In this episode, I sit down with Nick Garofalo, CFP candidate and founder of Open Handed Wealth, to discuss the concept of “spaving,” or spending to save, and how businesses use this tactic to influence our financial choices. We dive into the psychology behind marketing strategies like BOGO deals, the importance of aligning spending with your values, and how to make intentional financial decisions. Nick also shares actionable tips for managing expenses, identifying priorities, and resetting spending habits through practices like no-spend weeks.
