Identifying and Addressing Common Financial Blind Spots for High Earners

In this episode of The Retire Early Retire Now podcast, host Hunter Kelly, a certified financial planner, discusses six common financial blind spots that high-income earners often face. Using a metaphor of a surgeon's pattern recognition, he explains how financial planning works and highlights the importance of coordinating financial actions to ensure a strong plan. The blind spots covered include confusing high income with a strong plan, overfunding retirement accounts, optimizing for taxes at the expense of life, focusing on net worth instead of flexibility, over-optimizing, and waiting for confidence before making changes. Hunter emphasizes the importance of having a clear plan, understanding trade-offs, and striving for flexibility to achieve financial goals and live a better life.
