Have you ever wondered why, even knowing you should save, you
end up spending?
Why do some purchases seem irresistible at the moment
and unnecessary later?
Why does earning more not always mean being able to save more?
And why do certain financial patterns keep repeating
themselves, even when you promise that this time
will be different?
The answer may begin before the money leaves your account.
Your mind may be spending before you do.
In Your Mind Spends Before You Do, Luciana Priscila presents
a practical and accessible approach to the psychology
behind financial decisions, exploring how emotions, learned
beliefs, automatic habits, social comparison, reward seeking,
and mental shortcuts can silently influence the way we
deal with money.
Throughout the book, you will discover how to identify the
triggers that spark impulsive purchases, recognize financial
beliefs we carry without realizing it, understand why promotions
and immediate rewards exert so much influence, and differentiate
a true need from an attempt at emotional compensation.
You will also learn how to interrupt the cycle between desire,
purchase, and regret, create pauses before important decisions,
reduce automatic behaviors, and build new financial patterns
aligned with your priorities.
This is not a book about eliminating all pleasures to save
every penny.
It's about something deeper:
understanding why you spend before simply trying to spend less.
Because a healthier financial life doesn't just depend on how
much you earn.
It also depends on the decisions you make with what you earn.
Your Mind Spends Before You Can change the way you see
money—because, often, financial transformation begins
long before the bank account.
It starts in the mind.
