This week on Money & Investing, Mitch Olarenshaw and I take a deep dive into the psychology of spending and its effect on your financial future.

1. Impulse spending: Triggers and consequences

We begin by exploring the triggers behind impulse spending. Is it simply an urge or a way to fill an emotional void?

Learn how impulse buying can derail your financial success and how to identify these patterns.

2. Budgeting: Laying a strong financial foundation

We discuss the importance of budgeting and developing long-term financial plans.

Get practical tips on avoiding common spending traps and how to replace bad habits with more constructive ones.

3. Gamifying your finances
