Before You Blame Inflation: The Spending Habits Making Life Less Affordable: S10E07

If rising prices have you blaming inflation for everything, it may be worth looking at the spending habits that have become normal. Our favorite Bookkeeping Mensch, Paul Rosenblum, looks at the difference between expenses we can’t control and the choices that still belong to us. Ultimately, affordability includes how we decide what we need, want, and can actually afford. With convenience making it easier than ever to spend without thinking much about it, Paul looks at where everyday choices can start stretching a budget too far. From credit cards to routine purchases that no longer feel optional, he brings the conversation back to one simple question: does your spending actually fit the money you have? It’s a timely reminder to look at those habits now, before they become even harder to change.
