Lindsay Bryan-Podvin: Research says that about 80% of our decisions that we make are based on how we feel, not on our spreadsheet, not our budgeting app, not on our you know very cute smart goals that we laid out.
Yanely Espinal: When I visit schools, I constantly get questions from you all about the money issues that are important to you, so we have a whole new group of money experts to give us the answers that we need… like how come we tend to get tricked into spending money online?
Jasmine McNealy: For gaming, a common one is pay me, right? Pay me to go to the next level. You want to be ad free? Hey, pay us.
Yanely Espinal: And of course we have to talk about how to recognize who you can and cannot trust when it comes to your money, especially when you’re scrolling on social media…
