Shutdown headlines and midterm coverage will be everywhere this fall. Your financial plan doesn't have to follow along. On this episode, WHZ Managing Partner, Advisory…
A lot of people have been bracing for a shutdown on October 1st, but that's not actually happening.
Congress, uh, they, they, uh, passed a stopgap funding bill and, um, that was signed on September 2nd.
So now we're actually funded through December 11th, so we can get past those midterms with a, a budget in place.
So the next deadline is looming after the election.
Right, so we'll, we'll get past that and, um, you know, people seem to be worn out by the, the shutdown news typically and, um, you know, I, I think that's understandable.
And, um, besides the 43-day shutdown last fall, we did have another one with the, uh, Department of Homeland Security that went through a partial shutdown last spring.
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
Number two.
Yeah, so history, um, what it says is that, um, you know, we have these shutdowns, but people should be as calm as they can.
I mean, over the decades there, there haven't, there hasn't really been a, uh, dependable link between shutdown and how the stock market does.
So you just wanna be mindful of this and, um, uh, you know, just making sure that you're, you're being calm during these times and, and not reacting.
