Talking about systems for personal finance

We hosted our first invite-only event for Emotions at Work in June on a topic we’re personally super curious about—systems for personal finance.

As we build the business of Emotions at Work, the two of us have regular discussions about money. Recently, we’ve been talking about (personal) spending and saving, in relation to making money—and all of the emotions involved. In particular, we’ve been struck by the power that organizing and visualizing our household finances have for decision-making and distinguishing between real vs perceived scarcity.

As we both love a good system, we got excited to share our respective systems and thought, wouldn’t it be great to have that conversation with a slightly bigger group?! That idea turned into a bit of “show and tell” and an enriching discussion with five other friends and collaborators.

Given how much fun we had, we’re excited to offer more opportunities for small group conversations on other topics through the lens of emotions—more details soon!
