BT Talks - Mircea Miclea, about the relationship with money

The relationship with money does not start when we get our first salary nor when we learn how to make a budget. It is formed much earlier, from observations, experiences, and emotions, from the way we have seen adults talking about money or avoiding the subject. For many of us, money is not just a tool, but it comes bundled with fear, pressure, guilt, or, on the contrary, with the desire for validation.

In a new edition BT Talks, Mircea Miclea, psychologist and university professor, talks about these invisible mechanisms that influence our financial decisions. The discussion starts from a simple, but essential question: what role do money actually play in our life?And continues with an honest analysis of how emotions, education, and social context shape our financial behavior, sometimes without us realizing it.

Mircea Miclea explains why we do not always make rational decisions regarding money, why we procrastinate, why we overestimate ourselves, or why we completely avoid certain financial topics. Moreover, he discusses the importance of financial education viewed from a human perspective: not as a set of rigid rules, but as a process of understanding and commitment.

The dialogue is about balance, responsibility, and clarity. About how money can become a means that supports our choices, not a constant source of stress. And about how important it is to understand our own patterns before changing our habits.
