Helping Adult Learners Understand What Drives Their Financial Decisions

Abstract: The financial decisions we make every day are only partially based on facts and logic. Our financial decisions are also influenced by inner drivers that we are often not even aware of–unconscious needs,wants, and “shoulds.” These inner drivers become the values that affect all of our financial decisions. The free LifeValues Quiz is a research-based tool that can be used with adult learners to help them understand the unconscious drivers that influence their everyday money habits. Session participants will take the LifeValues Quiz, learn about the 4 inner values that drive financial behaviors, and learn how to utilize the resource with adult learners. The LifeValues Quiz is a fun activity to include in programming that covers topics like spending, saving, and household financial decision-making.
