The evolution of retirement has been changing for decades and with people living longer than before, many people are wondering where they will end up when their time comes.

This week on the show, Brad explores the algorithm of spending and how social media may be influencing your financial decisions more than you realize. From targeted ads and influencer culture to viral trends and constant exposure to other people's lifestyles, our feeds are designed to keep us scrolling, and spending. Brad breaks down the psychology behind why social media makes it so easy to buy things we don't need and how comparison, convenience, and impulse can quietly derail our financial goals. He also shares practical ways to take back control of your spending, become more intentional with what you consume online, and make financial decisions based on your priorities instead of your algorithm. If you've ever wondered why it feels harder than ever to stop spending, this episode is for you.
