In this episode, we break down the real reasons why so many people make costly mistakes in financial planning—and why emotions, not the markets, are often the biggest threat to long-term success. From chasing trends you don’t understand, to panicking at dips with no real news behind them, to following the “lemmings” of Wall Street, we explore how emotional decision-making can sabotage even the best-designed portfolios.

We dive into the emotional cycle of investing, why euphoria is actually the point of maximum financial risk, and how institutional money managers can unintentionally trigger fear-driven sell-offs among everyday investors. You’ll also learn why headlines about bubbles, rumors, and volatility often distort reality—and why your plan should always guide your actions, not the noise of the moment.

If you’ve ever wondered why you react to the markets the way you do, or how to keep emotions from wrecking your financial future, this episode gives you the framework to think clearly, plan confidently, and stay disciplined when the market tests you most.
