Where in your life do you get stuck in short-term thinking traps?

What impact does that have on achieving your goals?

In today’s conversation, Kate and Evan discuss why weā€™re geared towards short-term thinking, how that can derail our financial goals and what to do about it.

What can we do to mitigate or overcome this bias?

  • Practice delayed gratification in other areas of our lives: anticipating holidays, saving up for items, planning things out, setting goals
  • Focus on building a long-term investment plan & portfolioĀ 
  • Regular investing: small bits, lots of times
