Hello, and welcome to Money Monday, where we help simplify your financial journey. I'm Darren Devine, Financial Planner with Sun Life and President of Devine & Associates. Today, we’re discussing the importance of sticking to your investment plan. When markets get bumpy, it’s tempting to make impulsive decisions, but staying the course is often the best path to long-term success.
Successful investing is not about timing the market—it’s about time in the market. When volatility strikes, many investors feel pressure to sell or make drastic changes. But research shows that emotional decisions can lead to missed opportunities and lower returns.
Having a well-thought-out plan tailored to your goals and risk tolerance gives you a solid foundation. Market dips are temporary, but your long-term strategy is designed to weather those storms. It’s not about reacting to every headline—it’s about focusing on your financial future and letting your plan work for you.
Discipline and patience are the keys to turning your financial goals into reality.
If you’re feeling uncertain about your investments or want to ensure your plan is on track, we’re here to help. At Devine & Associates, we work with you to help build strategies that stand the test of time.
