Do you ever experience not having enough money to live comfortably until the next paycheck? Have you ever borrowed money or used credit cards to pay for an emergency expense?

Unfortunately, there are negative psychological effects that impact an individual’s quality of life based on their relationship with money, debt, and the lack of education in how to better manage money. In this episode we discuss the behaviors and thoughts behind managing money and the impact money has had on the ways in which we handle our personal finances.
