Why Irrational Retirement blog?
I know it`s hard to believe, but I find retirement saving very interesting, especially the part about human behaviour when it comes to saving, investing and spending retirement savings. Since I also like to write and share my thoughts, the idea of putting together a blog always sounded like a good idea. In July 2020 I finally went against my status quo and started this blog where I will share my thoughts on behavioral biases related to retirement saving and how we can turn them around to help more people save more for retirement.
For more info you can visit my social media pages.
