Oct 6, 2022

Many of us get mental blocks from time to time. But did you know these blocks can also impact your financial planning?

  • 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)
