Episode 16: Psychology of Money
Welcome to the Money Talks Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the Psychology of Money with a very special guest—Dr. Dean Hinitz, a renowned psychologist from University of Nevada, Reno. Together, we’ll explore how money shapes identity, relationships, and decision-making, especially for college students navigating financial independence. We’ll tackle key questions like what psychological barriers stop students from seeking financial help, how money influences self-worth and identity, why we justify overspending and how cognitive dissonance plays a role, how gender roles and societal expectations impact financial dynamics in relationships, and the ultimate question—can money really buy happiness? Dr. Hinitz brings expert insights that will challenge the way you think about money and help you develop a healthier financial mindset. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that just might change your financial future!
