At what age do we make our best financial decisions? - Blog
I made my last significant real estate purchase at age 54 and a couple others afterward. I sold two large properties at 81 and 82. No longer feeling as sharp and quick as I used to I take more time to make decisions. My judgment based on years of experience now plays a huge role, not so much in my younger years when I depended more on mathematical analysis of deals rather than their "feel". Having majored in both physics and mathematics in college I think my math skills peaked in my twenties, though.
