EP 128 | Fear of Missing Out & Loss + Reducing Anxiety in Retirement

On this week’s episode of "Investing Simplified," hosts Matt Sudol & Matt Mai emphasized the value of proactive, personalized financial advice tailored to each person's life stage and goals, highlighting that managing investments involves understanding both the fear of market losses and the temptation of chasing big gains. They unpacked how slow, steady investing—balancing risk and focusing on long-term objectives—can often provide calmness than reactionary moves during periods of volatility. The two also delved into FOMO, or the Fear of Missing Out, along with the Fear of Loss.

The show continued with a focus on retirement planning, referencing a recent Kiplinger article that laid out a four-step retirement roadmap: review your current situation, identify risks and gaps, strategize your approach, and execute the plan. Matt and Matt stressed the ongoing challenge of market volatility, health care costs, inflation, and taxes—especially in states like Oregon and Washington with lower estate tax thresholds. Throughout, the hosts invited listeners to seek professional guidance, reminding them that personalized consultation can help demystify complex topics and ensure they’re on the right financial path.
