Social media can serve an array of useful purposes. It can connect us with our friends, entertain us with content, and even act as an education tool. But do you want to know where social media REALLY lets us down? In our mission to Get Rich Slow.

Every time we try to adjust our budget, we see a friend sharing reels from Europe. Every dollar we save towards our ideal future, we find photos of some stranger flaunting a $100k car. And don’t get us started on all of the influencers who spruik high-cost items as if they’re supermarket staples.

Of course, we never get to see the stories behind the spending. The credit cards which paid for those Eurotrips, or the lease agreements which financed those cars. As a result, it can be easy to reach a grim conclusion:

“Everyone else is doing well. I’m falling behind. And the only way to catch up is to spend my way forward.”

Not only is this idea untrue – it’s also unhelpful towards our Get Rich Slow goals. That’s why, in this session, Tash and Ana set out to equip you with effective methods to combat FOMO. From short-term planning to lifestyle structuring, you’ll learn how to stay the course in an age of conspicuous consumption. Tune in to this ep and win against the algorithm!
