Emotions are important part of being human, but leave them out of your financial decisions! Behavioral finance expert, and The New York Times best-selling author Dr. Daniel Crosby explains four issues that can derail your financial decisions. Instead of making decisions based on feelings and instinct, learn how to implement a more reliable system.

Consider benchmarking your financial successes, not to the market, but to the things in life that are meaningful to you. Learn how to develop a system that works for you and use it to automate your investment choices.
