Retirement Decisions and Financial Biases

Deciding when to retire is a complex challenge that often involves cognitive and emotional biases that can cloud judgment. Individual biases, such as overconfidence and loss aversion, can lead to suboptimal financial decisions, including portfolio management and retirement planning. It is essential to understand these biases to make more informed decisions, such as when to begin withdrawing from retirement accounts or how to protect assets against inflation. Practical advice and strategies can help individuals navigate these pitfalls to achieve more secure financial futures.
