Trump won the election in part because of a backlash against consumer price inflation on Biden’s watch. Several Trump policies will make inflation much worse.
I mostly agree with ski11erboi’s response. I’m actually not overly concerned with market performance - I would be surprised if Trump’s handlers allowed him to do anything so destructive to their interests. But if you think the prices of gas and eggs are bad now, just wait until we have a mass deportation and tariffs on imported goods.
If there’s anything to be concerned about as you approach retirement, I’d put social security at the top of the list.
Yeah. Worried about having to dip into savings for monthly expenses. I’m in Texas, so energy costs are always a concern. As you mentioned, concerned about delays and decreases in social security and Medicare in the future. I guess I’ll leave money where it is, try to reduce spending, and try to increase liquid savings.
