Trapped in the Spend Cycle? How to Break Free from Consumerism SB1693
Manage episode 487694361 series 30345
Is your wallet feeling lighter... but your closet’s full of regret? Joe, OG, and Mom’s neighbor Doug are throwing open the basement door to tackle one of the trickiest parts of personal finance: consumerism. Whether you're a recovering impulse buyer or knee-deep in buy-now-pay-later regrets, this episode’s got your back—and maybe your budget.
💸 Hear real stories about overspending and why value-based spending beats chasing trends.
🛍️ Unpack the rise of Klarna and other buy-now-pay-later services—and the hidden costs that come with them.
🌍 Explore how global economic shifts (yep, we’re going there) could impact your investments.
🎤 And just when things get too real, the team lightens it up with a no-holds-barred burger chain draft. In-N-Out? Five Guys? Wendy’s? Who makes the Stacker cut?
Plus: a shoutout to the troops, a TikTok Minute that involves Doug and a questionable egg sandwich, and trivia that’ll make you rethink your next holiday shopping spree.
You don’t need to live like a monk—just stop buying stuff you don’t even like.
