This includes honing in on Structural Design (a “risk-appropriate portfolio, reasonable life expenses, etc.”) and Implementation (“portfolio rebalancing, auto paying bills, etc.”). These two areas can help reduce error, as well as following author Rubin Miller’s mantra: “I make the best decisions I can with the information available. And I don't stir if I have a bad outcome due to random, unforeseen factors, as long as the initial decision was high quality.”

The power of financial peace of mind: But according to Miller, the ultimate, first-class life hack is having earned a margin of error to not let unforced errors ruin your day. Knowing you are still financially sound despite a money mistake is one of the biggest ways to move on. Despite this, however, error is always inevitable at some point, and Miller shares three personal finance moves he regrets; Two including lessons on optionality and understanding your opportunity costs, and another on the elusiveness of material items (including an $11,000 white couch).
