FPF 165 - How to Survive Big Market Declines

In this episode, Jerry Davidse of Presilium Private Wealth breaks down one of the most overlooked parts of retirement planning: building a financial cushion to help protect your investment accounts during market downturns.

Market declines can happen suddenly and without warning — and history shows that drops of 20% or more have occurred multiple times since 1980. For retirees who rely on their portfolio for income, selling investments during a downturn can permanently impact long-term financial security.

Jerry explains:

• Why a cushion matters for retirement income stability
• How long market recoveries typically take
• A simple way to calculate your cushion based on your annual spending and income sources
• How knowing your cushion helps determine the right mix of stocks vs. more stable assets
• Why ongoing monitoring and small adjustments can reduce stress and increase confidence

Whether you’re preparing for retirement or already living in it, this framework can help you understand how to protect your portfolio and stay invested for the long run — without reacting emotionally to market swings.
