• APPLE PAY IS A TRAP: Why Using CASH Will Double Your SAVINGS

  Why does spending $100 with a credit card feel like nothing, but handing over a $100 bill feels like a punch in the gut? 💸🥊In this episode, we expose the psychology of spending that banks don't want you to know about. We are exploring the "Cash Envelope System Reboot"—not because we want you to live like it's 1950, but because your brain is literally wired to overspend when you use digital money.We break down the neuroscience behind the "Pain of Paying." Studies show that swiping a card or using Apple Pay numbs the psychological "sting" of parting with money, creating a dangerous "pleasure of payment" loop that fuels impulse buying. Basically, digital money feels like Monopoly money, and it’s keeping you broke. 💳🚫We analyze why adding "friction" back into your wallet—using physical cash—is the ultimate cheat code for financial discipline. We look at the modern revival of Cash Stuffing, why it works for people who hate budgeting, and how to deal with the awkwardness of counting coins at the register.If you are tired of wondering where your paycheck went, it’s time to stop swiping and start feeling the weight of your money again.In this episode, we cover:The "Pain of Paying": Why your brain treats credit cards like "free money."Digital Traps: How "one-click" purchasing is designed to bypass your self-control.The Cash Envelope Reboot: How to use this vintage method in a digital world.Friction = Freedom: Why making it harder to spend actually makes you richer.🎧 Listen now to trick your brain into saving money.👇 Are you Team Cash or Team Card?
