Everyone's Talkin' Money Revenge Spending: Is Your Splurge Worth It?
Alright, who has been guilty of a little revenge spending this year? I know I have. That dopamine hit is a real thing when it comes to spending. The truth is, most of us just haven’t felt in control during the pandemic so now you want to spend, spend, spend. However, is that a good thing for our bank accounts, but maybe helps a little with our mental health? As our guest, Dr. Jaime Peters, Assistant Dean and Professor of Accounting, Finance, and Economics at Maryville University says, “if you’ve saved up and you want to buy something great, but the problem is when you start stretching yourself to spend just to feel good again.” In this episode, Jaime shares what revenge spending is, how you can balance spending with achieving your money goals, and what you need to think about if we are headed for a recession this year. Let’s start talkin’ money.
