ABSTRACT

Money seems straightforward enough. It’s a numbers game, after all: you either have enough or you don’t. Right? In our experience, money-thinking about it, handling it, managing it-is rarely that simple. There’s more emotional, cultural, and social expectation and stress tied up with finances than most people realize or are willing to admit. The tendency is to assume that more money would solve most problems when, in actuality, more wealth might make your life more complicated.
