Description

We all know what we should do with our money — update beneficiaries, review insurance, create an estate plan, rebalance investments. But why do so many people procrastinate when it comes to their finances? In this episode of Horizon Advisers Unleashed, Ryan and Andrew dig into the psychology behind financial inertia — the invisible force that keeps people from taking action.

They’ll explore common triggers that cause delay, from fear of making a mistake to information overload. More importantly, they’ll share practical strategies for breaking through paralysis and building momentum. If you’ve ever said, “I’ll get to it next year,” this conversation will give you the nudge to finally move forward with confidence.
