Is Social Media Causing You to Overspend? – with Paige Pritchard
Are you finding yourself making more impulse purchases lately? You’re not alone. With the rise of social media, the temptation to buy is just a scroll away. But have you ever stopped to consider whether social media is the reason behind your spending habits, or if your emotions affect how you shop?
In this episode, we dive into the discussion with Paige Pritchard, a money and overspending coach. We explore the connection between scrolling through your feed and overspending on often unnecessary purchases and how the ‘perfect storm’ – pandemic, social media and technology – has changed how we shop and spend money.
Paige shares her very personal journey as a compulsive shopper in her early adult years and her journey to overcome the issue by confronting her emotions and changing her mindset. These days, she’s helping others to do the same.
