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. They also dive into emotional spending, creating strong financial habits and how tech can help you take back control.

Get ready for some practical and empowering advice for modern money management.
