling—it’s a committed relationship. Keep funding those accounts, even when the market feels like it’s ghosting you.</li><li>✨ History’s got your back (and your portfolio) - Markets have been drama queens before—wars, recessions, scandals—but they always bounce back. Think of downturns as the messy middle of a glow-up montage.</li><li>✨ Check your financial feng shui - Now’s a great time to review your portfolio. Is your asset mix aligned with your risk vibe and retirement goals? If not, it might be time for a little financial redecorating.</li></ul> <h2>Topics Covered:</h2><ul><li>00:01 - The Gala Event Dilemma</li><li>00:39 - The Impact of Tariffs on the Stock Market</li><li>02:57 - Understanding Market Corrections and Bear Markets</li><li>06:41 - Strategies for Portfolio Management During Volatility</li><li>07:45 - Rebalancing Your Portfolio Strategies</li></ul> Mentioned in this episode:Subscribe to the Queer Money Weekly NewsletterSubscribe here to get weekly money tips, show notes, Queer Money take-aways, give-aways, access to events and more.<a href="https://queer-money.captivate.fm/newsletter">Subscribe to the Queer Money weekly newsletter</a>Support the Queer Money podcastWe love bringing you new content every week.
