Beyond Budgets: The Psychology of Financial Behavior and Wealth

Update: 2025-10-02

Description

Dive into the psychology of wealth, examining how upbringing shapes our money mindset, leading to scarcity or abundance views. Through the Meera (instant gratification) and Sage (long-term strategy) analogy, we show how behavior impacts outcomes. Learn how emotions, like fear, can hijack decisions, causing panic selling during market dips. Counter this with beneficial inertia—sticking to your long-term plan during fluctuations. Embrace mindful money management by aligning purchases with your values. Rewrite limiting money stories by visualizing financial freedom and build a supportive financial tribe. Ultimately, expand your definition of wealth beyond numbers to include health, relationships, time, and experiences.
