In this episode of the Burnout Collective, we discuss a topic we have no business discussing: shopping. Or, rather, using shopping as a coping mechanism—which some like to call doom spending. We talk about buying unnecessary items when stressed or bored, like 6 different Muslin Comfort blankets (and this one time a car). We then chat about the struggle of managing finances to begin with, the science of social media advertising, and the impacts of ADHD on spending habits. Although we know this episode topic was more of the "do as we say, not as we do" type, we still acknowledge our shared desire to eliminate shame around money and end the cycle of guilt associated with spending...under our 6 expensive, cozy blankies.
