You know, we all are like emotional monkeys that live in the moment regarding money. Have you ever found yourself in the habit of shopping on Amazon late at night only to realize that you don’t really need what you just bought? You are so not alone. The good news, according to Val Agostino, the CEO and co-founder of Monarch Money, the modern personal finance management platform and my favorite personal finance management platform, says this is all part of being a human. The trick to breaking these money patterns is to become aware of the fact that you are repeating patterns from some emotional spot. Awareness of these money patterns is the first step in changing money behaviors. The secret we discuss in this episode is to get emotionally attached to your goals. That is where the magic lives. Get this: if you can emotionally live in the things you really want, the chances of you achieving that money goal are very possible.
