Ever log into your brokerage account and immediately feel like you're falling behind? You're not alone.

In this episode, I unpack the quiet misery of portfolio FOMO and why comparing your returns to the wrong benchmark guarantees dissatisfaction. We'll explore how the investing industry exploits our innate tendency to compare, why the bar always moves even when we're "winning," and what the Buddha's concept of Right View can teach us about finding peace with our portfolios.

Plus, I share my 5 personal rules for dealing with portfolio FOMO—practical guidelines that help me step off the comparison treadmill and remember what investing is actually for.

Listen if: You've ever felt behind the market, questioned your investment strategy after a few bad months, or can't stop checking your portfolio even though you're a long-term investor.

Thanks for listening!
