This is hidden brain. Around the world, when you ask people what keeps them awake at night, they'll invariably tell you money problems. Most of us point to external factors as the root cause of our money problems. But psychological factors within us can play a powerful role in determining our financial successes and failures. Support for hidden brain comes from national car rental.
Money worries are one of the biggest sources of anxiety in the lives of Americans. This week, we kick off our new "Money 2.0" series with psychologist Brad Klontz. He says that while external economic forces often shape our financial well-being, our unconscious beliefs about money also contribute to how well we manage our money.
