Wed., April 22 at 6 Pm

Did you know that it is Money Smart Week? Join us for a free screening of the hour-long film "Thinking Money: The Psychology behind our Best and Worst Financial Decisions". If you've ever made a financial decision you regretted the next day, you're not alone. In fact, as the emerging field of behavioral economics reveals, we're practically hard-wired to overspend, an activity that lights up the brain's pleasure centers. Time after time, our emotional brain triumphs over our rational brain, a fact that we can blame on biology. Yet when it comes to managing money, changing our behavior is possible. You can override your emotional brain to be more financially responsible. Using humor, on-the-street interviews and provocative insights from innovative thinkers, "Thinking Money" explores why we spend, why we save (or don't) and how we think about money.
