## Resource

So the big takeaway here: You cannot time the market. You cannot know whether you will retire into a bull run or the next 1968. But that uncertainty does not have to be paralyzing, because the strategies in this series are not about predicting what happens. They are about building a retirement structure that can absorb the worst and still keep you on track.
