In this episode of Retire With Style, Dr. Wade Pfau and Dr. Alex Murguia are joined by behavioral finance expert Dr. Daniel Crosby to explore the intersection of wealth, values, and happiness in retirement. Together, they unpack why aligning your spending with your personal values can lead to a more fulfilling life—and how money, when used thoughtfully, can buy happiness. The conversation dives into the psychology of financial decision-making, the role of willpower, and why experiences and time often bring more joy than material possessions. They also examine how our values evolve over time, the importance of delayed gratification, and how understanding risk more deeply can lead to better financial planning. Ultimately, this episode reframes wealth not just as a number—but as a tool for building a meaningful and purpose-driven retirement. Listen now to learn more!   Takeaways: Aligning spending with personal values is essential for a fulfilling and meaningful life. Money reflects what we value most—and using it to buy time and experiences often brings greater happiness than material goods. Strong relationships and shared experiences are more important to long-term happiness than income alone. Retirement is a transition, not just an end goal. Planning should include emotional and psychological readiness—not just finances. Many people are unprepared for the emotional complexity of retirement, including the challenge of redefining purpose. While income matters up to a point, happiness largely depends on subjective factors—and some people may remain dissatisfied regardless of wealth. Investing in relationships and purpose-driven goals is key to long-term well-being. Values may stay the same over time, but how we express them can evolve. Willpower is less about discipline and more about building habits and making poor choices harder to access. Delayed gratification is a powerful tool for achieving long-term satisfaction. Fear of failure can hold us back—and often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. A great advisor doesn't just manage money—they help clients align their finances with their life goals. True wealth lies at the intersection of financial security and personal meaning.

Expect the Inevitable: Bad shots will happen. If you expect them, you'll react logically instead of emotionally. Avoiding Bogeys > Chasing Birdies: The best players focus on limiting mistakes rather than hunting for low-percentage birdie opportunities. Commit Fully to Every Shot: If you don't fully commit to a target, you're adding unnecessary variance to your game. Shape Your Driver One Way: Stop trying to hit both draws and fades off the tee—own one consistent shot shape. Lag Putting is Underrated: The biggest scoring leaks come from poor lag putting. Improve from 20-40 feet to eliminate unnecessary three-putts. Stay Emotionally Detached: The best golfers remain logical under pressure and don't let emotions dictate decisions. Key Quotes: "Golf and poker aren't just similar—they're identical."  "Every decision you make is a math-based decision, whether you realize it or not."  "If you expect bad shots, you won't react emotionally when they happen."  "Trying to force birdies will only lead to higher scores."  "Your opponent in golf is the course, and it plays perfect game theory every time."  "Winning is more fun than fun is fun—play smarter, not riskier."  "The key to golf is not being great—it's making fewer mistakes than everyone else."  Time Stamps: 00:00 Introduction and Personal Challenges 06:00 Mathematics in Golf and Decision Making 12:21 Detachment from Outcomes and Emotional Control 24:33 Risk Management and Bogey Avoidance 33:19 Understanding Risk and Reward in Golf 38:29 Common Mistakes of Single-Digit Handicappers 46:58 Mindset and Recovery: Lessons from Injuries 53:55 Learning from Mistakes: The Tiger Five 01:00:33 Key Principles for Golf Success

This is episode 75! And I'm thrilled to introduce my guest today. He is a true pioneer in the field of behavioural finance, Dr. Greg Davies. Greg is the Head of Behavioural Finance at Oxford Risk and has spent his career shaping how we understand investor psychology, financial decision-making, and the emotional complexities that come with managing money—especially in retirement. In this episode, we'll explore the behavioural traps that retirees often fall into, how to build financial resilience, and why understanding your own psychology is just as important as having a well-structured portfolio. Throughout our conversation, Greg and I explore the multifaceted aspects of retirement planning, emphasizing the importance of guaranteed income and its psychological benefits. We discuss how behavioural finance plays a crucial role in spending habits during retirement, the impact of inflation on purchasing power, and the distinction between risk and volatility in investment strategies. We also touch on future trends in retirement planning, particularly the potential need for and benefits of health insurance and a shift in focus from bequest to spending during retirement. Key Takeaways Greg Davis shares his journey from economics to behavioral finance. Behavioral finance combines psychology, economics, and finance. The importance of practical applications of behavioral science in finance. People often make poor financial decisions due to cognitive biases. Simplifying complex financial concepts is crucial for better decision-making. Emotional comfort plays a significant role in financial decisions. Retirement planning today is more complex than in previous generations. Technology can help simplify financial decision-making processes. Understanding personal values is essential for effective retirement planning. The removal of guaranteed income streams complicates retirement planning. Financial advisors often overlook the emotional aspects of retirement planning. Guaranteed income can alleviate fears of running out of money. Behavioral finance significantly influences spending habits in retirement. People with guaranteed income tend to spend more comfortably. Inflation poses a significant risk to retirement savings. Understanding the difference between risk and volatility is crucial for investors. Many retirees are too conservative with their investment strategies. Health insurance will become increasingly important in retirement planning. The focus of retirement planning is shifting from bequest to spending. Planning for retirement should consider both financial and emotional factors.

