DURHAM, N.C. — The perception of money and what it is really used for is the theme of two seminars sponsored by Duke University Federal Credit Union.

The free "Psychology of Spending" seminars will take place Nov. 14 and Dec. 19 and aim to help attendees understand their relationship with money. Jeff Dowd, associate chief operating officer at the $69 million credit union, will speak at the seminars.

He advises attendees to ask some hard questions before they open their wallet to buy something including "what would happen if I didn't get it" and "did I feel a need for it before I saw it in the mall?" Other questions to ponder are "what are the motives for buying it" and "what will I have to give up to afford it?"
