Knowing Your Personal Finances
Do You Know Why Most Of Us Aren’t That Good At Managing Money?
By Donell Edwards

Did you know that in some ways we are hardwired not to manage money well?

In his recent article, 6 Ways Your Brain Sucks at Managing Money, Farrington shares his research on behavioral finance and neuroeconomics.
 
Here are some of his findings:
 
1.    Most of us are not very good at budgeting
 
2.    Too often we allow our friends and associates to influence our financial decisions.
 
3.    Why our brains suck at spending.
 
4.    Investing and availability bias.
 
5.    Our brains and the endowment effect.
 
6.    The theory of Mean Regression.

Disclaimer:  I have a Bachelor of Business Administration degree but I am not a financial planner. However, I have acquired years of knowledge about personal money management through my life experience working through my own personal finances that allows me to share that knowledge with readers of Know Your Money. The Know Your Money Blog posts written by me are my own common sense observations and opinions and are for informational use only. Although my blog includes contributions from experienced financial professionals, please make your own financial decisions based on personal research or contact a financial adviser.
