Disregard the headlines
When making a long-term plan, it’s not always a good idea to take notice of every internet gossip. This does not mean you have to live in your own bubble but there will always be doomsayers predicting an impeding market doom.
Don’t react and do something that might affect your ultimate plan. The market always has its ups and downs but it usually bounces back and people who stick to their resolve always take the profit.
