As a follow up program to the successful national release of the documentary Thinking Money: The Psychology Behind our Best and Worst Financial Decisions, MPT created a community event and produced a new program to expand upon the lessons learned from the original documentary. Thinking Money: Practical Solutions features a panel of financial experts focusing on real life answers designed to help each of us make better financial decisions. This video presents the full Question & Answer session that took place after the program:
