Lately, it seems focusing on financial decision-making and behavioral economics has developed more into trying to understand how people cope with financial stress and anxiety. Consider the seemingly constant new research, studies and polls showing how widespread financial worries can be. Not to mention the cognitive errors we all make when facing financial decisions that can often be freighted with their own stresses. With that in mind, I decided to see what kind of advice a professional might have about anxiety about money worries. Could Woebot, the brainchild of Alison Darcy (see full interview, here) and available via Facebook Messenger, help answer some of these questions of how to cope better with financial stress?
