Psychology of Money

Psychology of Money

If money is “just math” … why do we still make decisions weregret, even when we know better?

In this episode of Financial Wellbeing by Emirates NBD, host Dana Kamber sits downwith Dr. Saliha Afridi (Clinical Psychologist, Founder & Chairwoman of The LightHouse Arabia) to unpack what’s really driving our money habits, the emotions underneath them, and how to break patterns without shame.

They talk about why guilt shuts down learning, how your nervous system can feel “unsafe” even when your bank balance says you’re fine, and why modern spendingis designed to hijack your dopamine. It’s a practical, human conversation onbuilding money confidence through awareness, boundaries, and a plan you can actually stick to.

→ “Enough” and why it can feel impossible in a comparison-driven world

→ How childhood experiences quietly shape your spending and saving style

→ Why couples fight about money even when they love each other

→ Spender vs saver vs investor, and what each one is trying to protect

→ Retail therapy, dopamine, and how online convenience fuels impulse buys

→ Simple “friction” hacks that stop mindless spending (without willpower)
