[quote=Anonymous]I'm 55 and have just reached the point where, in theory, I have enough money for a very comfortable retirement at 65, and even possibly an earlier retirement. About a quarter of my assets are real estate (my primary home and two vacation propertiesthat I rent out part time), and of the rest, half is in tax-deferred retirement accounts invested in index funds and half is in taxable brokerage accounts managed by a financial advisor (and pretty heavy on tech stocks).

I would feel really happy to have saved "enough" to feel really relaxed about retirement – except that with the political turmoil of the Trump administration, I am honestly freaking out a little about whether some combination of tariffs/inflation/foreign policy nightmare and domestic political chaos will tank the markets. As in, the value of my portfolio could plummet by half or something.

Is anyone else worried about this kind of thing? If so, what, if anything, are you doing or considering to reduce risk at this point?[/quote]
