Ep 62: Mental Blocks That Mess Up Your Finances
Manage episode 343225856 series 2643568
Many of us get mental blocks from time to time. But did you know these blocks can also impact your financial planning?
We’ll explain what IKEA and bikes have to do with optimism and pessimism and why you might be handling your finances the wrong way.
What we discuss in this episode:
- How the “IKEA-effect” causes us to place a higher value on things we partially created ourselves. (1:00)
- Why being extremely optimistic might be the wrong approach when it comes to your finances. (3:18)
- How extreme pessimists sometimes have their assets in cash instead of investments and why that’s not a great idea. (4:49)
