The Fear of the Unknown and the Cost to Find Out
Financial decisions are rarely made with perfect information. Whether someone is considering a new investment, starting a business, purchasing real estate, borrowing money, changing careers, or planning for retirement, there is almost always an element of uncertainty.
On The Michael Jacobs Radio Show, Michael Jacobs and Peter Mingils discuss an important financial and personal concept: the fear of the unknown and the cost to find out.
Fear can protect us from making reckless decisions. However, fear can also become expensive when it prevents us from gathering the information needed to make an intelligent decision.
What Is the Financial Cost of Not Knowing?
People frequently focus on the cost of getting professional advice, conducting research, obtaining an appraisal, consulting an expert, or investigating a financial opportunity. What they sometimes overlook is the potential cost of remaining uninformed.
Imagine someone considering a business opportunity that requires $25,000. Spending several hundred dollars to properly investigate the opportunity might seem expensive. But compared with losing $25,000 because important questions were never asked, the cost of obtaining information may be relatively small.
The same principle can apply to investing, retirement planning, commercial lending, business financing, insurance, real estate and personal financial strategies.
There is a difference between taking a risk and taking a risk without understanding what you are doing.
Fear of the Unknown Can Lead to Financial Paralysis
From a financial strategist’s perspective, uncertainty should not automatically produce either a “yes” or a “no.” It should produce questions.
What information am I missing?
How much will it cost to obtain that information?
What is the potential financial consequence if I make the wrong decision?
What opportunities could I lose by doing nothing?
Sometimes people spend months or even years avoiding a decision because they are afraid of making a mistake. During that period, inflation, interest rates, market conditions, business opportunities and personal circumstances can change.
Doing nothing can have a cost too.
Good financial decision-making is not about eliminating uncertainty. It is about obtaining enough reliable information to make a reasonable decision while understanding the potential risks and rewards.
