Some of the worst things you can do during this election is to fight with your family or end friendships because of a differing political view. Most elections, especially this one, can lead to heated debates, but it’s important to keep conversations respectful and not get angry because of a different view.
And, please don’t be that person that sells all of their stocks because their candidate of choice didn’t win. A shocking amount of people do this.
The reality is no one knows what will happen to the stock market in the next few months. The stock market will continue to be a wealth creation machine over the decades ahead. There have been plenty of “good” and “bad” presidents throughout history, based on your political views. But the people who have remained invested over decades, got RICH.
Remember to go out and vote. Don’t just assume your vote doesn’t matter. Every election is a chance to shape our future, and your vote matters. Know the time the polling location near you closes. And don’t forget about the local elections!
As always, reminding you to build wealth by following the two PFC rules: 1.) Live below your means and 2.) Invest early and often.
