Welcome back to Spend-tember! Today, we're unpacking the concept of the "fantasy self" and exploring how it influences our financial behaviours and spending decisions. If you've participated in my wardrobe challenges, you might already be familiar with the idea of the fantasy self when it comes to clothing. But today, we're broadening that lens to see how it shows up in various aspects of our lives.

Today I’m covering:

• Understanding the Fantasy Self
• Common Categories Where the Fantasy Self Shows Up
• How to Dismantle Your Fantasy Self
