How changing your ’money mindset’ can help fix your finances

Your earliest money memories might be sabotaging your present day finances. That top you bought after a bad day at work? That savings account you keep meaning to open? Or that skimping you do on the bill at the end of a meal, that makes your friends’ eyes roll... Most of these behaviours can be traced back to attitudes and beliefs around money that we formed in childhood, according to Emma Edwards of The Broke Generation. In this episode we speak to the finance writer, podcaster and author about the narratives we carry into adulthood that get in the way of our fiscal well-being. Edwards explains how to figure out our subconscious beliefs around money, why you shouldn't skip this step and how self-discovery can break the cycle of self-defeating behaviour.
