Episode Synopsis

Not all financial trouble comes from big mistakes. Often, it’s the tiny, unnoticed habits that quietly drain your bank account—and your peace of mind. In this episode of Need to Know, we unpack the subtle red flags in your daily money habits that might be keeping you broke: from forgotten subscriptions and emotional spending to relying on credit cards just to make it through the month. We explore the psychology behind avoidance, the real cost of “I deserve this” thinking, and why awareness—not restriction—is the foundation of financial freedom. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still falling behind, this is the episode for you.#FinancialHabits #MoneyMistakes #BudgetAwareness #PersonalFinance #FinancialFreedom #SubscriptionCreep #EmotionalSpending #CreditCardDebt #AvoidanceBehavior #FinancialWellness #MoneyTips #Budgeting101 #MoneyMindset #DebtFreeJourney #NeedToKnowPodcasthey guys, I need a quick favor that’ll really help keep this show going strong.I’ve partnered with my podcast host to collect some listener feedback, and it only takes about 15 minutes.
