Christmas Ads, Consumer Mentality & Spending Beyond Our Means

As we’re now approaching the festive season, our TV screens & social media feeds are becoming filled with Christmas adverts from all of our favourite brands & retailers. In this episode, we take a look at changing buying habits as consumers start to spend more (even during a pandemic!). We consider the possible correlation between social media and today’s spending psyche - where there seems to be more of a need to have the latest items & keep up to a lifestyle that’s possibly not sustainable. We also discuss some of the financial & environmental implications this mentality is having on our society.
