Each person has their own personal status quo, but sometimes, the prospect of upgrading to a more upscale lifestyle can be tempting. Hey, shiny things are fun—and it feels like the messaging on all our screens and platforms holds that if we’re just willing to spend more money, a better life awaits. But, whether those upgrades mean renting a higher-end apartment, springing for a luxury car, booking a lavish vacation, or anything else, this kind of “lifestyle creep” can also bring long-term financial consequences.

How can we avoid the potential negative implications of the overspending associated with lifestyle creep? We’ve got tips to help you protect yourself.

HOST: Ella Dove, Sr. Director of Creative Development at Well+Good

GUEST(S): Financial Literacy Advocate, Vivian Tu, provides actionable tips and strategies to help you break free from the lifestyle creep trap and secure your future, both financially and personally.
