The world is full of uncertainties. How will Brexit play out? What effect will Trump's outlandish statements and policies have on the global economy?
Where is the New Zealand dollar heading? Will interest rates keep rising?
In amongst all these uncertainties and more there is a large bunch of people wondering if their retirement funds are in jeopardy and whether they will be stuck in the workforce for much longer than planned.
The reality is; there is no such thing as certainty (other than with regard to death and taxes); there are only degrees of uncertainty.
So when it comes to making good financial decisions, a key skill is learning how to manage uncertainty.
