This is a topic that listeners may have seen me talk about in a YouTube video.
It's a video that I posted a few weeks ago now.
It performed quite well.
A lot of people watched it.
A lot of people had a lot of things to say about it.
So I'm excited to talk through the points and get your perspectives, Dan.
Tons of comments on the YouTube video.
There's a whole thread in the Rational Reminder community talking about this video.
It's kind of set up to be a topic that will generate lots of discussion.
So the topic is the biggest myths in personal finance.
I try to think through like what are the most persistent myths in personal finance that, like you said, then that lead people to make financial decisions that we might evaluate as bad if we had more information about the decision that was being made.
One example, and this one's probably the most controversial one, at least based on the comments on the video, is you should save as much as possible, as early as possible to benefit from compounding.
That is like foundational personal finance advice that a lot of people agree on.
I would say that it's at least incomplete.
And I'll explain why.
And we're gonna debunk nine more myths, kind of like that one, to hopefully help listeners make better.
Financial decisions.
I did talk to James Parkin, who's one of PWO's co-founders, about myth number one.
We had lunch together today, and I'll share he had some interesting insights on this one.
So the first myth is that you should save as much as you can when you're young to benefit from compounding.
