What Is the Sunk Costs Fallacy?
The sunk cost fallacy continues investing in something because of the resources already spent, rather than evaluating whether continued investment makes sense going forward. Money, time, or effort already spent is gone regardless of future decisions.
Also known as Concorde Fallacy, this is a informal fallacy — the error lies in the content or context of the argument rather than its formal structure.
How to Spot It
Example
"We've already spent $2 million on this project, so we can't stop now." The $2 million is gone whether you continue or stop. The question is whether additional spending is justified.
A Stronger Version
"We've spent $2 million and the project needs $1 million more to complete. Projected return is $800K. Stopping now loses $2M; continuing loses $2.2M. The better decision is to stop."
Warning Signs
- Past investment used to justify future spending
- Reluctance to abandon failing projects because of prior effort
- Phrases like 'we've come too far to quit'
- Emotional attachment to past investment
How to Fix It
When making decisions about whether to continue, ignore what you've already spent. Ask only: given where we are now, does continuing make sense based on future costs and benefits? Past expenditure is irrelevant.
