Emotions and money
April 15, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY, and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M Its well documented in research that feelings influence behavior in individuals. Research also shows that women tend to be less confident about their financial wisdom. They report more confidence when working with a financial professional.
V Notice ‘working with.’ These are professionals who understand that woman’s values and wishes, which may be different from her husband’s. One widow’s comment. ‘I’m on my own. Right or Wrong its my decision.’
True, as Christ followers, we stand before God alone, accountable for our life. It’s important for both spouses to understand financial management.
M I summarize it this way. Responsibility (its ours) Accountability (God’s on loan to us.) Good for every believer to remember.
