How can emotion affect the way we handle our finances?
It's not uncommon for emotions to come into play when individuals are dealing with their finances, and these emotions can take different, different faces. Some people have a difficult time dealing with money if they have it. They don't feel that they should have it. Other people don't feel they have enough and they feel that they have to spend more and consume more because they just don't have as much as they want. Still others might inherit money, and they have this feeling that it is an enormous obligation to have wealth or significant assets, and they don't know how to deal with it, so sometimes they procrastinate and/or do the wrong thing. In addition, it's not uncommon for couples to each bring different elements of emotion to their finances. One party can be a spender, the other a saver. One can enjoy spending money; the other might really not like to do it at all. One might want to save, and the other might want to buy the latest technological tool or game. So, we all have to deal with it in one way or the other, and it is a challenging situation for couples and individuals, and it's kind of rampant throughout society.
