Thus far, this blog has solely explored our relationships with other people -- whether they be our friends, spouses, family members, or coworkers.
While this will remain the crux of the blog, I would be remiss not to expound on our relationship with the medium of exchange on which we depend to procure goods and services -- money!
I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in marketing and a minor in psychology -- two subjects that certainly go hand in hand. In the coming weeks, I will be submitting intermittent posts that deal exclusively with money -- how we spend it, why we spend it, and ways to save it. I will also mention ways that money -- whether we have lots of it or not quite enough -- impacts our psychological well-being.
Does money buy happiness? Does having more money boost your self-esteem? Can having more money make you more vain? These questions and many more will be answered in forthcoming posts.
Again, while most of the posts will continue to have a "social psychology" focus, you'll begin to see some trickle in that have a "consumer psychology" focus.
I find the study of consumer psychology and consumer behavior to be fascinating, and I hope you'll join me as we navigate yet another realm in the vast world of psychology.
Stay tuned for more relationship tips and relationship advice!
