Spending Our Anxieties: The Motivations Of Financial Decision-Making With Christine Moriarty

Morgan Housel’s eye-opening book amplified the idea that the intersection of psychology and money is bigger and more bustling than most of us know. Today’s guest, Christine Moriarty, has dedicated her life to finding harmony between the two.

Christine isn’t the typical CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. Despite her finance degree and MBA in Entrepreneurship, she was never even remotely interested in finances. She was always more interested in the people behind them.

Money is just an object. Yet, it has the power to trigger our deepest fears and anxieties. Her mission, as the founder of MoneyPeace, is to help individuals recognize and overcome these emotional barriers, empowering them to achieve peace and prosperity in their financial and personal lives.

She also discusses money and memory and wants to help families plan for the implications the aging process can have on financial situations.

Having worked with thousands of people and shared her insights with publications such as USA Today, Good Housekeeping, Fidelity Focus Magazine, and more, she has often been referred to by her clients as “the cash counselor” or “financial therapist.”

Whether between a husband and wife, a mother and a son, two friends, or even a personal connection with money, relationships can be fraught and complicated. Listening to Christine can help us see the approach needed to improve that dynamic and positively impact our overall quality of life.
