Taylor Demars, CFP®

Taylor explores why so many investors get distracted by flashy ideas that promise more than they deliver. Instead of chasing hype, he breaks down the mindset and habits that help people stay focused on what truly drives long-term success. You’ll learn how to recognize a “shiny object” before it derails your financial plan. 

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

Beware of “shiny objects” in investing —many look better than they are

 📈 Guaranteed high returns usually involve higher risk

😬 FOMO is natural, but don’t let hot tips or hype derail your personal financial plan

🧭 Focus on your unique goals and peace of mind, not just chasing high returns
