Individual Financial
Planning
l or Rotiremont
The responsibility for providing for a financially secure retire¬
ment has been shifting increasingly onto the individual.
Λ
number of implicit assumptions about perspectives, behavior,
and individual choices underlie this shift. These assumptions
presume that individuals are well informed, reason without
emotion, process information correctly, and that they make
rational decisions and act to maximize their own welfare.
Kmpirical evidence, however, shows that such maxims do not
often guide individuals actual behavior.
Building on a new structure applied to insights drawn from
behavioral
financ«1,
this book analyzes the perspectives of indi¬
viduals with regard to their financial situation in retirement and
compares the actions they take with ideal behavior. Using this
approach the author provides new insights into tho broadly
defined topic of individual retirement-specific financial planning
behavior.
The research is based on over
500
interviews with affluent
individuals in Germany and contributes to defining ways in
which policy-makers, financial planners, and individuals can
improve1 financial provisioning for retirement.
