There's a fun paper out on comparing typical financial advice with economic theory. Lots of interesting differences between those two especially around using floating mortgages and overall consumption habits. My coverage here: https://www.nominalnews.com/p/new-research-highlights-january-2023 and the paper by James J. Choi here - https://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/jep.36.4.167
