Has this happened to you: You’ve finally gotten a nice raise, or landed a higher-paying job, and you have more hard-earned cash. But somehow, by the end of the month, your wallet still feels empty. 

You’re not imagining it; it’s called Lifestyle Creep. Basically, as our income rises, so do our expectations. And before you know it, your spending has snuck up alongside your salary, leaving you feeling, ironically, poorer.

Audrey and Ryan talk about the sneaky creep that keeps dipping into your accounts, and how you could possibly chase it away.
