    Policy, Politics, and Finance

    Politics and financial planning should remain separate for long-term investors to ensure objective decision-making and minimize emotional responses. Political events can lead to market volatility, which might tempt investors to react impulsively.

This separation helps in weathering political uncertainties and fosters a stable investment strategy that prioritizes growth and risk management over short-term political influences.
