In this episode of Digging In, host John Savarino is joined by Nick Barnes, Operations Specialist, to talk about what record-high markets really mean—and what they don’t.

With headlines constantly pointing to new highs, many investors feel pressure to act. But Nick explains why reactive decisions often do more harm than good, and how prepared retirees rely on disciplined strategies instead of emotional responses.

They explore the importance of rebalancing, understanding the critical 5-year window around retirement, and why having a plan matters far more than trying to predict what comes next.
