It is normal to argue about money with our partners, kids, boss, friends or wherever money is involved. It is not healthy to avoid discussing our money arguments, but rather we need to draw them out, understand them, and work on a resolution process. We may be more willing to discuss money arguments if we understand that financial conflict is a normal aspect of any relationship. In this episode, we go over the 4 step conflict resolution framework offered by the Financial Therapy Association. .

The psychology of scarcity explores how people's minds are less efficient when they feel they lack something — whether it is money, time, calories or even companionship. Being poor requires so much mental energy that those with limited means are more likely to make mistakes and bad decisions than those with bigger financial cushions. In this episode, we discuss the book “Scarcity: Why Having Too Little Means So Much” as we dive into the impacts of scarcity. .
