Money on Tap: Why Easier Isn’t Always Better

Digital payments have become the norm in managing our money but why has there been a boost in cash spending? In this episode, our host Iona Bain sits down with financial advisor, author and content creator Emmanuel Asuquo to unpack our evolving relationship with money in a cashless world. Emmanuel explores the psychological impact of contactless spending, why so many are returning to cash, and how to create ‘friction’ in your finances to avoid mindless purchases.
