Welcome to the early retirement show. If you are a long time listener, thank you. And if you are new to the show, as a reminder, this show is dedicated to helping you retire early, otherwise known as the show dedicated to helping you understand what you have to do to be in a position where you are financially free, where work is now optional. So whether you are a few years out from retirement and you just want to know everything to prepare

for that big date or you're new in your journey and you want to get a head start on maximizing

what you've worked so hard for throughout your life, this is the show for you.

So we discuss everything from investments to

taxes to insurance and everything that comes in between. So without further ado, let's go ahead

and hop into today's episode. Welcome back to the show. This is the early retirement podcast

and as always, just want to say thank you to everyone who has been leaving reviews

to everyone who has been rating the show that is how more people find it it is continuing to grow

every month and it is very fun to see so thank you to all of those who do continue to do so

i really appreciate it and i always like to start by just highlighting a recent review.

And so this recent one is a bit of a fun one from a peer of mine who says, Ari is a great

leader with a passion to help clients. We have taken courses together in the past and he is an

impressive guy. So thank you, Lance. That is a funny review, but I do appreciate your kind words,

truly. So I had a few different episodes que funny review, but I do appreciate your kind words truly.

So I had a few different episodes queued up, but I wanted to push those aside because of the market

and where we're at and the questions I'm receiving about how should I position my portfolio

as I approach retirement. I'm a few years out from retirement. I've had that question,

and how should I be positioning my retirement plan with this recent correction? And so we're

going to be talking about that in today's episode. And I like to start by inviting you to

think a little bit differently about market downturns. And here's where I like to start with

clients.

I will ask them, how are they feeling about the market?
