Hanna Horvath, CFP, is a financial journalist and behavioral money expert with over 9 years of experience examining the psychology behind financial decision-making.

This approach has resonated with thousands of readers through her newsletter, Your Brain on Money, and social media platforms where she reaches over 50,000 followers.

Hanna's work has appeared in Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, USA Today, and more. She holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Syracuse University. Based in New York City, she continues to explore how understanding our psychological vulnerabilities around money can empower better financial decisions in an increasingly complex economic landscape.
