Becoming an Independent Decision Maker

What this unit covers

Become someone who reasons about money, and decisions in general, on your own: pause to ask which framework, which bias and which review a decision calls for.

By the end you will be able to

• Explain why pausing to ask what a decision calls for matters more than memorising one method.
• Distinguish owning your judgment from outsourcing it, even when you consult others.
• Apply a short self-check to a real, pending decision without waiting to be told which method fits.

How it starts: The Question You Keep Asking Someone Else

1. A statement lands showing a fund down 9 percent this year.
2. Your first move is to find someone who can tell you what to do.
3. What would you have asked yourself first, before asking anyone else?

Words you will meet

SIP

A systematic investment plan, a fixed amount invested into a fund on a set schedule each month.
