What makes a bigger difference on your financial outcome: the behavior of your investments or the behavior of you, the investor?

Today I have an awesome interview for you with Carl Richards, author of “The Behavior Gap: Simple Ways to Stop Doing Dumb Things with Money” and “The One-Page Financial Plan: A Simple Way to Be Smart About Your Money.”

Both books are well worth your time.

In addition to being a financial advisor, Carl is the awesome dude behind the Sketch Guy column in the New York Times.

Enjoy the interview!
