Finology, founded by Richard (Dick) Wagner, JD, CFP®, is succinctly defined as the study of our personal relationships with money and what money means in our lives.

Academically, we define Finology as “the umbrella term for the various aspects of our personal relationships with money” (R. Wagner, Financial Planning 3.0, p.15). Finology

1.	The study of people exchanging value. 2.	The study of money and people exchanging value. 3.	The study of the relationships between people and money. 4.	The study of money and the forces it generates. 5.	The study of minds, brains, customs and behaviors with respect to money and money forces. 6.	The theories or systems of “Finology.”

Finology was created to address the profound and personal nature of money’s role in modern society. Finology opens new frontiers for exploring and understanding our relationships with money, bolstering our capacity to cultivate health in these relationships and to use money to help navigate life with more grace, possibility and joy.
