Money and relationships with Dr Scott Rick

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm on 14 February 2024

Google is not the best place to seek advice about what to get your partner for Valentine's Day.

The best gifts require a bit of sacrifice of your time and thought not just a lot of money says Dr Scott Rick who studies the emotions behind our financial decisions.

His new book helps us see the invisible forces that shape the way we handle our money  so we can use it to live happier lives. 

It's called Tightwads and Spendthrifts: Navigating the Money Minefield in Real Relationships.
