People Complain They’re Broke but Still Keep Spending (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In this 20 February 2026 video, host Michael Bordenaro talks about how people often complain of being broke while continuing to spend due to a mix of psychological factors like “money dysmorphia” (feeling poor despite stability), social pressure to maintain a certain lifestyle, and a reliance on instant gratification. Despite inflation, consumer behavior is driven by impulse buying, “buy now, pay later” services, and a failure to prioritize long-term savings over immediate, often unnecessary, comforts. 

Impulse and lifestyle choices leads to high spending on non-essentials like daily takeout, entertainment, or, for example, high-end electronics, often to combat stress or feel a sense of normalcy. Individuals can experience social and external pressures like peer influence, comparison shopping, and aggressive marketing drive, for instance, the desire to maintain a specific, often unaffordable, social status. This can lead to prioritizing immediate gratification over long-term financial health, such as neglecting retirement savings for current, discretionary purchases.
