Understanding the psychological factors influencing financial decision-making is crucial for improving personal finance outcomes. This study examines the impact of three key psychological risk attitudes risk tolerance, loss aversion, and overconfidence on financial behaviors such as investment decisions, saving habits, and impulse spending. The findings indicate that individuals with higher risk tolerance are more likely to engage in riskier investments, such as stocks and real estate, while those exhibiting loss aversion tend to favor conservative savings strategies, avoiding higher-risk options despite potentially higher returns. Additionally, overconfidence is shown to contribute to impulse spending, with individuals overestimating their financial acumen and making unplanned purchases. These psychological biases often result in suboptimal financial decisions, which can negatively affect long-term financial security. The study underscores the importance of financial literacy in addressing these biases, as individuals with higher financial knowledge are better equipped to make informed decisions. By incorporating insights from behavioral finance, the research suggests that targeted educational interventions can help mitigate the effects of these psychological biases, promoting better financial behaviors and decision-making. This is particularly important in emerging economies like India, where financial literacy remains a key challenge
