We all experience that feeling when you make a purchase and you end up regretting it. It happens. Could be as small as spending more than you usually would on a dinner and you’re left feeling unsatisfied. Or it can be more significant, like in the case of purchasing a car and that car not living up to the experience you were hoping for. In either case, there’s a sense of regret and that regret is tied to your relationship with your income, expenses, and expectations. It can be difficult to assess whether the feeling is temporary – maybe in the case of a one-off transaction – or if it’s part of an ongoing trend that persists across your entire financial picture. 

On today’s episode, we look into a different kind of burnout than the work-related burnout ER Docs are accustomed to hearing about and focus on ways to restructure your relationship with spending to help combat this feeling and reprioritize what’s important to you.
