Invested Poorly: Sad Tales of FInancial Fails

S2 E4: Having a basic understanding of your finances and your overall investment strategy is the first step on the path to FI. The problem is, as time goes on, many investors feel obligated to make adjustments to, or “tinker” with, their plan—often unnecessarily.

The stories Jeff Harrell recounts in this episode may be some of the most relatable because it’s human nature to want to “scratch that itch” now and then by changing things up. The reason this is so prevalent with investing is because by making changes we feel more in control of our investments, when the reality is that none of us can control the financial markets.

Recognizing that success on your path to FI is determined by the decisions you make before you invest any money, will bring you one step closer to achieving it.
