We live in a day and age when we have more information about and have more control over our investments and retirement than EVER BEFORE. That being said, we also have more responsibility than we have ever had before. With the stock market in a 10 year bull market, we must be prepared to invest when the stock market goes UP and DOWN and avoid emotional investing. Here are 5 Investing Fears MOST Average Joe investors have and how you can overcome them today!

Fear #1 FOLM – Fear of Losing Money
This fear affects all of us and it affect every part of our lives. We are wired to fear losing money more than we are too look to make money.

Fear #2 FOMO – Fear of Missing Out
Fear of Missing Out Has to do with the knowledge that you may be missing out on a great opportunity or experience which leads you to make decisions you would not normally make.

Fear #3 FOTU – Fear of the Unknown
Given the fact that we don’t know what will happen tomorrow with our jobs and our families, it makes sense that not knowing about the future for our investments/money likely can lead to no action at all.

Fear #4 FOPTMIF – Fear of Paying Too Much in Fees
This is a legitimate fear to have and one that should prompt you to know what types of investments have higher fees and avoiding them since we live in a day and age of ultra low-cost index funds.

Fear #5 – FONHEMWYNTRAHTWAAOG – Fear of Not Having Money When You Need to Retire and Having to Work as an Old Geezer
This is also a legitimate fear that can cause a great deal of anxiety for the Average Joe investor. This fear stems from the thought that we may NOT be able to retire how we want to and pursue the goals and dreams we want.
