Your Parents Gave You Their Money Problems

Show description

Listen to the Hidden Brain podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hidden-brain/id1028908750 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/20Gf4IAauFrfj7RBkjcWxh Long before you earned your first dollar, someone handed you a set of beliefs about money. A grandparent's panic during a bank run. A parent's rule about what was safe to spend and what had to be hoarded. In this video, we explore the inherited beliefs that financial psychologist Brad Klontz calls money scripts, where they come from, and why the people who understand money best still make choices they can't explain. ____ Hidden Brain, hosted by me, Shankar Vedantam, is finally on YouTube! Like my podcast, this new video series will explore the unconscious patterns driving human behavior, our choices, and our relationships. ____ FIND HIDDEN BRAIN ONLINE Website: https://www.hiddenbrain.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiddenbrain/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenbrainshow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiddenBrain/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hiddenbrain.bsky.social X: https://x.com/HiddenBrain Patreon/Hidden Brain+: https://www.patreon.com/HiddenBrain
