Dr. Bradley T. Klontz, Psy.D., CFP® is an expert in financial psychology, financial planning, and applied behavioral finance.  He’s an Associate Professor of Practice at Creighton University Heider College of Business, Co-Founder of the Financial Psychology Institute, and Managing Principal of Your Mental Wealth Advisors.

In this episode, Dr. Brad shares the money culture he grew up in and how this has motivated him to be rich and eventually study how rich people live. He also talks about how our money issues are generational and how this affects our money scripts. Lastly, we also dove deep into the gender disparity in money and the impact of raising boys and girls differently around money. This was a really fun and interesting discussion, so I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!
