We like to think we make financial decisions rationally – but how much do our emotions actually influence the choices we make? In this episode, we explore the role emotions play in financial decision-making and why they aren’t necessarily something we should try to avoid. Together with Gesine Jordan, PhD candidate in Psychology at the University of Luxembourg, we look at how emotions, personal experiences and our financial background shape the way we think about and interact with money. From everyday purchases to major financial decisions, understanding what drives us can help us make more conscious choices.
