The Psychology Of Money And Spending It | Dr Carol Yip | TEDxYouth@SJIIM

Author of “Money Rules”, “Smart Money User”, “Money Work Life” and “Credit Card Syndrome”, reveals how human psychology affects our spending habits which in turn affect the quality of life we lead. By looking into the human science of spending habits, it’s worth thinking about money as something which we have a complex relationship with. Our money is not a fixed entity, but rather challenges and opportunities which we interact with and have feelings about. Once we are able to reconcile the feelings and thoughts of our needs and wants, we will be able to live a happier life and reduce our financial stresses.
