Ever catch yourself staring at your overstuffed closet thinking, “How did I spend so much and still feel like I have nothing to wear?” Or scrolling your Amazon order history and realizing half of it is basically regret with free shipping? You’re not alone — and you’re definitely not the only one tossing money at quick fixes that don’t last.

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari breaks down the timeless truth behind “buy it right or buy it twice.” We’re tossing out the guilt and rewriting your spending strategy — because you deserve purchases that actually hold up and hold meaning. From shoes that save your back to greeting cards that should never cost seven bucks, this episode is your permission slip to blend value and values, spend intentionally, and stop wasting your money on stuff you secretly hate.

You’ll walk away knowing: 

Where it makes sense to splurge so you’re not replacing junk every year 

When “cheap and cheerful” is actually the smarter move 

How to build a personal spending filter you’ll actually stick with 

Why buying better is really about your future self — not the price tag

Ready to spend with confidence and stop the “buy it twice” cycle? Press play — your wallet will thank you.
