Tariffs Are Hitting Hard: Don’t Let Your 401(k) Take the Fall

If you haven’t checked your 401(k) lately, now is not the time to stay in the dark.

New tariffs and global tensions are shaking up the market—and if you're less than 10 years from retirement, you could be standing on a burning platform without even realizing it.

Many people think they just need to “ride it out.” But here’s the truth:

🛑 You may be too close to retirement to recover from another major dip.

Every dollar lost now takes more time, effort, and risk to rebuild. And the market doesn’t care that you’re getting closer to needing that money.

🔥 Tariffs increase costs. 📉 Companies pass it on, profits drop. 💥 Stock values fall—and so does your 401(k).

✅ What You Should Do Instead:

🔍 Assess your exposure now—not later. Ignoring it doesn’t protect it.
🔄 Reallocate your portfolio to reduce risk without sacrificing growth.
🛡️ Explore safer strategies like Indexed Universal Life (IUL) and annuities that offer protection with growth potential—especially important when the market is this volatile.
📈 Maximize your Social Security timing to make sure you're not leaving money on the table when you need it most.

You’ve worked too hard to build that nest egg just to see it disappear.
