Retirement. The word makes you envision sunsets, rounds of golf, and endless cups of coffee. But guess what: You might be sipping that coffee for potentially 25 years.

Panic selling and fear of missing out are opposite sides of the same behavioral bias, the herding bias, which is the most powerful of all in behavioral finance.

It’s All in the Planning

It’s not easy to plan for the possibility of debilitating illness or death. But by thinking about your desires, making good plans, sharing them with your loved ones, and reviewing and updating them each year, you can take comfort in the fact that your family will be provided for as well as possible.

Taking the Prudent Course

The strategies you put in place over the years can make all the difference to your lifestyle. But these plans and preparations will also be a comfort and support to your family should something unexpected happen.

Make it a point to meet soon with your financial advisor and/or family members to go over your financial situation, and to discuss your desires and plans in the event of an unexpected illness or death.
