In this IIL financial services lecture Sharon Sutton FPFS will talk about the last taboo. Money; and our relationship with it. Our relationship with money is at the base of every positive human activity, and yet we are only scraping the surface of this particular garden of knowledge.

Exploring our history with money, its beginnings to current day crypto currency, to how we make decisions. Sharon will explore how human beings are irrational and how economists, policymakers, regulators and even ourselves can and do make flawed decisions. How today’s modern universities lack a crucial building block in social studies and what we can do about it. Ultimately how financial planning is the most important, most authentic profession of the 21st century.

By the end of this lecture members would have gained an insight into:

-Gain a better understanding of our relationships with money
-Understand the fearsome forces that money generates
-Learn about the work and output of Personal Finance Society’s Financial Planning practitioner panel, and so where to learn more
