Have you ever wondered why we make the same financial mistakes over and over? In this episode, we're diving deep into the psychology behind those blunders, and it turns out, our minds play a huge role in how we handle money.Let’s start by talking about something called cognitive biases. Simply put, these are mental shortcuts that can lead us to poor decisions, especially when it comes to money. For instance, the overconfidence bias is a big one. It’s when people overestimate their understanding of investments or the market. This can lead to frequent trading, which might sound productive but often results in lower returns. Picture this: someone believes they can predict stock movements just because they read a few articles online. Instead of doing the smart, steady investing thing, they jump from one hot stock to another, thinking they’ll hit it big. But the truth is, more often than not, they end up losing money.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
