The SpaceX IPO is coming and I'm here to tell you to pump the brakes before you get caught up in the hype.

On this episode of the Retirement Matters Podcast, we break down why the SpaceX IPO is not your grandfather's IPO. Don't compare it to Apple. Don't compare it to Amazon. The fundamentals of how initial public offerings work have completely changed and if you're a retail investor expecting a massive pop on day one, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Here's the hard truth: by the time SpaceX hits the public market, accredited investors and venture capitalists will have already taken their cut. The early money has already been made. Retail investors are often last in line- and last in line usually means table scraps.

We explain exactly why this IPO cycle is different, what you should realistically expect, and how to think about high-profile IPOs as part of a disciplined retirement investment strategy.

If you're planning your retirement around the next big IPO- this episode is required listening.
