Episode description

The Sunk Cost Fallacy is easy to understand: you’ve spent the money, it’s gone, but you keep on doing what you’re doing, whether or not it makes sense, because you’ve spent the money.

You go to a restaurant and eat every morsel of food on your plate, whether you are full or not, because you’ve spent the money!

On today’s show Ted Michalos explains how the Sunk Cost Fallacy is a disaster with how you treat debt, and we give some practical advice on how to overcome it.
