A financial heuristic is a mental shortcut you use to make financial decisions quickly and easily. These are also known as financial rules of thumb, and can guide your financial choices without requiring extensive analysis and avoiding information overload. In this episode of The Finance Geeks, we're putting these financial rules of thumb under the microscope.
We'll explore popular rules like the 50/30/20 Rule (50% Needs, 30% wants, 20% invest), the Rule of 72 (calculating investment doubling time), the 100-minus-your-age asset allocation strategy and the Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule), plus many more, revealing their strengths and limitations.
