107. Decision fatigue and how to avoid the Comparison Trap
About this episode
Anyone who has spent time on TikTok, Instagram, or even Facebook will be familiar with the Comparison Trap. We log on, scroll for a while, and we find a peer who’s living a seemingly perfect life. It doesn’t make sense: the poster is your age, and earns around your wage. How can they afford to live a life of luxury when you feel like you’re struggling to get ahead?
Recently, a TikTok reel by @jen.rothwell touched on this very topic. And in this session, @tashinvests and Olivia from Her Money’s Worth use this reel as a launchpad to discuss the Comparison Trap. If social media has ever left you feeling behind the curve, this episode will give you a fresh perspective.
