In today’s episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez Jr. breaks down what he calls the “Retirement Shock” — a perfect storm that could devastate unprepared retirees.With AI stocks soaring, Nasdaq valuations stretched, inflation still elevated, healthcare costs rising, and millions withdrawing from 401(k)s and IRAs at record highs, the risk isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s structural.Carlos walks through real-time market signals — including death cross warnings on the Nasdaq and AI-focused ETFs— and explains why relying solely on market-based “red money” accounts like 401(k)s, variable annuities, ETFs, and bank deposits may expose retirees to a dangerous sequence-of-returns risk.More importantly, he addresses a controversial but critical reality: You may not legally “own” your 401(k) or even your bank deposits in the way you think you do.This episode connects biblical stewardship with financial prudence, highlighting Proverbs 22:3 and challenging listeners to position their portfolios with foresight instead of fear.
