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.
Some more things I wrote:
