On 27 March 2024, Daniel Kahneman, the renowned cognitive psychologist, famous for his work on decision-making, sadly passed away. His research greatly improved our understanding of how the brain works when making choices, and some of the thought patterns and biases that could lead to poor decision-making. Kahneman applied these theories to the financial world and in 2002, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics. In our latest article, we look at the three crucial investing lessons you can learn from his work. Link in the comments below 👇 #Investing #CapitalAtRisk #FlyingColoursTransparent

I'm 65 with £180k in savings and want to retire next year - how much monthly income can I get? 🤔 This was the latest question we were asked to answer for This is Money's 'Ask the expert’ feature.👍 In his response, Chris Peters suggests four steps to a comfortable retirement: 1. Maintain at least 6 months' worth of total expenditure as emergency cash, easily accessible without penalties. 2. Plan for future financial needs alongside monthly income requirements, including one-off capital expenditures like home renovations or special trips. 3. Regularly review your finances to explore better interest rates and consider switching providers. 4. Explore the Government's Money Helper website for impartial guidance on savings and retirement.
