Why We’re Bad With Money is a personal finance and behavioral psychology podcast about the real reasons humans keep making the same financial mistakes—no matter how smart we are.

We overspend. We panic. We chase bubbles. We ignore risks. We repeat patterns we swear we’ll never repeat again.

This podcast explores the psychology of money, behavioral finance, and the hidden history behind modern personal finance to explain why money so often bypasses logic and goes straight to emotion.

Each episode blends financial history, neuroscience of money, and plain-English explanations of the financial systemto uncover:

  • Why smart people make terrible money decisions
  • How fear, greed, and social pressure drive spending and investing
  • How the brain processes risk, reward, and financial loss
  • Why debt feels normal and saving feels hard
  • Why bubbles, crashes, and financial panics keep repeating
  • How childhood, culture, and status shape money habits
  • How to build better financial behavior by understanding yourself

This isn’t a stock-picking podcast or a motivational money show. It’s a story-driven guide to money behavior, financial decision-making, and understanding the human flaws that quietly shape markets, debt, wealth, and personal finance.

If you’re interested in personal finance, behavioral economics, psychology of money, financial habits, how the financial system works, investing behavior, and finally understanding why money is so hard for humans—this podcast is for you.

Why We’re Bad With Money Because the problem usually isn’t math. It’s being human.
