DESCRIPTION

ABSTRACT:

This article discusses some of the limits of the mental accounting process. Primarily, the focus is on the power of compounding and our inability to comprehend it mentally. The article also examines our bias for nominal as opposed to real changes. Given these human limitations, a thorough understanding of financial planning tools and models becomes significant for effective financial decision making.
