We all like to think we make decisions heavily based on purely rational thinking—but when it comes to money, emotions often have a seat at the table. Whether it’s the anxiety of a market dip or the thrill of a portfolio hitting a milestone, our feelings can shape our financial choices more than we realize. That’s why one of the most important yet overlooked parts of a solid retirement plan isn’t just the math. It’s how the plan makes you feel. One of the best measures of a financial plan is the confidence it creates. It’s hard to enjoy our retirement if we’re stressed about tomorrow.
