How do emotions and life changes affect money decisions?
The short answer
Money is personal. Early experiences, like growing up without enough, shape how we spend, save, and argue about money. Retirement can also bring an identity shift when work ends. Understanding the "why" behind your habits, and talking openly with your partner, leads to better decisions and a plan you'll actually follow.
