When Did Existing Become So Expensive?
This week on This is Why I’m Tired… when did existing become SO expensive?!
From £40 food shops that somehow contain three items, to subscription overload, rising bills, beauty maintenance, business costs, and the emotional exhaustion of constantly thinking about money. Why does it feel like we’re all working harder but getting less in return?
In this episode, I’m chatting about the pressure of trying to “keep up” in 2026, the weird guilt around spending money, social media making everyone look secretly rich, and the reality of running a small business while costs keep climbing.
Basically… adulthood currently feels like one big direct debit.
If you’ve ever opened your banking app and immediately felt unwell, this episode is for you.
