You've probably heard the old Wall Street saying: "Sell in May and go away." But does that advice still hold up in today's markets? On this week's episode of Money Mentors, Gary Mattson and Laurel Steward of Mattson Financial Services explore whether seasonal investing strategies are fact or fiction. With recent research showing investors who stepped out of the market may have missed meaningful summer gains, they'll discuss why trying to time the market can be risky and how a well-designed retirement plan can help you enjoy your summer without constantly worrying about your portfolio.

Then, if retirement is five years away or less, what should you be doing right now? Gary and Laurel break down the key moves pre-retirees should consider, including income planning, maximizing retirement accounts, reducing debt, preparing for healthcare costs, and testing your future retirement lifestyle before making the leap.
