Many Psychological factors are the real drive behind spending and saving money. A study with people who filed for bankruptcy revealed that many bankruptcy victims had weak family relationships as children and were socially unhappy in school and this is very interesting. Most of these filers had extremely low self-esteem at this point. Also, people who had a very nurturing childhood and positive experiences with money at an early age were comfortable with money in general.
Also, women were found to have lower self-esteem when it came to men and money. Women often go into debt paying for a man who needed help or providing for others while men went into debt purchasing things for themselves. In both cases, the debtor is trying to prove something through purchases.
Among people who run into financial difficulties, 25% have serious problems and need psychological counseling, she said. Most of the rest simply need to face up to what led them into trouble. Most people with financial trouble abuse the ease with which credit is available today.
