We're constantly told to earn more, save more and somehow become better at money. But what if feeling financially secure isn't just about the numbers?
In this episode of Biz, Lisa Lie and Em Vernam sit down with financial educator Jess Brady to unpack the emotional side of money, and how the way we think about it can shape the choices we make.
Jess explains what your "money monster" is, and how to stop it quietly sabotaging your financial goals.
We also get practical: how to automate your money so you can stop wasting time online banking, what a "fruit tree" goal is and why having one can change the way you think about your financial future.
In this episode you'll learn
- How childhood experiences around money can create "money monsters" which subconsciously sabotage your relationship with money
- How to eliminate those emotional barriers to create financial freedom
- How to automate your finances and stop constantly checking your bank account
- What a "fruit tree" goal is and why you need one
