What constitutes a blue chip stock is subject to some debate, but the term generally refers to large businesses that reliably create wealth for shareholders. Most blue chip stocks have a wide market presence and a well-known brand, and many pay a dividend that consistently climbs over time. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Mastercard (NYSE: MA) meet most of those criteria, and both stocks could soar when economic conditions improve and the next bull market begins.

Image source: Getty Images Moving is no one's idea of a good time (and if it's yours, please seek help). That said, it's sometimes necessary -- to go to school, to change jobs , and ideally, to grow your life. Analysis from the U.S. Census Bureau based on 2007 data suggested that the average American moves 11.7 times in their lifetime. You can certainly DIY a move, but if you've been considering whether to hire movers, the extra cost involved might be giving you pause.

Over the past few years, the market has no doubt tested the patience and resolve of some investors. Inflation has made things more expensive to buy, higher interest rates and a slowing economy may be contributing to higher debt levels, and a bear market has caused most investments to lose a lot of value. These factors can all make it tempting to alter your retirement planning , but it is important to not let short-term issues affect your long-term strategy.
