| 0:00.0 | This isn't about perfect timing or beating the market. It's about having a plan, sticking to it, |
| 0:06.6 | and trusting that the math does work most of the time because historically it does and it has. |
| 0:14.8 | Hello, friends. This is Tyler Gardner, welcoming you to another episode of your Money Guide on the |
| 0:20.3 | side, where it is my job to simplify what seems complex, add nuance to what seems simple, and learn from and alongside some of the brightest minds in money, finance, and investing. |
| 0:31.6 | So let's get started and get you one step closer to where you need to be. |
| 0:36.3 | Hey, everyone, welcome back, and thank you, as always, for choosing to spend some time |

| 1:46.4 | These are the important details that separate a good plan from a plan you can actually execute |
| 1:51.8 | without losing your mind at 2 a.m. during a market drop. |
