Over the next several weeks, we’ll be reading through Steve’s book, Power Up Your 401k, one chapter at a time. In today’s episode, we’ll tackle Chapter 3: Manage The Psychology of Investing.

Just like a sharp turn on a bike trail requires focus, balance, and measured action, managing your investments demands a steady mindset and a clear strategy. This chapter dives into the role psychology plays in how we perceive risk and shows how fear of the unknown can lead to decisions we might regret.

Steve explains that true risk comes not from the market itself but from being unprepared. He shares tips for maintaining momentum through economic cycles, how to avoid emotional pitfalls like panic selling, and why it’s important to understand your own tolerance for market swings.
