Why your brain makes it hard to save money
In short: Managing finances often feels overwhelming because of how our brains are wired. Behavioral psychologist Wendy De La Rosa breaks down why we struggle with spending and offers ten actionable steps you can take in a single day to improve your financial well-being.
In this TED talk, behavioral scientist Wendy De La Rosa explores the psychological barriers that lead people to spend excessively while saving too little. Rather than focusing on complex spreadsheets, she advocates for a 'financial health day'—a dedicated period to simplify your relationship with money and reduce associated stress.
