About this episode

Kevin Lum discusses the inevitability of market crashes and their impact on retirement planning, emphasizing the importance of staying focused on long-term investment strategies.

Since 1928, the market has returned over 10% annually — but the average investor only earns about 5%. In this video, I break down the data on market crashes, intra-year drawdowns, and why we're almost guaranteed to see another crash — and why that shouldn't change your retirement plan. I'll show you the real numbers behind all-time highs, the Peter Lynch paradox, and the emotional mistakes that cost retirees the most money.
