How We Spend Money

The Leonard Lopate Show | Apr 17, 2017

Jonathan Morduch, Professor of Public Policy and Economics at the New York University Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, joins us to discuss his new book, The Financial Diaries: How American Families Cope in a World of Uncertainty. Using data from a project that tracked 235 low- and moderate-income households over the course of a year, Morduch examines how families spend or save their money.
