Reasonable Rational
You’re not a spreadsheet. You’re a person. A screwed up, emotional person.
It took me a while to figure this out, but once it clicked I realized it’s one of
the most important parts of finance.
With it comes something that often goes overlooked: Do not aim to be
coldly rational when making financial decisions. Aim to just be pretty
reasonable. Reasonable is more realistic and you have a better chance of
sticking with it for the long run, which is what matters most when
managing money.
