  • How a Stock Market Crash Could Accelerate Your Retirement
    May 16, 2026, 7:18 AM EDT. A stock market crash may seem daunting but can offer early retirement opportunities for prepared investors. Key is focusing on what actions to take during a crash, not predicting its timing. Crashes often lower share prices, sometimes of solid companies with unchanged fundamentals, enabling savvy investors to buy at bargains. Higher dividend yields arise when shares are purchased at depressed prices, as seen with asset manager M&G. During the March 2020 crash, M&G shares' plunge led to yields exceeding 18% today, compared to the current 6.7% yield. This accelerated compounding can significantly shorten the time to double portfolio value, potentially cutting retirement timelines by years.
