The headlines are loud, the markets are messy, and your gut might be telling you to do something — anything — right now. But what should you actually do when your portfolio takes a hit?

In this episode, Jake and Nick offer advice for navigating a down market without making costly mistakes. They explain why emotional reactions often lead to regret, and how fear-based decisions, like pulling out of the market, can do more harm than good. That’s the value of having a financial plan that aligns your risk level with your timeline and needs. The markets may be shaky, but your plan doesn’t have to be.

Here’s what we discuss in this episode:

😬 Why emotions sabotage long-term wealth

🪣 How a “bucket strategy” softens downturn impact

❌ The myth of timing the market

🎯 Why good planning outperforms good guessing
