Money is never just math. Money = emotions. Fear, skepticism, and guilt are powerful forces. When past experiences shape those emotions, even people who know the right move can struggle to make it. We have these memories and experiences tied to how we feel about managing our money, and until we acknowledge what those are, we will continue to struggle to simply “take the advice." #finance #moneytok
