Why is it so tough to confront important things head-on—including our money? Why does the first step feel so daunting, even when it’s a simple one? In this episode of the Wealth Kick, we go to battle with procrastination.

Find out why so many of us avoid looking at our spending, and get the nudge you need to take stock of your financial situation. Hear from the experts on how to stop stalling and look your accounts in the eye.

This is the second episode of the Wealth Kick, a limited series to change your perspective on money for the new year. Until the end of January, we’re serving up a little financial soul-searching, easy exercises you can use anywhere, and a few wacky stories.
