    345. Are You Reacting to the Headlines or Sticking to the Plan?

    You weren't worried about your portfolio at breakfast. Then you check your phone and see recession warnings, tariff headlines, Federal Reserve predictions, and market experts declaring that "this time is different." In this episode of A Wiser Retirement® Podcast, we discuss why reacting to headlines can lead investors away from their long-term financial goals. Drawing on decades of experience through events like the 2008 Financial Crisis, the COVID-19 market downturn, and the inflation-driven volatility of 2022, we explain why discipline, planning, and perspective often matter more than predictions.
