Money Feels

78: Why Money Feels Fake


Listen Later

Have you ever looked at your bank account and thought… this doesn’t feel real? In this episode of Money Feels, we’re digging into the idea that money might not be as concrete as we think. From the history of how our currency came to be, to why our brains treat money like a survival need, we’re unpacking why money feels fake — and why that feeling actually makes a lot of sense.

We're your hosts, Alyssa and Bridget. Welcome to the podcast, where we talk through our money trauma and create a better understanding of building a healthy relationship with finance.

In today's episode, we discuss the following:

  • Why modern money isn’t backed by anything tangible
  • The role of trust in making money “real”
  • Historical examples of currency collapse and what we can learn from them
  • The emotional impact of money scarcity, even when we’re financially stable
  • How our money beliefs are shaped by our upbringing and economic systems
  • What we might focus on if money didn’t rule our decisions
