In this vault podcast episode, I chat with Mindy Weinstein, author of "The Power of Scarcity," about the role scarcity plays in our daily lives, particularly in your relationship with money. Mindy explains that scarcity is the strongest influence factor and is the unavailability of something, whether it's hard to get or simply unavailable. Scarcity plays a significant role in your money decisions, as you tend to focus on getting something that is popular or hard to obtain, even if you don't necessarily need it. Mindy shares research studies that show how scarcity affects your decision-making process at a subconscious level, which is really fascinating. We also do a deep dive into insights about how to avoid making impulsive purchases driven by scarcity. I'm very guilty of that!

What can the dying teach us about money? Turns out, it’s a lot. It’s an interesting question that, if you’re like me, you don’t think about a lot on a daily basis.

So, I think we can learn a lot about the role money should play in our life from someone who is dying.

So my question is this - I really try really hard to budget and do everything you say to do. And they help, really they do, but lately, I’ve been struggling. I feel like I’m always underestimating my expenses and then I get to the end of the month and the money that’s supposed to be there isn’t. What am I doing wrong?
