Episode 487 is episode 315, how to build and break habits that cause you to overspend.

Welcome to the Frugal Friends podcast, where you'll learn to save money, embrace simplicity, and live a rich in your life.

Here are your host, Jen and Jill.

Welcome to the Frugal Friends podcast. My name is Jen.

My name is Jill.

And today we are replaying one of our most downloaded episodes from a few years ago about habits and specifically spending habits.

Turns out we've been talking about this type of thing for a long time. There's a part of me that's

thought we've kind of begun to talk about impulse spending and habit building for our book.

It's like, nah, it's just that we've been talking about this forever,

and we finally thought, let's put it into a book. So if you want our take from kind of the

inception when we were first beginning to talk about habits, that's what we're looking back to,

but still really good, relevant stuff. Yes, but first, this episode is brought to you by two more days.

That's how many days you have left to complete the 2025 Frugal Friends mega survey and make your wishes known.

Let us know the type of content you want more of, help shape the future of frugal friends, and answer 10, sorry, 10 multiple

choice questions. Actually, I think it's nine multiple choice and one short answer. I think we have

been lying to people this entire time, but the short answer is optional. And that's just if you have

an episode suggestion.

So head to frugalfriendspodcast.com slash mega survey or open up any friend letter from the past two weeks.

You have until Sunday evening to fill out the survey, make your wishes known, and maybe we will do one of your episode suggestions.

It really helps us in planning out content. We want to know what matters to you. And this is the only

way to know. So a couple good episodes to queue up for after this one that came up after this episode

was originally recorded.
