Whether you realize it or not, most of us have some kind of bias when it comes to money. On today’s episode, we are going to explore four main biases that probably impact most of us to some degree and how we can overcome these barriers. 

Recency bias could cause you to lose money when the market is volatile. With loss aversion, people are looking for less risk when they really don’t need to be. So how do we avoid these biases and make sure our plan is protected? The goal of behavioral finance is truly to understand why we make certain decisions and how these decisions will affect our finances.
