War, Markets & Your Money (Part 2) — Being Prepared

War headlines, rising oil prices, and market swings can make it feel like something bigger is unfolding. But while each situation feels unique, the pattern is often the same- markets react, investors worry, and emotions take over. In this episode, Don continues the conversation on how global conflict impacts markets and what that means for your financial plan. He focuses on what it means to be prepared- because the real question isn’t if volatility will happen, but whether your plan is built to handle it.

Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:

⚠️ Conflict impact: Geopolitical events can trigger short-term market swings

⛽ Oil & markets: Rising energy prices influence inflation and sentiment

📚 Historical lessons: Every crisis feels new, but patterns repeat
