The Dangers of "Lifestyle Creep" in Dubai - with Dewi Evans

Dubai is a city of opportunity, but it’s also a city of temptation. Supercars, designer clothes, beach clubs—it’s easy to feel like you need to spend, spend, spend to fit in. Dewi Evans knows this feeling all too well.

In this episode of the Hoxton Life podcast, Dewi shares how he fell into the trap of lifestyle creep, where more money meant more expenses. But he also shares how he turned things around, learning to balance his lifestyle with his long-term goals. Now, as a financial planner, he helps clients across the GCC do the same.

We also dive into Dewi’s career journey, from starting as a paraplanner to becoming a financial planner under the mentorship of Lloyd Simpson. Alongside his career growth, Dewi found spiritual clarity in Dubai through practices like yoga, meditation, and sound bowls, which helped him stay grounded in a city that never sleeps.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Why lifestyle creep is so common in Dubai and how to manage it.
• The importance of mentorship in building a successful financial planning career.
• How spiritual practices can help balance ambition with well-being.
