We can all admit that it is fun to buy stuff. But what is truly motivating our desire to purchase more things? How do we reconcile what we want vs what we need? 

The answer is in this week’s Shawnism: “Only Buy Things You Love.” 

Shawn sits down with bestselling author and personal finance Guru, “Your Rich BFF” Vivian Tu, to talk about the growing lack of financial knowledge today, how social media has heavily influenced our buying behaviors, and why only buying what you love can prevent you from a cycle of constant consumption.  

Vivian also gives us a lesson on what value-based spending is, and how it can truly help you gain an upper hand in your own financial journey.
