We often talk about the characteristics of successful people and wise investors, but what about the other side of the coin? What does it look like to be a bad investor?
On this episode of The Financial Answer podcast, we’ll take a look at the most common mistakes you’ll see the worst investors making. If you want to build a retirement plan that continues to grow and flourish, avoid these actions and you’ll be okay.
