The Broke Generation

In this solo episode I take you through the concept of the financial comfort zone, what it is and how it informs our financial behaviour.  Much like comfort zones in our broader everyday lives, financial comfort zones can keep you stuck in certain sets of circumstances, and make it difficult to make changes even when it feels counterintuitive to stay where we are. Insights in this episode have been extracted from my graduate studies in Financial Psychology, so buckle up and get ready to get to know more about why you are the way you are with money.
