What to do when your lifestyle creeps up on you: lifestyle inflation & how to avoid it

S04E06. It's so easy to fall into the trap of spending more when you earn more income. My friend Sunny and I chat about lifestyle creep also known as lifestyle inflation, what it is and some easy ways to avoid it. We also talk about how advertising plays into lifestyle creep and the hedonic treadmill, as well as consumer behaviour, and also get into a bit of a socialist conversation.
