Embrace Flexibility to Achieve Long-Term Financial Success

In this episode, we explore how the "End of History Illusion"—the misconception that our current self and desires will remain constant—can lead to poor financial planning. Many individuals make decisions based solely on who they are today, failing to account for the significant changes their preferences and goals will undergo over time. This oversight often results in extreme financial choices that may lead to regret and missed opportunities.
