Depression costs more than you think / Marriage might save your life / Your $22 smoothie is actually rational
from News Sidequest
A new study finds depression hits personal finances harder than cancer or stroke — and the income gap doesn't close for a decade. Also: marriage is linked to dramatically lower cancer rates, and the study raises a question worth sitting with: is it the ring, or the connection? Plus, there's actually a name for why people buy $22 smoothies when they can't afford a house — and it's more psychologically interesting than it sounds. And a Nutella jar in space, a whole Australian town for sale, automatic military draft registration, and a dead alligator strapped to a car roof. Hosted on Acast.
