Have you ever looked at your bank account and wondered...
"Where did all the money go?"
You're definitely not alone.
Even with the best intentions, it's so easy to fall into spending patterns that quietly chip away at your budget and keep you stuck instead of moving toward your financial goals.
But here's the thing...
I’m not advising you to live like a monk or deprive yourself of everything you enjoy.
Rather…
I encourage you to align your spending with the life you're actually building, not the fantasy life that social media is trying to sell you.
In this practical episode of the Women of Wealth Podcast, I'm sharing the 10 spending traps that I've fallen into myself (and seen countless clients fall into) that quietly sabotage your financial progress.
Here's what you'll discover in this episode:
Why buying clothes and shoes for your "fantasy life" is one of the biggest money drains (and how to shop for the life you're actually living)
The truth about viral fashion trends and why "trending" isn't the same as "timeless"
How takeout becomes an expensive default when you're tired, and my simple meal planning strategy to break this habit
The subscription box audit that could free up $30-60 per month for your emergency fund or debt reduction
Why buying storage solutions before decluttering is just organising clutter (and what to do instead)
The guilt gift trap that drains your budget and teaches kids the wrong lesson about love
How sales manipulate you into thinking you're saving money when you're actually just spending on things you don't need
Why productivity tools won't change your life unless you actually use them consistently
My framework for spending according to your values so every dollar moves you closer to your goals
Every dollar you spend is a vote for the future life you're building.
The question is…
Are your purchases aligned with your values and goals, or are they just noise?
When you align your spending with what truly matters to you, staying on track becomes so much easier.
Ready to cut the financial noise and focus on what really matters?
