I was working with a natural holistic nutritionist and never really thought about the cost.

Why weren't you thinking about the cost at all?

I was just desperate to feel better and it's sold as a cure-all and you just want to believe that.

So what was your financial state like?

It was bad.

Hey everyone, I'm Rima Grace, host of marketplaces,

this is uncomfortable,

and I am very happy to say that we are back with all new

episodes about life and how money messes with it. This season we explore

industries that promise revolution from alternative medicine and stem cell therapy.

It was going to be my Christmas miracle

that I was going to be able to see better.

Yeah, it is sold as like this magical thing.

Yes, it is.

Our lawyer calls them snake oil salesmen.

Industries like cosmetics and fast fashion. Like how much were you spending on clothes?

I'm spending like all my tips.

I was definitely spending like $200 a week.

I will say about a 300 a month, you know, like five bucks here,

10 bucks here, it really adds up, right? And we're not just looking at how much

money we're pouring into these things, we dig deeper into our motivations and to why we make the spending choices that

we do.
