Doug Collins has been a highly-respected analyst at the FBI for twenty-five years.

Thinking Money is an hour-long exploration on public television of what behavioral economics has to tell us about how and why we spend, save (or don't) and think about money. It presents some of the country's most innovative thinkers who mix economics with psychology. Their experiments and insights into our financial behavior enlighten and often amuse as we learn to recognize how both our brains and the marketplace can trick us into spending money we shouldn't. The program explores a whole raft of techniques, apps, websites and ways of thinking that help us to save for the types of things that make our lives more secure: emergency funds, our kids' education, and ultimately our comfortable retirements. A mix of fascinating theory and practical takeaways, Thinking Money is designed to decrease the stress and increase the bandwidth in not just our finance, but our whole lives.
