In this segment, the speaker explains that his S&P 500 ETF has outperformed all of his individual stock picks over the past two years. Recognizing that constantly monitoring his portfolio was causing daily stress and diminishing his quality of life, he decided to sell roughly 70‑80% of his stock holdings. He frames the decision as a move to align his money with its intended purpose—reducing stress rather than creating it—highlighting a shift from active stock selection to a more passive, stress‑free financial approach.

My S&P 500 ETF outperformed all my stock decisions over the last 2 years. Sean, you want to tell them what you did recently? I sold not everything, but pretty much everything. I sold maybe 70, 80% of the stocks that I hold. Sean, why did you do that? I noticed that every morning I was waking up and I was checking it and I was like, okay, logically, I know I'm in pretty good shape here, but the stress of having to think about this is taking away from my like day-to-day quality of life. That's the opposite of what I want money to do. I don't want money to give me stress. My money is supposed to take away my stress.
