Financial Psychology – Why We Often Handle Money Incorrectly: Part 2

This course is Part 2 of the series „Understanding Money in Everyday Life“ and shows you why we often act differently with money than we actually intend – explained in a simple and understandable way. You will learn about typical thinking errors – for example, why we buy things spontaneously or fall for supposed bargains. We will also look at the role emotions such as fear, security, or status play in handling money. An important part of the course is understanding your own consumption behavior: Why do I spend money? What influences my decisions? You will receive simple strategies to handle money more consciously and make better financial decisions. The influence of advertising and social media will also be examined – because we often don’t realize how strongly we are shaped by them. The goal is to develop a better sense of your own handling of money and to avoid typical mistakes in the future.
