Educational Webinar Series

About the Project, Program & FAQ

Everything you need to know about this free, research-based discussion on stress, anxiety, and financial decision-making.

About the Project

Stress and anxiety can significantly distort financial decisions. A person may begin to spend impulsively "to relieve tension" or become completely paralyzed and avoid dealing with finances altogether. Digital tools designed to track expenses can become powerful allies by helping individuals see their real financial situation, reduce emotional pressure, and gradually regain a sense of awareness and control.

However, without understanding the psychological mechanisms behind financial behavior, these same applications may increase anxiety and feelings of guilt. During the webinar we will explore how stress affects financial psychology, why digital tools sometimes help and sometimes complicate the situation, and how to configure them in a way that truly supports calmness and clarity.

The project is strictly educational and does not promote products, services, or commercial solutions.

This project does not promote any budgeting apps, expense trackers, financial tools, productivity platforms, or commercial applications.
