What long term impact will the pandemic have on our finances, with Emma Maslin

Emma Maslin is a money coach and mentor who helps people understand their emotional connection with money to help build positive habits and a healthy money mindset. Emma is a passionate believer that financial health and well-being is not a luxury just for the wealthy: it is a basic need for all. Emma’s speciality is to equip people with both the right money mindset and the practical guidance and tools to achieve financial freedom. In today’s episode of The Wallet:1) Emma shares how emotional spending might work as we return to the high street, and how we can recognise our triggers and take a pause before making impulsive decisions. 2) I was also curious to find out what Emma thinks about the ‘collective global trauma’ (as reported by behavioural finance expert Neil Bage in an article published last month) that we’ve experienced in the last 12 months of the pandemic, and how this trauma will impact our financial decisions and attitude to risk. 3) Since investing has become more mainstream and trendy during the pandemic, Emma also offers tips to new investors to help them understand their emotions around investing and how to build a long-term investment strategy. You can follow and connect with Emma at: The Money Whisperer: www.themoneywhisperer.co.ukTwitter: @MoneyWhisperer_ We shared some resources in this episode.
