Thinking Money
Why is it so hard to save—or sometimes, even think about saving—when we know it’s in our long-term best interest? "Thinking Money: The Psychology Behind Our Best and Worst Financial Decisions," is a public television documentary produced in association with the FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) Investor Education Foundation. It explores the answers to this question and others, like why we fall victim to fraud, why we have a hard time deciding how to invest, and why we go into debt for momentary pleasure.
