Is Retail Therapy Actually Therapeutic?

March 02, 2023 • Twigz • Episode 13

We all do it, retail therapy.
But a what point is it doing us more harm than good?
Sometimes I believe we buy things to get a quick dopamine hit in hopes, it'll just maybe cure the depression we feel daily OR we constantly compete with our peers to look cool & trendy, no matter how much money is REALLY in the bank account lol.

In this episode, I discuss a recent experience I had shopping at a flea market that led me to all of these emotions & feelings.
Who are we buying for? Are we doing it to seek external happiness? Are we even financially stable enough to be making these purchases? Or are we digging ourselves deeper into a more giant financial hole?

I explain tips that have helped me become more financially stable, stop impulsive buying & ways to avoid having buyer's remorse/financial anxiety. Along with realizing there are sometimes bigger dreams you have to prioritize than a $200 bag.
Remember, if you don't ABSOLUTELY love it...you probably don't need it.
