Why Your Brain Is Working Against Your Wallet (And What to Do About It)

You're not bad with money. Your brain is just doing exactly what human brains do.

In this episode, Maddie and Meghan walk through five psychological concepts that quietly work against your wallet — from why future-you feels like a stranger to why you'd rather scrub your bathroom than open a credit card statement. Each one is backed by real research, and each one comes with a practical move you can make this week.

The problem was never discipline. It was always just psychology. And now you have the tools.
