When money feels hard, it is often the system, not you.

This week on The Wallet, Emilie Bellet (Vestpod) is joined by Krystle McGilvery, behavioural finance expert and Chartered Accountant, to unpack why traditional money advice fails so many people, especially those who are neurodivergent.

They cover:

• Why financial avoidance is often a form of protection
• How time blindness impacts spending and planning
• The link between impulse spending and frictionless payments
• Why “discipline” is the wrong framework for money
• What a system that actually works for your brain looks like

The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not financial advice.
