Investor behavior can have a huge impact on our financial decision making processes. In this presentation we will discuss how investor behavior and our innate biases can impede us from making the best decisions for our family. We’ll talk about how we can get back to having a sense of control when we really feel overwhelmed with the information presented to us.

– Financial decision making can be highly emotional – We make our best decisions, financial or otherwise, with a clear, calm state of mind – We need to identify some of the emotions that we are experiencing when talking about our money—are we really making the best decisions for ourselves and for our family? – What are some of the steps that help us get to that clear frame of mind?
