Crash-Proof Your Retirement
The plan for the next market crash.
- A simple “bucket” plan so bills get paid even when the market falls
- A crash-day checklist: what to do, and what not to touch
- A calm 90-day plan for after the drop
Why a plan comes first
Storms pass. Selling in a panic is what does the damage.
Nobody can tell you when the next drop comes. Including us. But history shows big falls do happen, they move fast, and markets have recovered before:

What one forced sale can cost
Say you need $40,000 from your account this year to live on, and stocks have just fallen 30%. If you have to sell at the bottom, you use up far more of your pre-crash stock value to raise the same $40,000. Book 1 shows how to set things up so you don’t have to.
$40,000 ÷ 0.70 = $57,143of pre-crash value used up to raise $40,000
Illustrative example only, not a forecast or a recommendation. The worked example uses round, made-up numbers to show the math; it ignores taxes, fees and changes in prices. The historical drops are the S&P 500 price index, peak to low, rounded; past results do not predict future returns.
