Investing Rollercoaster

Markets rallied in relief on some better-than-expected data on Friday.1 It was a bright spot in what has seemed like a relentless parade of bad news.

But the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq still all closed out the week with losses.1

Is this the bottom of the bear market?

Maybe. Or maybe we’re somewhere in the middle with the loop-the-loops.

How retirement will change by 2050


Will Millennials have it better or worse than Boomers in retirement?

Millennials will have some advantages that no other generation before them has had.1

They’re going to enter retirement with more education and the ability to work longer and save more for retirement.1

But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows.

Millennials will also have more student debt.

And they’re getting married, buying homes, and having kids later in life than their parents and grandparents. That could mean they put off saving for retirement, too.1

So, what does that all mean for retirement in the future?

Like styles and feelings, retirement changes with time. And those who are looking to retire in 2050 won’t have the same experience as today’s retirees.

So, how will retirement be different in 2050?

The answer to that is the focus of this month’s Aquila Wealth Newsletter.
