Today we're starting a special Q&A series where we're taking questions directly from you: our listeners, clients and fans! The first question is about overcoming impulsive buying and the guilt that follows.
"How do you talk yourself out of buying something at the moment? I feel like I am such an impulse buyer and I have GOT to train my brain to not thrive off the instant gratification of buying something because immediately after I always have a guilt and then I beat myself up."
- We're talking about:
- The need to REtrain your brain to find excitement in saving money and focusing on goals.
- How to change your spending habits .
- Why changing them won't be easy (we're being transparent).

- How creating a more fulfilling life and finding alternative activities is key to reducing the urge to spend.
- How to recommend adding friction by making it harder to make impulsive purchases, such as deleting saved card information.
- How to recognize and remove oneself from the temptation in the moment.
- How to plan ahead for alternative actions when faced with the impulse to spend is crucial.
