I'm about 2.5 years into my FIRE journey, where I'm conscious of what I'm spending, what I'm saving and what I'm investing.
Just to be clear, I'm not panicking and don't have any intention of doing anything differently than the past 2.5 years. All of my investments are automated and I don't fool around with 'em.
Looking at the headlines today though, and for the past few months, it's all pretty panicked regarding the direction the market's going. CNN even has an article titled "Stocks Are Up But This Could Be the Worst December Since the Depression". Lots of grim predictions, etc.
Since the majority of the time I've been aware of my financial health, it's been a market that's been really nice to me, I'm not really used to this. I'm assuming these gloom and doom headlines are par for the course? It seems like sometimes news sites are really reaching to actually create some kind of panic.
Do folks here, on this site, start getting panicky at these as well?
