DIY (not as easy as you think....)

About this episode

Colin and Greg discuss how DIY home renovation serves as an analogy for common mistakes in personal investing.

Investing well is supposed to be boring. Most people think great investing means staying on top of the markets, catching the right stocks, and making smart moves. Colin and Greg would say that's exactly the problem. In this episode of The Free Lunch Podcast, they use DIY home renovation as a surprisingly perfect analogy for what goes wrong when people manage their own money. The mistakes aren't usually the ones you see coming.
