Our Biases decide for us Unconsciously
Numbers don't drive money decisions, Our biases do, and our emotions do.
Our emotions make us do some very stupid things. I know that we are all prone to biases that we don't even know we have. Sellers capitalize on this, so no choice is presented neutrally. For example-
Cognitive Bias- FRAMING EFFECT.
It means no information is presented neutrally. Given 2 Options, we'll always pick a story we like.
Assume, You are in a supermarket, and see a delicious product there, its packing says
- 70% Fat-Free
- 30% Fat
Most of us choose option 1 but see, these both are the same things but presented differently.
