Is It Lifestyle Creep… or Is Life Just Getting More Expensive?
About this episode
The episode explores the confusion between lifestyle creep and rising living costs while addressing financial decision-making in relationships.
Be honest… are you actually spending more, or does it just feel that way? In this week’s Friday Drinks, we’re unpacking the very real confusion between lifestyle creep and the rising cost of literally everything. If you’ve looked at your bank account lately and thought “how am I spending this much when I’m not even doing anything outrageous?”… this one’s for you. We’re also diving into a DM that hits a little close to home. What happens when you’re the one making all the financial decisions in your relationship… not because you want to control everything, but because your partner just isn’t interested? How do you get them involved without turning into the nag, and how do you stop carrying the guilt? Plus, as always: Jess brings the community money wins Bec delivers broke tips that actually work (especially if you’re in your “survival week” era) And we answer your Question of the Week, which might make you feel very seen… 💬 Want to be on the pod?
