About Recession
A recession is a period of economic downturn, typically characterized by a fall in gross domestic product (GDP), high unemployment, and a decrease in business activity. A recession can have significant impacts on retirement planning and financial security.
During a recession, stock markets may decline, leading to losses in retirement accounts that are invested in stocks. In addition, unemployment may rise, leading to a reduction in income for some people and making it more difficult to save for retirement.
If you are nearing retirement or already retired, a recession can also impact your retirement income if you are relying on investments or other sources of income that are affected by market downturns. It's important to diversify your retirement savings and to have a plan in place for managing your retirement income during times of economic uncertainty.
If you are still working and saving for retirement during a recession, it may be a good time to review your retirement plan and consider ways to adjust your savings and investment strategy to weather the economic downturn. It may also be a good time to focus on reducing debt and building up emergency savings to help you weather any financial setbacks.
