Why You Overspend, Procrastinate, and Compare: 6 Money Biases That Are Sabotaging Your Financial Goals Jun 07, 2025

Show notes

You’ve got the budget app. You’re reading the personal finance books. You know what you should be doing with your money—so why does it still feel so hard to follow through?

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari breaks down six sneaky psychological biases that shape your money decisions without you even realizing it. From anchoring to optimism bias, these aren’t personal flaws—they’re predictable brain glitches. But once you spot them, you can stop them.

You’ll walk away understanding:
What anchoring bias is and why it makes that $100 dress feel like a steal (when it’s not)
Why the fear of losing money feels worse than actually losing it—and how that keeps you stuck
How your brain protects old money stories through confirmation bias
Why instant gratification keeps winning, even when your future self is begging you to chill
How optimism bias tricks you into thinking “next month” will magically fix everything
Why social proof bias is fueling lifestyle creep—and what to do instead

This is the episode that will make you pause mid-scroll, mid-spend, or mid-self-doubt and say, “Ohhhh, that’s what’s going on.”

If any of these biases hit home, share the episode with a friend and DM Shari @everyonestalkinmoney to keep the conversation going

A new perspective on what being “broke” really means
Tactical ways to document and take inventory of your finances
How self-talk impacts your money habits and confidence

Minimalism Is a Mindset: How Decluttering Can Create Time, Wealth, and Emotional Freedom with Shira Gill May 31, 2025

Show notes

Minimalism isn’t about cold white walls, tossing your kid’s favorite toys when they’re not looking, or never buying another throw pillow again. It’s about being radically intentional with your space, your time, and your money — and learning how to clear what’s cluttering your life, both physically and emotionally.

In this episode of Everyone’s Talkin’ Money, Shari sits down with globally recognized home organizing expert and bestselling author Shira Gill, whose books Minimalista, Organized Living, and LifeStyled have transformed how people across the world think about clutter.

Together, they unpack what minimalism really looks like (hint: it’s not about deprivation), how to raise kids who value their things without hoarding them, and how simplifying your home can lead to greater financial confidence, more time, and more freedom.

Whether your kitchen counter is your current catch-all or your closet is basically a time capsule, this episode will help you get unstuck and start fresh — no color-coded labels required.

In this episode, we discuss:

How minimalism is actually about radical intention, not restriction
Shira’s "one in, one out" rule that keeps chaos in check
The hidden emotional and financial costs of clutter
How disorganization leads to overbuying, time scarcity, and missed bills
Simple organizing systems you can implement today (hello, action basket!)
Why letting go of items can actually create abundance
How to involve kids in the decluttering process without the meltdowns
The connection between a clean space and better decisions — even with food and money

You’ll walk away with:

An empowering definition of minimalism that doesn’t require a beige aesthetic
One simple habit to stop the clutter before it starts
Why the “one in, one out” rule is a game-changer — especially with kids
How clutter leads to overbuying, time stress, and even financial disorganization
The emotional cost of keeping stuff “just in case”
How to set up an action basket and donation system that creates instant relief
Why getting organized boosts confidence, wellness, and even helps you eat better
How to finally let go of items you think you might sell — without guilt

Why do we keep making money decisions that go against our best interests? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Hanna Horvath, Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and financial psychology expert, to unpack why our brains are literally wired to sabotage our financial goals—and what we can do to change that.
