What If Your Brain Is the Reason You're Broke?

What if your brain is the reason you're broke? This personal finance video reveals the money psychology behind present bias, loss aversion, and the sunk cost fallacy — the hidden behavioral finance traps draining your money every day.

What if the real reason isn't your income, your spending, or your effort at all? Backed by real research from Daniel Kahneman, Richard Thaler, Dan Ariely, and Hal Hershfield, this video shows why saving feels like handing your paycheck to a stranger, why losses hurt twice as hard as gains feel good, and why sunk costs keep you throwing good money after bad — plus how to finally outsmart it.
