Do your homework
How has the stock market been treating me, lately I have seen a downturn, profits from investments have evaporating a bit but overall, for me, I am still in pace for a comfortable retirement at the end of this year. As for the stock market, I feel I get back in results based on the amount of effort I put in. Over the last 15 years I have invested an average of 1 hour a day / 6 days a week reviewing my finances, making moves as I feel are required and it has paid off. I am retiring at 63 but will not need to file for SS till I am 70.
