Everything you need to know about this educational webinar series
Financial decisions made during periods of stress and anxiety are often driven by emotions rather than rational thinking. A person may spend money to relieve tension or, on the contrary, become completely blocked and avoid making any financial decisions.
Digital tools can serve as a bridge back to control — they help track expenses without constant mental strain, visualize financial progress, and reduce emotional pressure. However, without understanding the underlying psychology, these same tools can intensify anxiety: notifications may cause panic, graphs may trigger guilt, and constant monitoring may become another stress factor.
Recent research (Journal of Consumer Psychology, Computers in Human Behavior, Frontiers in Psychology, 2023–2026) suggests that the thoughtful use of digital tools can reduce financial anxiety and restore a sense of control over financial decisions.
During the webinar we will not recommend specific applications and will not provide financial advice. Instead, we will examine how stress and anxiety distort financial decisions, what psychological mechanisms are built into digital tools, and how to configure them so that they genuinely support emotional stability and clarity.
