Why a moodboard is the secret to mastering your money: LIVE REPLAY

Want to save more money without relying on willpower? You might need a moodboard.

In this live episode of Making Cents, financial journalist Frances Cook dives into the unexpected psychology behind saving money — and how a tool usually reserved for Pinterest weddings might actually be your biggest financial secret weapon.

Don't believe me? Here's what you need to know:

• Why traditional budgeting often fails (and what to do instead)
• The science-backed link between moodboards and higher savings rates
• How to use “future self” visualisation to beat impulsive spending
• What financial psychologists like Dr Brad Klontz have discovered about motivation
• Practical hacks like renaming accounts, mental accounting, and financial mindfulness

This isn’t about magical thinking — it’s neuroscience, and it works.

If you’re tired of spreadsheets, and want a way to make money habits stick, this episode is for you.
