In this episode of Money Talk, I sit down with Scott Yamamura, author of Financial Epiphany, to dive deep into the psychology of money and how our mindset plays a crucial role in financial habits. If you've ever wondered why it feels impossible to break certain spending habits or why managing money isn’t just about math, this episode is for you. Scott shares insights on the cultural influences behind overspending, the power of visualization in financial planning, and how understanding compound interest can set you up for long-term success. This conversation is packed with actionable tips to help you shift your mindset and take control of your finances!
