Steve Vernon (MoneyWatch) explains behavioral finance's applications to retirement planning, like unrealistic optimism and hyperbolic discounting. “I made a few of these common blunders during a recent visit to Amsterdam and came away with a better appreciation of the pitfalls we all face when planning our retirement.” “I was bike riding with my wife in the countryside outside Amsterdam on a beautiful summer day. We faced a choice: Return the rental bikes by 5:45 p.m., or wait until the next day, which had a forecast of rain.” Find out what happens and the link to retirement planning at: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-retirement-planning-lesson-from-a-bike-ride/

  8. As a financial life planner, my underlying assumption is that planning is a "good" thing. Planning is widely acknowledged to be a pre-requisite for business success.
