Talking About Market Drops and Yo-Yo Diets In My Retirement Kitchen

Well, it’s here (again).  That dreaded day when the stock market goes barreling downhill like an Olympic Super-G alpine ski racer.  Typical in the investment industry is hyped-up jargon that leads to hoopla and headlines.

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

There’s a strong connection between preparing meals and planning retirement. Both need certain ingredients, recipes to follow, and timing that’s just right.

My motto to live by: "If you can make a lasagna, you can create a retirement plan."

In the "Marcia’s Retirement Kitchen" section, you’ll find fun ways to think about your retirement and get some of my favorite recipes. Just for fun!
