Smart People Can Make Terrible Investment Decisions
from Upticks: A Financial Planning & Investment Podcast · host Jake Falcon
In this episode, Jake and Cory dig into reasons smart, successful people still make bad investment decisions. Pointing to recency bias, overconfidence, and financial media that markets fear and greed instead of sound strategy. They break down their belief of compound interest (not stock picking) being a better path to retirement, and ways "save first, spend second" can solve more money problems than people realize. The conversation wraps with a candid look at money in relationships. Reasons joint vs. separate accounts matter less than actually talking about finances, and ways couples can get aligned instead of avoiding the conversation altogether. --------------- Get your complimentary guide to retirement https://falconwealthadvisors.com/jake-falcon-book-signup.html?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=content&utm_campaign=rr_ebook Get Jake's weekly blog https://falconwealthadvisors.com/index.html?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=upticks#ID2GUSO1Sj8Upy1QWdqVxHOM Question for Jake and Cory?
