007. Do $118 yoga pants make you happier? Lifestyle creep and lifestyle satisfaction

from Inside Out Money · host Maggie Tucker

Liz joins this week's podcast, and we introduce the concept of lifestyle inflation or creep and share how our lifestyles have inflated in the last 10-20 years. We discuss the research on what makes people happy, the concept of hedonic adaptation, and the hedonic treadmill, and we go deep on whether we can genuinely admit or realize when our ego is driving our purchase decisions. Lifestyle inflation isn’t always bad, though we both strive to be intentional with our spending. We then dig into individual spending categories and reveal how our lifestyles have inflated over the years.  Get the full show notes, show references, and more information here: https://insideoutmoney.org/007-do-118-yoga-pants-make-you-happier-lifestyle-creep-and-lifestyle-satisfaction/
