Thank you.

When in doubt, touch grass. Liz, can you give us a sense of where all this uncertainty falls historically? Of course, we had the pandemic five years ago And the 2008 financial crisis was somehow almost 20 years ago now. And then there have been plenty of other chaotic times before that. How would you describe this moment in that context? Is it a big deal? Is it a blip?

That's smart. When people ask me what they should do with their money right now, well, first of all, I remind them that I won't tell them what to do with their money unless they are a client of my financial planning firm. I suggest that they think about the current uncertainty kind of like a storm cloud on the horizon. It might come this way. It might go elsewhere. It might dissipate.

But you want to take proactive steps now to protect yourself just in case. So maybe that means foregoing some discretionary spending to beef up your emergency savings or taking a risk tolerance questionnaire and also avoid making overly emotional financial decisions. What about you, Elizabeth?

So Liz, how do you know when it's really time to worry? Are there some signs to look for that tell us, yeah, maybe it's actually time to think about doing something different than we've been doing? What worries you?

Elizabeth, I did not know that. But having just returned from 10 days in the UK, I can absolutely see why.
