Weekly Summarization - MoneyMasterClass Week 33
Financial expert Gail Vaz-Oxlade is helping individuals take control of their finances and achieve debt freedom through her practical approach, which focuses on understanding spending habits and curbing impulse purchases.
In the Money Master Class, Vaz-Oxlade leads a spending analysis, encouraging participants to track their purchases and identify unnecessary expenses. This process is a crucial part of her approach, which is outlined in the "The Gail Way" worksheets.
Vaz-Oxlade emphasizes the importance of having financial goals to keep the focus on the bigger picture and avoid giving in to emotionally driven impulse purchases. By understanding the motivations behind purchases, participants can make more informed decisions and manage their finances more effectively.
Impulse buying can be driven by emotional needs and a desire to fit in with others. To combat this, Vaz-Oxlade suggests recognizing the triggers that cause these behaviors and implementing strategies to resist them. This could involve waiting periods before buying, avoiding temptation zones (like certain stores or websites), and focusing on needs versus wants.
The Money Master Class provides resources, spreadsheets, and quizzes to help participants get started. The worksheet for the spending analysis can be found on the Hoyes Michalos - Money Master Class website. The course also includes weekly recaps for those who need to catch up, and the credit card condoms lesson is available in Week 4.
