Step away from your shopping carts! Before diving into your holiday purchases, take 35 minutes to tune into this insightful episode. Join us as we chat with Dan Ariely, a renowned professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University. His latest book, “Dollars and Sense: How We Misthink Money and How to Spend Smarter,” is packed with strategies to enhance your shopping experience.
Dan provides valuable insights into holiday spending, including why the act of paying can sometimes feel painful, what to watch for when a sale isn't a sale, and how to evaluate offers that seem “free.” In our Mailbag segment, we explore starting investments in your 20s and discuss how to approach estate planning with your parents, especially during the holiday season when conversations flow naturally.
Additionally, we uncover new research on the anxiety surrounding money matters and share a simple tip to help you feel more at ease. Wishing everyone a joyful Thanksgiving! We truly appreciate each one of you and are thankful for your support and feedback.
