Rebecca’s thoughts on financial planning
It can be difficult for people to stick to their preferred long-term investing plans when the news cycle is crazy and financial markets are extremely volatile. Sometimes those plans need to be reevaluated, but typically it’s best to try to tune out the noise of the daily ups and downs of the markets and stay on track with a strategy based on your own risk tolerance and timeline."
