It’s easy to think retirement mistakes come from bad investments, but more often, they come from behavior. Overconfidence, comparison, emotional reactions, and chasing returns can quietly derail even a solid financial plan. The challenge isn’t just knowing what to do; it’s avoiding the habits that pull you off track. Today, Mark walks through the “Seven Deadly Sins” of financial planning and how each one shows up in real life.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

🦚 Pride Trap: Overconfidence keeps people from asking for help

👀 Comparison Game: Why chasing others leads to bad decisions

😡 Emotional Moves: How anger can derail your plan

💰 Greed Factor: Taking too much risk at the wrong time

🐢 Sloth Risk: Procrastination and neglect can cost you

🎯 Realistic Goals: Balancing today’s lifestyle with tomorrow’s needs
