Every week seems to bring a new wave of economic headlines — inflation, elections, war, interest rates, bank collapses. It’s noisy out there. And yet, as Jeremy calmly reminds us here, most of this noise doesn’t change the fundamentals of sound financial planning.
Check out the video here:
In this conversation Jeremy walks through what’s actually happening under the hood of the economy. The short version? There’s no crisis. While there are certainly pressures and shifting conditions, the market isn’t collapsing. What we’re seeing is volatility being amplified by the media and our own emotional reactions to it.
That’s why long-term strategy is more important than ever. A balanced portfolio, regular check-ins, and the discipline to stay invested will nearly always outperform emotional decisions made in the heat of a news cycle.
Jeremy also points out that some of the best investment opportunities arise when others are panicking — not when everyone feels safe. Being able to zoom out, trust your plan, and not react to every headline is, in itself, a competitive advantage.
So if you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a breath. Talk to your adviser. And remember: your financial future isn’t written in the headlines.
