This week, we decided to switch things up a bit by engaging with one of our listeners instead of consulting a financial expert. We spoke to Aine, who reached out with a question during Season 1 of Understanding Money. We got in touch with Aine and invited her to join us on the show! Together, we delve into a range of topics, from pensions and savings to everyday expenditure and everything in between. And of course, we address your questions in our Q&A.;   Got a question for Eoin?

Mortgages Revisited: Answering your Questions

In this episode, we're delving deeper into the forces that shape our spending habits. If you caught our earlier episode on Heuristics this season, you'll know just how fascinating the shortcuts our brains take can be. But now, we're turning our attention to another influencing force: retailers.   We sat down with Damien O’Reilly, a lecturer from TUD, to uncover the sneaky tricks retailers use to nudge us into unconscious spending. It's eye-opening to see just how much time these retailers devote to understanding our habits. Hopefully, by being more mindful of our own habits, we might find some more room for saving.   Got a question for Eoin?
