Don't you want me? Instant (and delaying) gratification

In this episode, Sev and Mel explore the concept of instant gratification, particularly how it affects different generations. They discuss the value of money, the influence of peer pressure and social media, and the role of dopamine in our spending habits. The conversation also touches on the importance of creativity, resilience, and the dangers of impulse buying in a society that prioritizes convenience and speed over quality.
