Ep 25 Brad Klontz: Your Relationship With Money Could Be More Important Than How You Actually Make It

Clear Choices Podcast

How is your relationship with money?

Do you hoard it? Feel like you don’t deserve it? Spend too much of it? Gamble it? Don’t understand it? You worship it? Do you think more of it will make you happy?

Did you know that how we feel about money directly impacts our current financial situation? With money being the # 1 source of stress in American lives, (and I imagine even more so now with our current pandemic and economic situation) is there anything we can do about it? I am thrilled to be joined by Brad Klontz, a financial psychologist, author of Mind Over Money, and co-founder of Your Mental Wealth. He explains why our relationship with money impacts our current finances and what we can do to transform it. We will hear how he got into this business, the importance of financial literacy and having a good money mindset, and how to alleviate financial stress by improving our relationship with money. With so much chaos, confusion, and complexity around money, especially right now, this message is more important than ever.

Dr. Brad Klontz is a financial planner and a financial psychologist. He is a partner of Occidental Asset Management, LLC, co-founder of Your Mental Wealth, and the Financial Psychology Institute. He has a passion for helping individuals and families understand their views on money and to assist them throughout their financial transformation by providing ongoing guidance and financial planning.

“Money is the number one source of stress in the lives of Americans.”

“Frankly, that’s where happiness comes from, it’s the ability to immerse yourself in the moment, to be present, and enjoy what’s around you.”

“There’s always opportunity in the midst of crisis and that’s the mindset that I think is most helpful.”

In this episode, you will hear: - How Brad got into this business and how this became his passion - Why Americans have such a hard time with money and what studies show can help - Steps you can take to improve your relationship with money
