The Curve

Why Your Brain Loves to Spend Money.


Listen Later

Ever wonder why you feel so good when you buy a new outfit but not when you pay your electricity bill? Blame it on dopamine. In this episode, we chat with clinical psychologist Dr. Anastasia Hronis about the science behind impulse spending, why tech companies make shopping way too easy, and how to hack your brain to save instead of splurge. We also unpack everyday addictions (yes, your late-night Netflix habit counts) and how to spot the difference between a harmless treat and a full-blown problem. Plus, Vic confesses her old online shopping addiction, Sophie reveals her unusual bedtime habit, and we learn why Buy Now, Pay Later is the ultimate dopamine trap. Get ready for some serious penny-drop moments!
