Abstract

With retirement comes significant challenges in making sound decisions concerning wealth management. Although people routinely make decisions throughout their lives, decisions made in retirement are critical because there is little time to recover from errors in judgment. This chapter draws from techniques and methods in psychology and the decision sciences to distill a set of principles that readily can be applied to making better financial decisions. The influences of aging on both cognitive and emotional processes are integrated into guidance for decision-making improvement.
