As a non-native English speaking person who uses English daily basis, losing emotional burden seems one (possibly) positive side effect of a second language, whereas there probably are many negative ones for the decision making. In my experience, reduced working memory seems one important negative outcome of second language, which significantly affects problem solving. More chance of misunderstanding sometimes precludes good decision making. These negative aspects would be able to offset the benefit discussed here.
