Update: 2025-10-10
Description
Ever notice how the smartest people you know sometimes make the worst financial decisions? In this episode, Pete Dame unpack why intelligence doesn’t always translate to good money habits. From overconfidence and analysis paralysis to emotional blind spots and ego-driven decisions, we explore the psychology behind financial self-sabotage.
We’ll share real-life examples of “smart” money mistakes — from chasing complex investments to ignoring basic budgeting — and discuss why simplicity often wins. Plus, we’ll reveal the subtle ways our brains trick us into believing we’re the exception to every financial rule.
💡 Being smart with money isn’t about IQ — it’s about self-awareness.
