In today’s market, especially the events which have occurred over the last few months, such as low oil prices and China’s currency devaluation, it seems as though these events should simply be classified as “noise” and should not deviate you from your initial financial plan. In essence, your financial plan should be geared towards long-term sustainability, not short-term fluctuations. The goal is to try your best to ignore the noise circulating the market news and stay true to your personalized financial plan.
