In this episode, Sarah and Dennis discuss whether we should react to market volatility.

In times of economic downturn, it can be hard to keep the faith and stick to your long-term financial plan.

Should we be holding our nerve?
How should we react to high interest rates, even higher inflation, geo-political issues and media doom-mongering.
Why wouldn't we rush to move our money to a guaranteed rate savings account?

Dennis delves into the current economic situation and explains how data, history, and his personal experience of previous crashes, continue to support the long-term view.
