Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
It’s easy to create a budget to manage your spending — but you might find sticking to it is more of a challenge.

Can I change my money mindset?
Claer Barrett and guests on how to change your emotional relationship with your finances. Listen here
Battling with “buyer’s remorse” as she returned her impulse purchases, Rosie asked presenter Claer Barrett what psychological factors could be causing her repeatedly to break the budget.
Expert help is on hand from Tim Harford, the FT columnist and author, who uses behavioural economics to show how we can train our brains to resist the urge to splurge. Plus, financial coach Ellie Austin-Williams, who blogs online as This Girl Talks Money, encourages Rosie to explore her “money mindset” and probe her emotional relationship with her finances.
