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!

With thanks to our sponsors, Wallace Advocates and Lending Solved.
