Staying employed, maintaining investment plans, and continuing to buy during market downturns will lead to long-term financial stability.
"In my honest opinion, I think the biggest risk with this market is for people who panic sell, for those who decide not to invest or for those who invest in very risky assets in hope of making a lot of quick money, but instead they can't afford to stomach the losses. In those cases, yeah, you might actually have legitimate problems. But for those who stay employed, keep their plan as usual, and continue buying in despite the lower prices, long-term, history has consistently shown that you're going to be just fine."
