3 Questions... | about money and mental health | Anthony spoke with Kerry Hannon, a columnist for Yahoo Finance and author of 14 books on money management, about the links between money and your mental health. |
|
| | How much are our emotions tied to our spending habits? |
|
| Our emotions drive most of our money decisions, whether we're anxious or soaring on good news. In my experience, it's better to get back to a neutral mindset before spending. |
| |
| | What is the 20% rule, and why do you recommend it? |
|
| To account for emotionally driven impulse buys, pad your budget by roughly 20%. I follow this rule, and so do other finance pros I've talked to over the years. |
| |
| | Fear can cause many of us to get stuck when making money decisions. But I think it can also be channeled to stimulate positive action, like planning for those concerns. |
| |
| How else are our emotions tied to our spending? Read Kerry's full interview. | |
