Strong Markets, Falling Gas Prices: Smart Retirement Moves Now

Nick Hopwood, CFP® of Peak Wealth joins Daybreak with Steve Gruber to break down what’s happening in the economy right now, from easing gas prices to a surprisingly resilient market.

He points out that April marked the second strongest performance since 1950, a trend that has continued into May with markets staying on a winning streak. Nick also stresses that retirement outcomes shouldn’t be left to chance and explains why having a clear plan matters, especially when looking at historical downturns like 1968, one of the worst years in the past century to retire.

A timely and important conversation you won’t want to miss.
