We run a gauntlet every day.

And in that gauntlet is businesses and people who are trying to part us with our money.

And I will say, sorry, were you 21 when this was all going on?

Like, that's still quite young.

You should give yourself some grace for it.

You know, you've figured this all out.

Yes.

And, you know, you're you're on the right course quite early in life, too.

We spoke last series to Emma Edwards from The Broke Generation, who

who went into the money mindset and kind of we did a deep dive into that if people want to go back and listen.

Just in a nutshell then, for people who haven't heard that page, why is it important to examine our backgrounds and how it might be having a bearing on our spending habits and our mindset today?

And even if you come to that awareness, then what is the plan for actually stopping the unhelpful behavior or stopping the spending?

You know, there are things like, oh, leave it in the cart for 24 hours.

And if you still want to come back and buy it then, or, you know, this kind of thing.

I've absolutely done this.

Other people want to take this off.

So surely you do too.

Coming up, how to resist the temptation to spend.

Where are we at with consumer culture at the moment?

Because obviously what you've mentioned there is we've had this huge shift in e-commerce where it's just a thumbprint on your phone and all of a sudden the thing that you liked the picture of is now in a van, in a box on its way to you.
