Thing’s You’ll Learn Along Today’s Journey

When it comes to your money, how could you not be emotionally invested? No one will care about your retirement as much as you will and it’s up to you to protect your portfolio.

Most people like to think that they always make decisions based on logic and facts, but the truth is that emotions usually play a role for all of us in the decision-making process. How much can this impact your retirement plan?

Sean Lee takes on that topic today on the Retirement Elevated Podcast. Let’s explore the primary emotions that we see pushing people to react one way or another. As you can imagine, fear and greed are always associated with money but what other emotions impact us?

And are there any times where emotional-based decisions can benefit you? We come up with a couple scenarios where this might come into play, but we’ll try to determine whether it’s actually a positive or not.

Our goal is to always help clients build a plan with decisions rooted in logic and facts rather than emotion. That’s why we wanted to have this discussion and help bring awareness to something that creates challenges for many investors.
