10 Ways Investors Lose Money Without Knowing It

Season 1 Episode 36 Published 5 months, 1 week ago
Description

Most portfolios don’t implode in one dramatic crash; they leak slowly. A percent here, a hidden fee there, and before you know it, your retirement fund has been funding someone else’s yacht. (Cough, cough...your advisor's...)

In this episode, I shine a light on ten common wealth leaks that quietly drain portfolios, plus practical fixes for each one.

We’ll cover:

  • How a “tiny” 1% fee can cost you a third of your returns.
  • Why overtrading turns your portfolio into Swiss cheese.
  • The real silent killers: taxes, spreads, and cash drag.
  • Why your own emotions can be more expensive than any advisor.

You’ll walk away with a checklist to plug the holes, lower your costs, and keep more of your money compounding where it belongs — in your account, not Wall Street’s.

👉 Think of this episode as financial plumbing: we’re finding the leaks before they flood your future.
