01/21/23 • 38 min

As we begin a new year and take stock of behaviors we’d like to change in ourselves for the better, let’s reflect on our e-commerce shopping habits. We’ve become a culture that craves instant gratification with one click though services like Amazon, Instagram shopping and more. If you are looking to save more money (and who isn’t?), Galia shows you how you don’t have to stop cold turkey with online shopping, but instead - give yourself some financial guardrails by checking how much you spent last year online, setting a monthly spending limit, creating a designated day to shop and more. Susan shares some of her recent crazy purchases and gives us a mnemonic device we can all live by - “CAN SHEEP EAT PIZZA?”
