  • How to Prepare if the Market Crashes Before Retirement
    April 6, 2026, 7:36 AM EDT. Market crashes near retirement can disrupt plans dramatically. A strategy to delay retirement can provide flexibility, especially if both spouses work.

Crucially, maintaining a cash reserve covering two to four years of living expenses offers a buffer against withdrawing investments during downturns. This approach helps avoid locking in losses and allows retirees to ride out volatility. Being adaptable with retirement goals and having a substantial cash cushion can mitigate the impact of a late-career market downturn.
