How to use "Parsimony" in context?
When seeking to economize, individuals and organizations often turn to the principle of parsimony. Parsimony generally refers to the practice of reducing the number of decisions that need to be made, or the amount of information that needs to be collected. To apply this principle in financial planning, for example, individuals might seek to minimize the amount of different investment options they need to consider, or the number of accounts they need to keep track of.
The principle of parsimony is often difficult to implement in practice, however, because it often requires trimming back on features or options that may be seen as valuable or important by the individual or organization.
