Justin Mallik, the host of Optimal Finance Daily, comments on Kaylen Bruce's article, emphasizing that the best financial plan is useless if not followed. He agrees that adherence, driven by emotional appeal or personal comfort, often trumps purely mathematical 'optimal' choices.
“But the best plan in the world is worth nothing if you won't actually stick to it.”
“Then the, quote unquote, worst plan you'll actually finish, beats the, quote unquote, better plan any day.”
“Because a plan you'll finish is almost always the better one, whatever the spreadsheet says.”
