This week, Tash sits down with Emma from 'The Broke Generation' to get honest about how spending quietly shifts as income grows. From Ubers replacing public transport to $120 moisturisers feeling somehow reasonable, they unpack the small decisions that add up faster than most people realise.👉🏼 Why big fixed costs like a mortgage can make small splurges feel practically invisible👉🏼 The anchoring effect and how one expensive purchase makes the next one so much easier to justify👉🏼 Whether "time is money" is a valid reason to upgrade or just a slippery slope👉🏼 The case for setting firm money rules instead of making case-by-case calls every time👉🏼 Food, groceries, Uber Eats and where convenience quietly becomes a very expensive habitIf any of this sounds a little too familiar, this one is worth a listen.Case Study FormUse the code 'GRSC' to start investing on Pearler with $20 of free brokerage credits 💸@tashinvests@anakresina@getrichslowclub@pearlerhqGet Rich Slow ClubPearlerYouTubeHow To Not Work ForeverDisclaimerAny advice is general and does not consider your financial situation needs, or objectives, so consider whether it’s appropriate for you.
