Understanding Financial Behavior

A caller named Charlene discusses her struggles with managing her budget as a single mom earning $88,000 annually. Despite having a budget, she consistently overspends in her 'food and spending' category, primarily on takeout and impulsive shopping. The hosts emphasize that the issue is not purely financial but rather behavioral, stressing the importance of recognizing her emotional triggers that drive these expenditures. They suggest that by reframing her spending, cutting up credit cards, and focusing on her financial goals, Charlene can develop healthier spending habits and work toward her budgeting goals.
