Companies are using manipulative marketing tactics to keep us buying more and more. The endless consumption is becoming exhausting on our minds and our wallets, all while the economy feels increasingly unstable, so let’s take back control!

We wrap it up with a much-needed pep talk to break the cycle and stop buying stupid sh*t, so you can reclaim your financial power and find true happiness in experiences and connections. Remember, in a world that often feels out of control, discretionary spending is the one thing you can control.
