Distraction and why it's holding us back: SPEND-TEMBER

Welcome back to The Comments Section with your favourite chaos queens, Emma and Victoria! This week, we explore how money anxiety influences your spending habits, whether it’s splurging out of stress or holding back when you shouldn’t. We also unpack the importance of celebrating life’s non-traditional milestones and how viewing your life like a business—with a mission, values, and strategy—can help you take control of your finances and choices.

Episode highlights:
How money anxiety impacts both overspending and underspending.
The value of celebrating unconventional achievements unapologetically.
Using business strategies to make intentional life and financial decisions.

If you’ve ever struggled to manage your money or felt unsure about celebrating your wins, this episode will leave you inspired and equipped to rethink your approach.

With thanks to our sponsors, Wallace Advocates andLending Solved.

Year in review 2024: life, money, business (part two)

In this episode of The Comments Section, we explore the complexities of convenience and how it influences our spending choices. With the rise of modcons (modern conveniences, yes it's a real term!), we ask when paying for ease really adds value and when it’s just a clever marketing trap. We weigh the cost of time saved against the convenience of tech, gadgets, and delivery services, questioning if they truly solve our problems or create new ones. We also share practical ways to create convenience on our own terms, without the hefty price tag. From rethinking the convenience of certain purchases to offering simple, budget-friendly solutions, we share ideas on how to simplify life without sacrificing quality.

We want to know—what’s your ultimate modcon? Hit us up on socials and let us know!
