One thing I've noticed, however, is that many people do not first examine their own beliefs about market behavior and investment philosophy before developing an investment strategy, which can lead to inconsistencies between beliefs and behavior. Here are seven questions that should be wrestled with and resolved before developing an investment strategy.

We can put more money away into our retirement accounts, work longer to delay depleting these accounts, and maximize employer matches by contributing more to our 401Ks. But is that really enough? Or is this old tried and true advice quickly becoming outpaced by inflation, rising tax rates and lowered investment growth?

You may encounter a lot of difficulties regardless of how "in control" of your life you think you are. You could lose a job, accrue debt, make a bad business or financial decision, outlive your retirement savings-the possibilities are endless.
