In this video, we’re talking about the holiday debt trap: how rising costs, buy now pay later plans, social media pressure, and emotional spending have quietly turned gift-giving into a financial minefield. We break down the psychology behind why we feel compelled to spend money to “prove” our love, how companies and marketing amplify that pressure, and why the cost of the holidays is so much bigger than just gifts. ✏️ Check out my new newsletter, The Pop Finance Report: https://thepopfinancereport.substack.... !!
