Why it's going to be OK (hope inside)

Markets plummeted recently after a disappointing inflation report.

This is a quick note to tell you that it's going to be OK.

A few things I'd like you to keep in mind right now:

>> Big market moves happen frequently when the world is uncertain.

>> Feeling anxious about a selloff is normal, but it shouldn't drive your decisions.

>> We're in challenging times, but we're going to get through them.


Here's why it's going to be OK:

We've been here before.

Not this precise moment in time, of course, but...

We've planned for situations like these, where we see harsh conditions and volatility, but we don't know exactly how they will play out.

The strategy we've built together is designed to withstand these kinds of storms.


Most importantly, you are not alone.

I'm here with you.

We're in this together.

We're surrounded by amazing family, friends, and our community.

We don’t control what happens in markets, the economy, or the world.

We can control our long-term planning.


We can be grateful for our blessings and focus on what’s within our control: our mindset, our behavior, and the actions we take.

We make it through these times by connecting with who and what matters most to us.
