Personal Finance Through History is a personal finance and history podcast exploring how ordinary people have earned, saved, spent, borrowed, invested, and survived with money across centuries.

Before budgets, credit cards, retirement accounts, and investing apps, people still faced the same questions: How do I survive winter? How do I avoid debt? How do I build security? How do I protect my family?

This podcast tells the forgotten story of personal finance through history—from ancient survival economics and early trade to banking, wages, inflation, credit, markets, and modern financial systems—and explains how those past systems still shape your money life today.

Each episode blends financial history, behavioral finance, psychology of money, and clear explanations of how the financial system works to uncover:

• How people managed money before banks and paychecks
• Why debt, credit, and interest evolved
• How wages, inflation, and wealth changed family life
• Why financial crises repeat across generations
• How fear, greed, and status shaped money behavior
• How the brain processes risk and financial loss
• What history teaches about saving, spending, and investing

This isn’t a stock-picking podcast or a modern money advice show. It’s a story-driven guide to personal finance, financial behavior, and understanding how history quietly built the systems that control modern money.

If you’re interested in personal finance, financial history, history of money, behavioral economics, psychology of money, how the financial system works, wealth building, and learning how the past explains today’s financial challenges—this podcast is for you.
