Description
A light-hearted exploration of the emotional side of money. Many of us have good intentions about getting on top of our financial admin, budgeting better, and saving more, and in theory it sounds so easy. But then real life gets in the way, we're tired or frustrated or busy and somehow everything has slipped again. Money coach, Martha Lawton asks expert guests about how we normal humans can understand our financial behaviour and use that knowledge to manage money in ways that actually work in our messy, complicated lives.
