Most people say they'd never overpay for a house—but then turn around and invest in overvalued stocks like it's no big deal. Why?
In this episode, we unpack the psychology behind financial inconsistency—and what it says about your ability to build wealth. We cover emotional triggers, risk perception, identity signaling, and why people make strategic decisions in one area of life… but default to compulsion in another.
You’ll learn:
- Why people treat overpaying in stocks as “risk-taking” and in homes as “reckless”
- How your financial decisions reveal deeper patterns around autonomy, security, and identity
- The hidden cost of inconsistency in your investing and life planning
- What it takes to move from self-reliance to true financial freedom
This isn’t just about stocks vs real estate—it’s about getting your inner game right so your money actually works.
🎯 Don’t make big decisions from unconscious patterns. Let’s break them.
