Uncertainty is uncomfortable, especially when it affects your money. It hits the hardest when you don’t have a plan, or you’re unsure if your plan even works anymore. In this episode, Dr. Michael Liersch, Chief Planning Officer at Edelman Financial Engines, talks with EFE financial planner Ron Sisk about what’s causing uncertainty and worry among clients right now – including AI bubble fears, a recession – and how they’re tempted to respond. We’ll also talk about preparedness strategies, naming your worries and focusing on what you can control.
