Personal Finance and Emotions

I just read an interesting post by Tim over at Canadian Dream. It rang very true to me, because I had recently posted about the disconnect between what I felt and what I thought I should be feeling. He makes the point that we make financial decisions based on emotion and justify them to ourselves afterwards. I recommend reading the post. When you're making money decisions, it's important to understand what is influencing those decisions. It's not an incredibly deep thought, but I thought that I would share it.
