The Passive Investor’s ‘Exit Strategy’: How to De-Risk Without Timing the Market 🚪💸
Let’s Grab You by the Funny Bone 🦴😂Investing can feel like navigating a minefield blindfolded while juggling flaming torches. 💣🔥 The biggest question everyone secretly Googles at 2 a.m. is: “When do I take risk off the table?” Too soon? You miss growth. Too late? You lose your shirt, pants, and dignity. (The market doesn’t care about your retirement, Karen.) Timing the market is a fool’s game.
