Financial Symmetry: Balancing Today with Retirement

Anchoring to an Arbitrary Dollar Amount


Listen Later

The behavioral and emotional side of financial planning takes precedence when planning for our future.

I see this play out frequently in the form of anchoring to a perceived value we’ve grown accustomed to, based on prior experience.

This “value”; however, can unfortunately lead to decisions that damage the success of our financial plan.
