Thursday Apr 08, 2021
Thursday Apr 08, 2021
Millions of Americans find themselves in credit card debt, yet many of these same “spending victims” say that they have no idea how they got in such a financial bind. Today, we are introducing the concept of Behavioral Finance by discussing the rationalization of spending money. It’s all about the head vs. the heart, and there’s actually an enormous overlap between psychology and economics. We invite you to join us as we break down why we rationalize spending, why “keeping up with the Joneses” drives so many of us, and how to harness your willpower when window shopping.

It’s no shock that our nation has turned into a subscription-based market. The United States spends a combined 2 billion on subscriptions every year, and that trend is showing no sign of slowing down. For our younger listeners, Netflix may first come to mind when thinking about the dawn of subscription services. But the truth is, subscriptions have been around since the milkman! In this episode, we will discuss the evolution of subscriptions, what drives this trend, and how to avoid paying for services you don’t even use anymore. Tune in, audit your subscriptions, and learn to say “no!” to the solicitations for services you don’t need.
