Description


In today's episode, I talk about the strategies I've been trying to address over-acquisition and manage my finances, from savings pots to practising 'just-in-time' shopping. I explain how these methods, alongside mindfully resisting impulse buys and more, are helping me reduce clutter.



  • Personal Financial Management

  • Dedicated accounts with savings pots for various expenses like glasses, car repairs, and gifts.

  • Spending limits.

  • Evaluating the necessity of purchases.

  • Reflecting on past financial struggles.

  • The tendency to overprepare due to fear of scarcity.

  • The impact of hoarding on life, such as emotional pain from bereavements.

  • The challenge of trusting that resources will be available when needed.

  • Shopping Habits and Strategies

  • Emphasising rationality in shopping.

  • The "just in time" shopping approach to combat over-acquiring.

  • Mindful shopping techniques

  • Checking existing supplies before shopping.

  • Using shopping lists with flexible categories.

  • Resisting urge-driven purchases like discounts.

  • Mindful Financial Practices

  • Exploring alternative uses for money beyond impulse buys.

  • Prioritising spending on quality experiences.

  • Past Financial Hardship and Emotional Impact

  • Past experiences of financial hardship leading to anxiety and hoarding.

  • Reflecting on the emotional impact from periods like the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Personal Growth and Overcoming Beliefs

  • Encouragement to try despite potential failures.
