Personal finance expert Paco de Leon: 'There's so many hang-ups people have about money that are emotional.'
it really is — and how so many of our financial choices are driven by emotion. Maybe you're a compulsive online shopper who knows you need to rein in spending, but can't seem to stop buying things when you're feeling low. Maybe you're stingy to the point that thinking of how to pinch a penny here or there takes up way too much mental space; you want to stop, but your brain won't let you. These aren't just poor spending habits.
Throughout the book, which is separated into sections about financial fundamentals, debt, investing, and more, de Leon explains that we've all internalized certain beliefs about money because of who we are and how we grew up. Coming from a wealthy family might mean that you had a head start on investing and wealth management resources.
"I think that I'm a very strategic thinker, so when I think about problems that I want to solve, I think about what problems I want to," says de Leon."Because no matter what workplace you're in or no matter if you decide to work for yourself, you're going to face problems.
