In this episode of Behavior Gap Radio, Carl talks about fear-based financial planning. He explores why many of us tend to delay gratification and make financial decisions driven by fear. Carl suggests that this behavior is often influenced by a societal overemphasis on saving for the future at the expense of enjoying the present. He makes a connection between this mindset and the idea of earning one's way to a better future, akin to an afterlife or heaven. Carl unpacks these ideas and challenges the fear-driven narratives that dominate much of the financial advice industry!
