Retirement trends: age, financial impact, and tips for managing investments and income.   In this episode of The Market Moment, Matt, Eli, and John break down what’s shaping financial decisions in 2025. They discuss the rising average retirement age in the U.S., how life expectancy impacts long-term planning, and what the FIRE movement means for early retirees. The team also covers today’s mortgage and refinancing trends, with 30-year rates dipping near 6%, and why fixed income investing is making a strong comeback after several volatile years. This conversation is great if you’re planning for retirement, exploring real estate moves, or adjusting your portfolio.   Sources: https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/ranking/life-expectancy   👉 Subscribe for weekly discussions on markets, investing, and financial planning and to join our growing online community of everyday investors.   📩 Comment below or send us an email at TheMarketMoment@mach1fg.com #FinancePodcast #RetirementPlanning #Investing #MortgageRates #FixedIncome #Mach1FinancialGroup #MarketMoment   📍 Hosted by the team at Mach 1 Financial Group, LLC — a Registered Investment Advisor based in Rogers, Arkansas.
