We all know that dopamine drives our spending, whether it’s impulse shopping, online browsing, or grabbing a little treat just because. That quick hit of excitement can make spending feel effortless, while saving? Not so much. But what if we could flip the script and make saving just as rewarding as swiping our card?

This week, I’m unpacking how to retrain your brain to crave financial wins instead of spending sprees. By understanding the psychology behind our money habits, we can start making small shifts that give us that same dopamine rush, not from spending, but from watching our savings grow.

I'm covering:

• Why we’re wired to seek dopamine from spending
• How to make saving feel just as rewarding
• Simple ways to gamify your savings

If you’ve ever struggled to break the cycle of impulse spending, this one’s for you!