In the last month, we've aired podcast conversations with Dr. Nathan Fox and Dr. Bapu Jena, and though the content is different, there's an underlying thread that connects them both: what it means to deal with risk, and uncertainty. And not lose your mind.Economists deal with this constantly, and so do parents, but not in the same way. Economists learn not to panic in ways that parents, understandably, have a really hard time with. We're trained to read the studies, and spot their holes, or their aims and impacts. Yes, we live in a world with trace amounts of lead in Cheerios, and sometimes it can feel scary to leave the house. But things that are low risk are low risk, no matter how scary they feel.Today on ParentData, Emily reads her recent article on risk and uncertainty aloud, and encourages us all to think about risk like economists, so that we can internalize it as sane parents.Subscribe to ParentData.org for free access to new articles every week on data-driven pregnancy and parenting.This episode is generously supported by: Hatch LMNT Little Sesame StrollerCoaster Podcast

Can your wealth strategy survive a catastrophic loss, or is it just a house built on sand? In this thought-provoking episode, Hans and Brian explore the critical difference between true insurance protection and the misconception of self-insurance. They use recent events in California as a springboard to examine broader principles of wealth protection and risk management that affect everyone. Through real-world examples and careful analysis, they challenge popular financial advice about "buying term and investing the difference," revealing why this strategy might leave families vulnerable just when they need protection most. The conversation delves into how insurance companies evaluate and price risk, offering insights into why higher premiums often signal a greater need for coverage. This episode goes beyond theoretical discussions, providing practical wisdom about building financial strategies that can withstand unexpected events. Whether you're just starting to build wealth or already have substantial assets, understanding the relationship between protection and growth could be the difference between lasting prosperity and financial vulnerability. California's Policy Failures: An analysis of how state regulations, including premium caps and environmental policies, led to major insurance companies pulling coverage from high-risk areas. With average home values of $3 million in affected areas, the devastating financial impact on homeowners who lost coverage becomes even more significant. The Reality of Self-Insurance: Through the LA fires example, a clear demonstration of why "self-insurance" is merely asset reallocation rather than true protection. A theoretical case study of a couple with an $8 million net worth split between their home and investments shows how one catastrophic event can cut wealth in half without proper insurance coverage. Understanding Risk and Premiums: An exploration of how insurance companies price risk, whether for property or life insurance, and why higher premiums for higher-risk situations signal a greater need for coverage rather than a reason to avoid it. The Protection-First Strategy: A detailed examination of why protection must come before wealth accumulation, or else everything built could be wiped away by a single event. ▶️ Chapters:  00:00 - Introduction and California Contex 01:00 - Insurance Companies Pulling Coverage 02:00 - Current Events in PA and CA 03:00 - Raw Milk and Food Supply Issues 07:00 - Insurance Crisis Background  09:00 - Property Insurance Parallels to Life Insurance 15:00 - Risk Assessment and Premium Pricing  20:00 - The Myth of Self-Insurance  25:00 - Real-World Example of Net Worth Impact  30:00 - Protection First Philosophy  34:00 - Closing Thoughts Got Questions?

Ep 125 Description:  “When you feel empowered to make choices about your birth, even if things don't go as planned, you will remain more positively connected to the experience of your body and your baby. Keep your power so your voice and choice are heard.” —Debra Pascali-Bonaro     The concept of risk in childbirth is highly subjective, varying greatly among different healthcare providers and settings. What one caregiver deems as high-risk, another may consider a normal variation. The location of birth can also significantly impact the perceived level of risk, with stark differences in intervention rates between hospitals and home births.  Hence, in this week's episode, we are going to explore the complex and often misunderstood topic of risk in childbirth.  Tune in as Debra talks about the historical shift from birth as a sacred, communal experience to a medicalized event, the impact of language and fear on the birth process, and practical tips for creating a more positive, pleasurable, and empowering birth journey.

Welcome back to the Hosting Hotline! This is an Ask Me Anything where each week we'll answer your questions on Airbnb, STRs, real estate, and everything in between.Kendra asks:We purchased a property, my husband's pipe dream, in western Wisconsin on the trout streams where he grew up fishing. We launched it on Airbnb and VRBO in March. It's called the Trimbelle Cottage and we've had good success with consistent bookings and buzz in the area since that time.We had someone reach out asking to book it as a mid-term rental from November through March of next year. I believe those would be our slower months anyway. But it's hard to know because we haven't had it on the market for a whole year yet.We're trying to decide if it's best for us to go for what seems to be a safer mid-term route. Do we risk losing ground in the STR market, on the algorithm, Instagram, or word of mouth?
