The Psychology of Spending
Why do we spend money the way we do? Is it out of guilt or done on impulse? Learning why we spend money the way we do is the first step toward taking control of our finances. Host Joan Cartan-Hansen and Todd Christensen, Director of Education for the National Financial Education Center, discuss the psychology of spending.
