5 Tiny Habits That Stop STRESS Spending (DO #1 LAST)

You don't have a discipline problem with money — you have a brain problem. Every time saving "fails," it feels like a willpower issue, but it's not. In this video, you'll learn 5 tiny habits that rewire the actual brain chemistry behind stress-spending — the 48-hour rule that outsmarts dopamine (Robert Sapolsky), the mental accounting trick that protects your money before you even see it (Richard Thaler), why your brain always picks Now over Later (George Ainslie, Sendhil Mullainathan & Eldar Shafir), the 10-minute habit that breaks the avoidance loop (Roy Baumeister & Kathleen Vohs), and the stress circuit-breaker that stops spending in the exact moment the urge hits — built on Sapolsky's cortisol research and Jennifer Lerner's work on sadness and spending. If this made your own spending make more sense, subscribe — we do money psychology every week here, not budgeting tips. Are you starting with the 48-hour rule or the automatic save?
