Go Banking Rates hosts its second annual 12 Days of Finance competition for the year’s most favored personal finance expert, and features Farnoosh Torabi of Yahoo Finance as she joins the ring with the biggest names in personal finance for the top spot.
EL SEGUNDO, CA, December 10, 2012 -- In its latest feature, Go Banking Rates reviews the expertise of Farnoosh Torabi, Yahoo Finance contributor, to give 12 Days of Finance voters a glimpse of her financial stance.
Getting young professionals excited about personal finance is a challenging endeavor, but with the financial savvy and spunky approach that personal finance expert Farnoosh Torabi brings to the table, more Gen-Yers have their ears perked for the juicy insights to money management she provides.
Torabi's latest book, Psych Yourself Rich: Get the Mindset & Discipline You need to Build Your Financial Life, she explores the relationship Americans have with money and says that feelings toward money heavily influence how consumers manage their funds.
In an interview on The TODAY show discussing the topics within Psych Yourself Rich, she comments on the fear that many Americans are holding on to with respect to their money relationship and difficulties in saving money.
"It's a huge problem," says Torabi. "When we harbor negative feelings with money and about money, what that ultimately does is creates a mind trap in our head -- these cognitive biases -- so that we are unable to make healthy, rational decisions.
She has been featured on television segments for Good Morning America, Larry King Live, The View, Live with Regis and Kelly, The CBS Early Show, CNN and much more.
Her journalism background proved successful, with her work being featured in notable publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Glamour, Marie Claire, Redbook, Cosmopolitan and The Huffington Post, to name a few.
