Comparison Is the Thief of Joy in Your Finances

Comparison can steal your joy — and even derail your financial future. In this episode of My Father Said, Ryan and Robert unpack why comparing your portfolio to someone else's is risky, especially when you don't know their goals, timeline, or the "game" they're playing. They cover how watercooler conversations create doubt, why your plan should be your benchmark, and how life seasons (age, income, debt, caregiving, inheritance) change the strategy. The takeaway: know your plan, understand it, and ignore the noise.
