Welcome back to another Emma's Dilemma. Today we're unpacking a curly one about what happens when we cut off one area of spending... but just spend the same amount in another area. In this episode I dive into:

  • The difference between being pulled to spend on one specific area vs spending as a behaviour more generally
  • An exercise to understand the unmet needs we might be responding to with spending transference
  • The concept of hedonic adaptation and how we can combat it
  • The PERMA model from Positive Psychology and how it can help us get more meaningful value from our money
