More recently Glasgow University has identified
only four basic emotions; with fear and surprise sharing the same initial wide
eyed expression and a wrinkled nose being the starting point for either anger or
disgust.
So what, if anything, has this got to
do with investment and pension planning?
You may well ask!
In truth financial planning is as much
about the journey to reach your financial objectives as the development of
human emotion is about evolution.
No one wants to have a wide eyed fear,
preferring to have a wide eyed surprise, when it comes to their pension and
investment planning outcomes.
Financial outcomes are the result of
the route we choose to take at each review - unlike evolution where we get what
we inherit!
The financial journey taken is defined
by how we adapt to information and circumstances along the way; it is in the
planning that we can determine the extent of the ‘feel good factor’ we gain.
So with physics stating that the two
ends of a continuum are the farthest points apart and facial expression perhaps
differing on this matter; we really hope “you laugh until you cry”, for all the
right reasons, when it comes to your pension and investment planning outcomes.
After all: it’s all about the planned
journey!
