Why is it so much more fun to spend than save?  Can we re-wire our brains to make smarter financial decisions?  Join us for a showing of the documentary "Thinking Money" followed by a discussion with Dr. Christopher Niemiec of the University of Rochester Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in Psychology.  

 

Thinking Money explores:

  • Ways behavioral biases affect your financial decisions
  • Why too many choices can be paralyzing--How a good "nudge" can help you achieve your financial goals
  • How technology can be embraced to help you save money
  • Steps you can take to achieve greater financial security

 

Professor Niemiec is interested in human motivation, emotion, and personality in social contexts.  His research uses self-determination theory to examine the nature and functional significance of autonomy in a variety of life's domains, including finance. Thinking Money was produced by Rocket Media Group, LLC in association with the FINRA Investor Education Foundation and Maryland Public Television.  Distributed nationally by American Public Television.
