Good morning. Grant... I fully concur with your comments about "recession fears." And I love the advice that our goals must be out own... if they're not it's hard to buy into them.

Hi Grant! Love this one and completely agree that it's an individual decision. I also agree, one has to know their 'why' or motivation as well as their financial timeline before making ANY investment decision - any time.

Thank you for participating in this month's challenge, Grant!

Morning Grant.

I've already reached my goal for this year, anything else is just icing on the cake. Now, for next year, well that goal is already being being discussed

Grant, I use to say the same thing to people, if you fail to plan you are planning to failing for use!

It is very sad that the news has become such a farce, but then again, I guess it always has been.  I can recall why I stopped watching the news, it seemed like at least 90% of the information was not likely to be true, just sensationalizing a situation to make it more interesting.

Grant, as many have said, the media hypes this "recession" news, and we cannot buy into it!

Grant you are a wise man.  Form your plan based on facts and not on what others are trying to persuade you to believe.

Lottie - the point you repeat is the root of many problems.  Worrying about what others said.

Sharon - thank you.

Larry and Sheila - fortunately, much of the AR community doesn't either.

Great words here Grant! I feel many people plan to fail because they don't plan at all. It's a tough lesson to learn!
