Expert advice on savings, savings, salary and human behavior.

1. How to save with psychological tricks

Financial Conduct Specialist Wendy De La Rosa shares savings tricks that don't take a lot of energy but make enough money. You just need to get to know the nature of man a little deeper.

2. How to limit yourself and make the right decisions

Saving is not easy. It is difficult to explain to yourself why to give up pleasure now, if the future is so far away and it is generally not known whether it will come. Psychologist Daniel Goldstein explains how to work with self-restraint and why you need to learn how to do it.

3. How behavioral difficulties prevent us from saving

Economist Shlomo Benartzi also suggests thinking about the future. According to him, people perceive the need to save money not as an acquisition, but as a loss. To make saving easy, Benartzi encourages you to move gradually.

4. Why it is important to know how much colleagues get paid

Management researcher David Burkus notes that companies with transparent pay systems have fewer fights, and people are less likely to feel that they are underpaid. As a result, employees are happier and less likely to quit. With a different approach, the employer can use this secrecy to save money. It is enough for him to say that you cannot be paid more, even if a colleague at the next table receives a much larger amount.

5. How to estimate how much your labor is worth

Pricing consultant Casey Brown says you will be paid what they think you are worth. And your task is to impress and sell your services for more. Modesty will not increase your salary, and understanding your strengths will not.

6. How to find a dream job

Money is not all you need from work. You spend a significant part of your life on it, and bad work can poison your existence. Therefore, it is important to find something that you will enjoy doing. Scott Dinsmore's search dragged on for four years. Now he is ready to share his experience so that you start getting both money and joy from work.

7. How money affects our behavior

Social psychologist Paul Piff studies the relationship between personality, behavior, and finances. Research confirms that the old adage is true: money really does spoil people. A round amount on the account can change a person, even if we are talking about the game "Monopoly". But if you know what, how and why happens, you can fight against the deterioration of character due to money.

8. Why are we not far from monkeys in financial matters?

Psychology professor Laurie Santos taught monkeys how to use money and found out that in many ways their financial behavior is similar to human. For example, both they and we are characterized by irrational behavior and willingness to take risks in order to get more.

9. Why happiness can be bought and how to do it

Psychologist Michael Norton says: if you think that money is not happiness, you simply do not know how to manage it. But this time it's not about saving or investing. The speaker draws a simple conclusion: when you spend money on yourself, you buy things, when on others - happiness.

10. Why you need to honestly look at your financial problems

Tammy Lally does not provide statistics, does not rely on research. She tells a sad story, led by a reluctance to face a problem openly before it's too late.
