The Psychology of Money

Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away

• Pink Floyd

Do you invite money into your life? Do you welcome it to stay once it arrives? What is this elusive concept of money and why is it so few know how it works?

Money is such an essential part of our lives, yet not taught in school. Our beliefs about money come from what we learned growing up, life’s ups and downs, and what we have learned through experience. Still… why does money seem to flow endlessly to a privileged few, while so many others are ever chasing it?

The meeting will start with a short presentation drawn from many authorities on the subject of money. We will then have an open a discussion about:

• The lack of education about money in schools
• Social demands - keeping up with the Jones'
• Temptations - It is so easy to buy things - shopping therapy
• Myths
• Get an education, a good job, work hard for forty years
• Money (or the love of) is the root of all evil
• Limited supply/scarcity - to get more means taking from others
• Money is a taboo topic - we do not openly talk about it

Join us for this interactive discussion about the psychology of money - which defines how much we make, spend, share, and save.
