Summary: Carl Richards, a Certified Financial Planner, has a knack for using sketches to break down money concepts into the fundamentals.<br> They have helped readers gain a better understanding on how to not let their emotions cloud their investing decisions, figuring out their financial needs, and how to weigh the value of time and money.<br> [smart_track_player url=”http://media.blubrry.com/couplemoney/traffic.libsyn.com/couplemoney/QA_Session_27_Carl_Richards_His_Sketch_Ideas.mp3″ ]<br> Numbers Vs Emotions<br> With his sketches Carl bypasses long posts about what people should be doing with their money and instead shines a light on the fears and questions we have about money.<br> When we were talking about his new book <a href="http://behaviorgap.com">The One Page Financial Plan</a>, I asked him where he got his sketch ideas and how long it takes to go from idea to being posted in the NY Times.<br> Some of my favorite sketches Carl has done are included with his money column in the NY Times.<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/21/your-money/the-trap-of-too-many-choices.html" title="The Trap of Too Many Choices" class="inTextRefer">The Trap of Too Many Choices</a><br> * <a href="http://bucks.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/25/talking-numbers-with-your-children/" title="Talking Numbers With Your Children" class="inTextRefer">Talking Numbers With Your Children</a><br> * <a href="http://bucks.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/03/25/tracking-your-finances-one-number-at-a-time/" title="Tracking Your Finances, One Number at a Time" class="inTextRefer">Tracking Your Finances, One Number at a Time</a><br> <br> Thanks again to Carl Richards for chatting with me for the podcast.
