Should I Unretire if the Stock Market Crashes?

Alas, the answer to the title question of this article is… it depends. I was tempted to say “yes” and make this a very quick read. However, I didn’t want to shatter anyone’s retirement dreams. As a Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) practitioner, my goal is to do the opposite of that. Really, the honest way to assess this question is to examine if a retiree’s financial resources are enough to last them their lifetime. Doing so will go a long way towards determining whether or not they should consider unretiring during a stock market crash.

What are Good Investments in a Recession?

Whenever markets start to face some head winds, one of the most common questions to come thereafter becomes, “what to invest in during a recession?”. The easy answer is that there are no recession proof investments out there. The more realistic answer is that not all recessions are built the same way. Some recessions are due to pandemics, while others can be due to rising interest rates, a faulty housing dynamic, over extended stock markets, or a number of things.

How to Invest During A Recession

During times of market or economic uncertainty – when we are not sure what will happen to our 401K balances or if we will still have a job at the end of the coming quarter. One thing that is for sure to happen, almost every “news” outlet gets covered by headlines: “Best 10 stocks to own during a recession” or “Best Recession Proof Stocks” or my favorite “How to make money during recession”.

Another Market Correction? Again? Umm... Yep

It appears that we may be in for a test of our investor discipline, yet again. I had hoped we would get away with an uneventful autumn, with the markets gently trending sideways or only slightly downward into the midterm election... the market had other ideas.
