Oh, seriously, Elizabeth. I think if you're someone who watches the headlines, whether for work or just because you want to stay informed, it can be very overwhelming. And I think many of us hold the sentiment that at least some of the policy changes or communications surrounding them would be laughable if they weren't so serious.

And some days that whiplash will have you just throwing up your hands and really that's a good time to get outside and go for a walk.

I think it's a big deal. I mean, there's a chance we look back at this 20 years from now and see it as less of a big deal. It honestly depends on where all of the policies ultimately land. But as we're living it, the real-time experience and potential impacts are significant.

I think what makes this moment different from what we've experienced in the past is both the drama of the actual policies, so the tariff amounts and who they're targeting, for instance, but the chaos surrounding them. And when you put those together, we haven't experienced anything like this before. In some ways, we really couldn't have.

Technology has really enabled this chaos to the extent that we're seeing. Now, more than ever, the entire world can be informed of the whims behind the actual policies. If the president or other policymaker's happen to be reactive and vocal, we're going to ride their roller coaster whether we want to or not.

So while the impact of actual policies could be significant, we're also dealing with this additional layer, which we've seen can move markets and shape behavior.

And it feels unnerving all the time as well. Yeah. So our traditional advice for people and what you hear a lot is to tune out the noise. Focus on the long term and the fundamentals of good personal finance management. That's what everyone is saying.
