Are all of our friends broke and in credit card debt or are they actually just that wealthy? We talked with young adults with various degrees of credit card debt to figure out how they found themselves in debt, if they have a path out, and later, bring on a financial therapist to help us understand our relationship with money. We explore the underlying psychology behind impulsive spending, the nuances of consumerism, and gain valuable tips on fostering money self-control. Additionally, we dive into the art of budgeting, offering practical advice to empower you in making informed financial decisions and securing a stable financial future.
